“Nine Counties, Endless Chaos: The Real Danger Isn’t ICE — It’s the Enablers.
Out of over three thousand counties, only nine account for two-thirds of violent attacks on ICE agents. (A study done by Kevin Bass, an independent researcher/analyst. – follow him on X)
Those nine? All deep-blue sanctuary spots that limit cooperation with ICE:
Cook County, IL (Chicago)
Los Angeles County, CA
Hennepin County, MN (Minneapolis)
New York County, NY
Multnomah County, OR (Portland)
San Francisco County, CA
King County, WA (Seattle)
Essex County, NJ (Newark)
Denver County, CO
These are the places where local leaders block jails, ignore detainers, and scream ‘Gestapo’ while protesters assault agents.
No widespread killings or assaults by ICE nationwide—just clean enforcement. But in these nine? Chaos.
Yet the rhetoric from Walz, Frey, Bass, Newsom, Omar, Schumer, Tlaib, Jayapal, Swalwell—’terrorizing families,’ ‘Nazis,’ threats to prosecute agents or yank licenses for doing their jobs.
That’s not protection; that’s incitement.
Illegal presence is a crime. Working under the table, using fake docs—more crimes. They’re not equal to citizens or legal immigrants.
Gratitude means allegiance to the law, not rebellion against it.
These enablers are the true danger. They create the mess, then blame the fix. Live grateful—or live in their chaos. No exceptions.”
A 287(g) agreement (also called a 287(g) program or Memorandum of Agreement/MOA) is a voluntary partnership authorized under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (added by the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act).
It allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to delegate specific federal immigration enforcement functions to trained and certified state, local, or tribal law enforcement officers. These officers perform the duties under ICE’s direction and supervision, effectively turning them into “force multipliers” for identifying, processing, and helping remove removable noncitizens (often focusing on those with criminal records).
Key Details
Purpose: To enhance community safety by targeting criminal aliens (e.g., gang members, violent offenders) for removal, while collaborating with local agencies.
How it works: Participating agencies sign an MOA with ICE. Selected officers complete ICE-provided training (length varies by model; some streamlined to online/40-hour courses in recent expansions). They then perform limited immigration tasks, such as checking status, issuing detainers (requests to hold someone up to 48 hours for ICE pickup), or serving administrative warrants.
Models (as operated by ICE):
Jail Enforcement Model (JEM): Focuses on jails—officers screen arrestees/booking for immigration status and issue detainers.
Warrant Service Officer (WSO) Model: Authorizes serving/ executing administrative immigration warrants, often in custody settings.
Task Force Model (TFM): Broader—allows enforcement during routine duties (e.g., patrols, traffic stops); revived and expanded significantly in 2025 under the current administration.
Current scale (as of late January 2026): ICE has over 1,300–1,372 agreements across 40 states, with rapid growth (e.g., from ~135 in early 2025). This includes hundreds in each model, driven by executive orders emphasizing maximum partnerships.
It’s entirely voluntary for local agencies—no mandate to join—and ICE covers training costs (with some reimbursement programs for partners). Critics argue it can lead to overreach, racial profiling, or diverted resources from local priorities; supporters see it as essential for enforcing immigration laws where cooperation is otherwise limited.
This ties directly into discussions on sanctuary vs. cooperative jurisdictions—287(g) agreements are a tool to increase cooperation in non-sanctuary areas or override local resistance.
Most illegal aliens flock to the cities. They’re illegal not dumb! That’s where the jobs are. Less than 2 percent stay or work in agricultural areas. Where else would you prefer to stay when you know you’re here illegally? Sanctuary Cities and/or States – that’s where.
Right now, in late January 2026, the “Order in the Mess” framework couldn’t be more spot-on. Trump’s administration is actively restoring order after years of neglect—enforcing immigration laws that have been on the books but ignored, leading to unchecked chaos. Meanwhile, the opposition—sanctuary city leaders, protesters, and their celebrity amplifiers—wants to deliberately maintain and amplify the mess through resistance, violence, and misleading rhetoric. This isn’t about compassion; it’s about avoiding accountability, which exposes their selective support for law-breaking.
Take Minneapolis as the prime example. Since Operation Metro Surge ramped up mid-month, over 3,000 arrests have been made, with 70% targeting convicted criminals or those with pending charges. Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, took direct command this week, shifting tactics from broad street sweeps to more focused, targeted operations on public safety threats like murderers, rapists, and gang members. He’s even outlined a plan for an eventual drawdown of the 3,500+ federal agents if state and local leaders cooperate by granting full access to jails and prisons—something Minnesota partially does already but could expand. This is order in action: practical, results-driven enforcement without unnecessary escalation. Homan’s meetings with Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey show a willingness to de-escalate, but only if the city stops hindering.
