The Gist
The author argues that Democratic politicians are being hypocritical by attacking ICE agents who are doing important work removing dangerous criminals from communities. While Democrats make false claims and grandstand for political points, ICE is actually making America safer by arresting rapists, pedophiles, and other violent criminals.
