Claim: Democrats Dehumanize ICE Agents

1. Portrayal of ICE Operations

• ICE arrests in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul) are presented as targeting violent criminal offenders, including:
  • Registered sex offenders
  • Individuals accused of rape
  • Individuals with histories of domestic violence, DUI, and sexual assault
• These individuals were previously free due to local non‑cooperation with ICE.
• ICE is described as fulfilling its intended mission of removing dangerous criminals from communities.

2. Criticism of Democratic Leadership

• Minnesota Democratic officials (mayors, city council members, state leaders)
• National Democratic figures (Chuck Schumer, Chris Van Hollen, Tina Smith, Stacey Abrams, Jon Ossoff)

Key accusations include:

• Shielding criminal undocumented immigrants
• Encouraging or excusing obstruction of ICE operations
• Falsely portraying ICE as abusive or authoritarian
• Refusing to condemn protests that allegedly crossed legal or ethical lines (e.g., disrupting church services)

3. Depiction of Internal Democratic Conflict

• There is a “civil war” within the Democratic Party:
  • One faction allegedly wants to abolish ICE outright
  • Another faction purportedly wants to soften rhetoric while effectively achieving the same outcome
• Democrats are accused of strategically “humanizing criminals” and “dehumanizing ICE agents” to influence public perception.

4. Framing of Protests and Activism

• Protesters opposing ICE are described as:
  • “Far‑left,” “radical,” or “deranged”
  • Protecting criminals rather than communities
• Protests at or inside churches are portrayed as violations of social and religious norms.
• Democratic officials are criticized for characterizing these protests as mostly peaceful and justified.

5. Media and Narrative Control

• • Mainstream and local media underreport crimes committed by arrested undocumented immigrants
  • Media figures fail to challenge false or extreme claims made about ICE
• ICE agents are framed as unfairly maligned while operating under hostile political conditions.

6. Broader Ideological Framing

• The Democratic Party is portrayed as influenced by:
  • Marxism, socialism, and communism
  • Anti‑police and anti‑law‑enforcement ideology
• References to Hitler, Hugo Chávez, and authoritarianism are used to argue that left‑wing populism is dangerous and historically problematic.

7. Pro‑Trump and Law‑and‑Order Message

• Donald Trump is:
  • A defender of law enforcement
  • A counterweight to radical left activism
• Voter support for Trump is driven by a desire for public safety, border enforcement, and accountability.
