ICE, ANTIFA, AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Yesterday, this newsletter included the violent anti-ICE ambush in Texas as an example of the anger building on the left under the presidency of Donald Trump. Much of that anger is over illegal immigration, with big groups on the left seeking to defend illegal entry into the United States against the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce immigration law. In that cause, radical forces on the left, like antifa — they were the attackers in Texas — are fundamentally aligned with more conventional activist groups on the left, as well as with the Democratic Party, from its progressive to its more moderate wings.
If you want to read a description of the ICE attack, go to the Justice Department’s criminal complaint outlining attempted murder charges against the 10 radicals accused of attacking the ICE Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on the 4th of July. It’s quite a narrative.
