Just one week into President Trump's historic mass deportation operation, radical Democrat Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania is showing his true colors by attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who are finally doing their job.
Shapiro, widely considered a frontrunner for the Democrats' 2028 presidential nomination, claimed Tuesday that ICE has no legitimate "mission" when operating in cities like Minneapolis. Instead, the Pennsylvania governor outrageously suggested that federal immigration agents exist solely "to violate people's constitutional rights."
This is the same Josh Shapiro who was nearly selected as Kamala Harris's running mate in 2024 before Democrats deemed him too moderate. Apparently, that facade is crumbling fast as he races to the left to appeal to the radical base that controls his party.
Defending Lawbreakers Over Law-Abiding Americans
Shapiro's attack on ICE comes as Trump's administration is delivering on its core campaign promise to restore order at our borders and remove criminal illegal aliens who have terrorized American communities for years. These aren't random raids – these are targeted operations against individuals who have already been ordered deported by federal judges.
But for Democrats like Shapiro, enforcing immigration law is somehow a constitutional violation. This is the same warped thinking that gave us sanctuary cities, catch-and-release policies, and the Biden border crisis that allowed millions of unvetted migrants to flood into our country.
"The American people voted for deportations, they voted for border security, and they voted to end the lawlessness that Democrats enabled for four years," said one Trump administration official.
What's truly unconstitutional is allowing foreign nationals to ignore federal law while law-abiding Americans foot the bill for their housing, healthcare, and education. What's unconstitutional is prioritizing the "rights" of people who shouldn't be here over the safety and prosperity of American citizens.
Shapiro's comments reveal the fundamental disconnect between the Democrat Party and working Americans who are tired of being told that enforcing our laws is somehow bigoted or unconstitutional. This is exactly the kind of elite, open-borders thinking that cost Democrats the White House, Senate, and House in 2024.
As Trump's deportation operation continues to remove criminal aliens from our communities, expect more Democrat politicians to show their true allegiances. The question is: will voters remember in 2028 who stood with lawbreakers over law-abiding Americans?