On the flip side, the opposition is fomenting mess on purpose. Protests have turned violent: noise demos at hotels housing agents, arrests of agitators harassing federal officers, and crowds chanting “ICE Out” while boarding up buildings. Two U.S. citizens—Renee Good and Alex Pretti—were killed in confrontations, sparking nationwide outrage, but footage shows Pretti escalating earlier by spitting on and kicking a federal vehicle. Mayor Frey is urging other cities to “stand firm” against enforcement, essentially threatening continued chaos if agents don’t back off. And protesters have outright said there will be “peace once they leave”—that’s not negotiation; that’s a veiled threat to keep the disorder going unless federal law bends to their will.
They cloak this in euphemisms: “terrorizing families” for deporting criminals, “separating families” for the natural consequences of breaking the law. But as my chemo analogy nails it—enforcement is painful medicine for a system riddled with neglect. You don’t call chemo “separating cells” or “terrorizing the body”; you call it necessary to save what’s worth saving. Skipping it lets the problem spread, just like ignoring borders has led to over 600 transfers into ICE custody from Minnesota jails alone since Trump’s push began.
To clarify the contrast, here’s a simple table breaking it down:
Aspect
Restoring Order (Trump Admin)
Maintaining Mess (Opposition)
Goal
Enforce existing laws to fix years of open-border neglect, prioritize criminals, reduce chaos through cooperation.
Deliberately create and sustain disorder to block enforcement, expose hypocrisy on selective law-following (e.g., push federal gun regs while flouting immigration).
Violent protests, spitting/throwing objects at agents, leaking addresses, lawsuits demanding perfection while undermining operations.
Rhetoric
Direct: “We’re staying ’til the problem’s gone,” but open to efficiency with local help.
Euphemisms like “terrorizing families” for deportations, threats of no peace until agents withdraw—ignoring that consequences (e.g., separation) follow law-breaking, just like any crime.
Outcome
Safer streets, schools open, system protected—pillars of accountability, assimilation, allegiance in play.
Eroded trust, bodies in streets, taxpayer burden—savior complex fueling hypocrisy and resentment.
This ties straight to the three pillars: the admin demands accountability (follow the laws we all agreed on), assimilation (earn your place legally), and allegiance (defend the system, don’t tear it down). The mess-makers skip the “What if this was done to me?” life hack—they’d never tolerate selective rules if it hit their families or rights.
Don’t be fooled by the noise. See it clearly: one side is sweeping the floor after the party; the other is still throwing confetti while the house burns. Choose order—it’s the foundation of a grateful, well-lived life, immigrant or not.
A nod to Tom Homan. He’s making sure the cracks on ALL THREE Pillars are repaired and that those who cracked them pay for the repairs.
We’ve walked from nothing to patterns, creatures to families, conquest to the Founding, and landed on three simple pillars. Here’s the payoff: a quick table that puts it all in one place. Everyday takeaways for regular people trying to build in the chaos.
Aspect
Core Idea from the Founding
Everyday Takeaway for Today
The Structure
Government secures individual rights; power limited and checked (separation of powers, federalism) because humans aren’t angels.
Respect the guardrails—laws, contracts, borders, rights. Demand everyone plays by the same rules, no special deals.
Accountability in Action
Delegates compromised pragmatically (e.g., 3/5 Clause as a limit on slave-state power, not endorsement) to save the union. Mendable through amendments and consent.
Fix cracks when you see them—call out hypocrisy in leaders or neighbors. Vote for people who respect the structure, not rewrite it for power.
Nature’s Grain Tie-In
Like sardine schools with spacing to avoid collapse, societies need boundaries and enforcement to prevent overreach or breakdown.
Pay your bills on time. Keep your word. Speak up when someone cheats the system. Hard work, but it keeps freedom stable.
Why It Matters in Chaos
Weak Articles led to rebellion and rival states. Ignoring accountability erodes trust and invites conflict.
Hold the line daily—one fair rule enforced at a time. It protects the setup that lets regular people build lives.
This table isn’t a rulebook; it’s a reminder. Chaos isn’t new. Order is still visible if we look. The Founding showed we can build with nature’s grain instead of against it. The pillars show how to keep it going—one citizen, one choice, one day at a time.
