In a stunning display of anti-American extremism, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is threatening to shut down the Department of Homeland Security unless President Trump stops Immigration and Customs Enforcement from doing their job of protecting our borders.
Speaking on MSNBC's "Katy Tur Reports" Tuesday, Jeffries made it crystal clear that Democrats would rather see America's security apparatus collapse than allow ICE agents to remove illegal aliens from our communities. The radical Democrat leader warned that DHS will shut down Friday unless ICE is "reined in" from conducting the deportation operations that Americans overwhelmingly voted for in November.
This is the same Hakeem Jeffries who spent years calling for "defunding" law enforcement while crime ravaged American cities. Now he's holding our national security hostage because President Trump is actually following through on his campaign promises to secure our border and remove criminals who have no right to be here.
Democrats Choose Illegals Over Americans
Let's be absolutely clear about what's happening here, Patriots. Jeffries and his radical colleagues are more concerned about protecting foreign nationals who broke our laws than they are about the safety and security of American citizens. They're willing to shut down the very agency responsible for protecting us from terrorists, drug cartels, and human traffickers – all to stop Trump from removing people who shouldn't be here in the first place.
"The American people voted decisively for mass deportations and border security. Now Democrats want to shut down DHS to stop us from delivering on those promises."
This is the same party that screamed about "threats to democracy" for four years, yet they're the ones sabotaging our immigration enforcement and threatening to leave America vulnerable. Secretary Kristi Noem and her team at DHS are working around the clock to implement President Trump's America First agenda, and Democrats are trying to kneecap them at every turn.
The question every American should be asking is simple: Why are Democrats so desperate to protect illegal aliens that they're willing to shut down our homeland security? What are they really afraid of ICE discovering?
