Another radical Democrat mayor is actively sabotaging President Trump's mass deportation agenda, with Everett, Washington Mayor Cassie Franklin issuing a defiant directive to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in city facilities.
The brazen move has sparked immediate federal backlash, as ICE officials condemn Franklin's interference with lawful immigration enforcement. This is exactly the kind of deep blue resistance Trump warned about during his campaign – liberal politicians putting illegal immigrants before American citizens.
Sanctuary City Obstruction Returns
Franklin's directive represents a return to the sanctuary city playbook that plagued Trump's first term, where Democrat mayors actively harbored criminal aliens and obstructed federal law enforcement. These politicians seem more concerned with virtue signaling to their woke base than protecting their own communities from dangerous criminals.
The timing couldn't be more telling. Just weeks into Trump's second term, as his administration begins delivering on the mass deportation promise that helped secure his decisive 2024 victory, Democrat mayors are already throwing up roadblocks to keep illegal immigrants in our communities.
"This is what resistance to the rule of law looks like – liberal mayors choosing politics over public safety," said one immigration enforcement expert.
ICE's swift response sends a clear message: the Trump-Vance administration won't tolerate the same obstruction that hampered immigration enforcement under the previous administration. Unlike his first term, Trump now has experienced leadership and a clear mandate from voters who demanded secure borders and mass deportations.
American Patriots Demand Action
While Franklin plays politics with public safety, hardworking Americans in Everett are left wondering why their own mayor is more concerned with protecting illegal immigrants than enforcing the law. These are the same communities that have suffered from increased crime, drug trafficking, and economic strain caused by unchecked illegal immigration.
The question every patriot should be asking: How many more Democrat mayors will choose to obstruct Trump's America First agenda instead of protecting their own citizens? And more importantly, what consequences will they face for this blatant defiance of federal immigration law?