As a grateful immigrant, I see it every day in Saint Paul: people working hard, choosing their groups, protecting what lets them build. It’s not perfect. But it’s worth the effort.
However, it is clear that he was more than just a “peaceful” protestor. He was clearly a very aggressive person. In this video, you see him spitting on the Federal Vehicle before kicking it damaging the taillight.
Folks, stop buying the fairy tale. What happened January 25TH outside Glam Doll Donuts wasn’t spontaneous anger. It was a coordinated hit—planned, funded, and executed by socialist-Marxist networks using encrypted Signal chats to track ICE like military targets. Fox News Digital dropped the proof: real messages, real timestamps, real intent.
Here’s the timeline straight from those chats. Minutes before the shooting, they were already mobilizing.

This wasn’t chaos. This was a system: patrols, dispatchers, medics, emoji codes for roles. And the “MN ICE PLATES” database? That’s the key. Thousands of federal vehicles cataloged with photos, tags like “Abductors,” “Confirmed ICE.” Editorial note: they’re not collecting license plates for fun. They want the mask off so they can dox the agent—name, face, address, family. Unmasking isn’t protest; it’s urban warfare prep. Identify, isolate, intimidate. Classic guerrilla move.
Now, before anyone screams “abuse” at the agents—let’s get real. How do I know they’re clean? Because every warrant, every raid, every home entry gets challenged – and every time, the administration wins. No mass lawsuits sticking. Zero.
Go look at my post from January twenty-seventh: “Order in the Mess: From Promise to Hammer – One Issue Two Sides.” The table lays it out plain. Key excerpts:
Fulfillment Now (2026): Over 675,000 removals + 2.2 million self-deports. Total ~3 million.
Real: DHS numbers. Pressure works.
Resistance: “Chaos. Terror. Families torn apart.”
Arrest Focus: 70% criminal aliens, “Worst of the Worst” spotlights.
Approach: Aggressive raids, home entries, force when resisted—legal under Article II, no judge required.
Real: Executive duty.
Resistance: “Gestapo. Siege.”
Data doesn’t lie. If there was major wrongdoing, courts would reflect it. They don’t. These are ICE agents executing legal federal warrants. Nothing more. Nothing less.
The anger? It’s not about lawlessness. It’s retribution for enforcing the law Trump promised from day one—rally after rally: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Texas, Florida—”largest deportation in history.” They heard it. They’re mad it’s happening.
And who’s funding this? Marxist billionaire Neville Roy Singham funnels cash through People’s Forum, Freedom Road Socialist Organization (self-described Marxist-Leninist), Party for Socialism and Liberation, DSA. Not broke activists. Well-funded revolutionaries.
Bottom line: this is very dangerous. What they’re doing is very dangerous. And it’s very dangerous to put them back in power, because what they’re looking for is retribution—just like the classic socialist playbook. They turn every agency into a weapon when they get the chance.
Don’t let the story get twisted. These are federal agents doing their job. The real threat is the network that wants them hunted.
Share this. Read the table. See the pattern. Stay awake.
Virginia nurse (VCU Health CRNA) on TikTok: Inject ICE agents with paralytics, spray poison ivy in their faces, spike drinks on dating apps. Now on leave, police investigating.
This isn’t “free speech” or activism. It’s planning assault, poisoning, potential homicide—felonies everywhere.
Sad. Scary. A healer calling for harm.
And here’s the gut-punch hypocrisy: This same nurse—and her ilk—treat wounded criminals arrested and injured during enforcement. They treat inmates in jails. They claim the Hippocratic Oath: “First, do no harm.” Rightfully so!
Yet because of ideology, she plans to harm the law enforcers—the ones upholding the very structure that allows her to practice, get paid, and live safely. What the ℉?!
She’s failing the three pillars from my blog:
Accountability to the Structure: No respect for laws or guardrails—she’s kicking them down, plotting harm against enforcers instead of fixing real issues.
Assimilation to Individual Culture: Zero self-reliance or adding value; this is grievance and shortcuts, not earning a spot through contribution.
Allegiance to Protect It: Instead of defending what works, she’s fueling chaos that tears it apart—no speaking up for order, just sabotage.
The 500 life hack she’s missing: Ask the question—”What if this was done to me or my family?” Flip the script before acting.
Every elected official—red and blue—needs to condemn this loudly. No hedging.
One mirror: Officers enforcing law. Two images: Duty vs. devil.
