Proving yet again that the Democrat train has jumped its tracks, far-left Representative John Larson of Connecticut compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to Nazis.
The narrative that enforcing federal immigration law resembles Nazi Germany has become a key narrative among Democrats. Illegal aliens are key constituents, and someday, Democrats hope, voters.
So Larson joins the long line of crackpot Democrats — Boston Mayor Michelle and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz among them — who can’t stand to see those future voters deported.
Larson represents the norm in the Democrat party: pro-illegal alien, but anti-federal immigration law.
Days ago, for instance, he took the side of illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the notorious wife-beating illegal-alien gang member, recently arrested again and slated for deportation.
“Kilmar Ábrego García is home from El Salvador, but now ICE wants to deport him to Uganda — without hearing his case in court or even answering questions from his lawyers,” Larson wrote on X:
I stand with Kilmar and Senator @ChrisVanHollen to demand the due process everyone in our country deserves.
In fact, Garcia’s home is El Salvador, but anyway, the congressman made it official. He stands with a wife-beater and MS-13 member who was indicted for human smuggling and who solicited nude photos and participated, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has alleged, in the murder of another rival gang member’s mother.
He also condemned in the “harshest possible terms” the arrest of illegals at a carwash in Newington, Connecticut. “This is exactly the kind of heavy-handed, unconstitutional action we have come to expect from his administration and his ICE operatives,” he said:
They operate in secrecy, wearing masks, ignoring due process, disregarding the rights of individuals, and showing no respect for the laws of our state or the elected officials of our communities. These raids are not about safety. They are about fear.
So his hatred of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents is hardly a surprise. And neither is his obsession with agents who mask to protect their identities from far-left terrorists.
Ranting like an involuntarily committed patient in Bedlam at a hate-ICE rally, Larson unbosomed himself of a tirade in a raspy, raging voice:
This is not Germany, That’s the SS and the Gestapo. This is the United States of America. Unmask yourselves.
Forcing agents to unmask so leftists can identify them and possibly terrorize their families is the latest cause of the party. Federal and state legislators have introduced legislation that would forbid agents to masks.
“An absolutely unhinged @RepJohnLarson screams that ICE agents are ‘the SS’ and ‘the Gestapo’ for arresting illegal immigrants,“ the Rapid Response X feed replied to Larson’s:
Democrats continue to value illegals and criminals over law-abiding citizens, while endangering the heroes working to keep us safe — it’s sick.
Whether Larson supported ICE’s arresting illegal-alien sex fiends and other criminals during a four-day operation in Connecticut is unclear. Operation Broken Trust bagged “29 individuals [who] had been convicted or charged in the United States with serious crimes, including kidnapping, assault, drug offenses, weapons violations, and sex crimes,” ICE reported. “Others were identified as members of transnational gangs or had criminal histories in their native countries.”
Of a piece with Larson’s deranged commentary was that of far-left Democrat Enrique Sanchez, a state representative in Rhode Island.
After ICE arrested an illegal Honduran MS-13 gang member, Sanchez wrote that “Nazi Gestapo ICE thugs kidnapped another of our neighbor[s] in Providence.”
Boston’s Wu has called ICE agents neo-Nazis, while Walz, like Larson, called ICE agents the Gestapo.
Walz — a former National Guard sergeant who abandoned his troops when they deployed to Iraq — thinks ICE agents are comparable to the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police.
“Donald Trump’s modern-day Gestapo is scooping folks up off the streets,” said Walz:
They’re in unmarked vans, wearing masks, being shipped off to foreign torture dungeons, no chance to mount a defense, not even a chance to kiss a loved one goodbye, just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared.
When Democrats aren’t calling ICE agents Nazis, they’re calling them terrorists. Democratic Representative Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), an anchor baby to Guatemalan illegals, recently called ICE a “terrorist organization.” Far-left Democratic immigrant Representative Pramillia Jayapal (D-Wash.) has said that ICE is a “terrorist force,” a sentiment with which Doug Halter, Democratic Deputy Mayor of Ventura, California, agrees.
Other Democrats go further.
California Democratic Representative Salud Carbajal joined a mob of violent protesters when ICE raided two pot farms. But worse than that, ICE alleged, “According to agents on the ground, the congressman doxed that same ICE employee by sharing his business card with members of the violent mob.”
In a crazy video, Cynthia Gonzalez, the Democratic vice mayor of Cudahy, California, encouraged the 18th Street and Florencia 13 gangs to attack ICE agents.
The 18th Street gang is one of the two most murderous gangs in the world. It counts from 30,000 to 50,000 members in Mexico, the United States, and Central America. The Mexican Mafia, “the deadliest and most powerful gang” in California’s prison system, controls Florencia 13.
All that rhetoric might explain why violent mobs are attacking ICE agents.
“On August 20, ICE agents were conducting targeted immigration enforcement at 100 Montgomery Street [in San Francisco], DHS reported:
As law enforcement attempted to carry out its sworn duties, anti-ICE rioters surrounded and assaulted four federal agents outside the building. The agents sustained injuries from pepper spray deployed by rioters and a jammed finger.
Early this month, DHS reported that attacks on ICE agents had increased 1,000 percent since President Trump took office.