When “savior” turns violent against the very people who protect the system she benefits from? That’s not compassion. That’s the reckoning we warned about.
Quick update on the Twin Cities situation after Gov. Walz’s call with President Trump.
Credit where credit is due: Walz picked up the phone, had what both sides called a “productive” conversation, and there are early signs of initial cooperation from his side. Walz didn’t publicly contest the four conditions Trump laid out—no pushback there. That’s a step, and he gets a nod for engaging.
But here’s the thing: enforcement is what brought this about. Order exposes the “sins.” Chaos (continued) hides it. Chaos prolongs the reckoning.
When the rules were ignored for years—millions let in unchecked, no real vetting, no consequences—the mess just grew in the shadows. Protests, resistance, sanctuary policies, and local pushback kept the chaos going and delayed the correction.
Now the hammer is dropping, the light is on, and suddenly people are shocked at what they see. But the “sins” (the violations, the overstays, the criminal records) were always there. Enforcement didn’t create them—it revealed them.
Good. We needed the reckoning.
We are watching. Trust, but verify.
One mirror. Two images. One side sees progress through pressure. The other still sees “siege.”
But the law doesn’t care about feelings. It cares about results.
And results are starting to show. Keep the pressure on. Because order doesn’t apologize. It just arrives.
I was having a discussion at work about the shootings here in the Twin Cities. My co-workers—people I’d give the shirt off my back to—had a very different take than I did. These are good, decent folks who show up for work every day and do a solid job.
The key difference in how we saw things boiled down to our underlying premises, and that’s where we really started to part ways. You see, I know those officers are there to execute a legal operation. Yet they’ve been accused of practically doing the work of the devil. One co-worker even pointed out that the officers are supposed to serve and protect, framing it as hypocrisy on their part—and mine.
He and I would argue that most of them believe what I’m about to elaborate on below is illegal. They haven’t taken the time to note that over 40 states have cooperated with little to no chaos, much less fatalities.
As I’ve elaborated here (and perhaps in previous posts), the chaos—from both the enforcement and the protests against it—stems from an overdue correction of rules that haven’t been followed for YEARS.
Donald Trump ran on it loud and clear in 2024. Mass deportations. “Largest in American history.” “On day one.” “Mass Deportation Now!” signs at rallies. He said it in Ohio, Colorado, New York, Texas—every major stop. Voters heard it. Voters chose it.
Now it’s January 27, 2026. He’s delivering.
STAGE
WHAT HAPPENED / WHAT’S REAL
WHAT THE RESISTANCE HEARS / SAYS
Election Promise (2024)
Trump pledges mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, prioritizing criminals, starting Day 1. Repeated in rallies, platform, speeches.
“Racist fearmongering.” “Impossible.” “Cruel.”
Fulfillment Now (2026)
Over 675,000 removals (official DHS). ~2.2 million self-deportations (estimated due to pressure). Total ~3 million out.
“Chaos.” “Terror.” “Families torn apart.”
Arrest Focus
70% of ICE arrests are criminal illegal aliens (convicted/charged in U.S.). Worst of Worst site spotlights murderers, pedophiles, MS-13, terrorists.
“They’re deporting innocents.” “74% no conviction” (critics cherry-pick detention stats).
Detention
~70,000–73,000 in custody (record high). Surge in officers (12,000 hired).
“Cages.” “Overcrowding.” “Inhumane.”
Approach
Aggressive: raids, home entries (disputed warrants), force when resisted. Legal under Article II—no Article III judge needed for enforcement.
“Gestapo.” “Nazis.” “Siege on communities.”
Cooperation
40+ states, 1,300+ local agreements. Quiet ops where locals help.
“States resisting are protecting rights.”
Escalation
Flashpoints in sanctuary areas (e.g., Twin Cities shootings, protests). Minimal in cooperating states.
“ICE provokes violence.”
Core Truth
Correction for millions let in unchecked (previous admin + pre-existing). Enforcement = force. Rules exist for a reason.
“It’s not a crime.” “They’re just neighbors.” “Compassion over law.”
Bottom line: He promised mass deportations. He’s executing them—efficient, targeted (mostly criminals), aggressive when needed. No polite invitations. No “pretty please.”
Enforcement has “force” in the word. Because rules without teeth are jokes.
One mirror: voters’ choice, promise kept, safety restored. Two images: justice vs. cruelty.
Hate the bang? Blame the dam that broke first. Not the guy fixing it.
Your call: open borders forever, or rules that mean something? Because if it’s rules… law and force shows up. And it doesn’t
