There is a line that separates order from chaos, safety from danger, and right from wrong. That line is drawn by law and enforced by those brave enough to stand on the front lines. In the America we know and love, we count on our law enforcement officers to guard our communities and protect our children.
The latest roundup by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is a clear example of what enforcing immigration policy can achieve. Under the “Worst of the Worst” initiative, ICE has been going after the most dangerous illegal aliens in our country—people who should never have been allowed to set foot on American soil in the first place. This is not a matter of politics. This is a matter of protecting our families and our way of life.
Among those arrested were convicted sex offenders and violent criminals—men who had harmed children, broken into homes, and even taken lives. One man from Mexico was convicted of lewd acts with a child under 14. Another, from Vietnam, had a rap sheet that included manslaughter, burglary, and robbery. These are not harmless individuals. These are predators. And thanks to ICE, they are now off our streets.
Meet the worst of the worst ICE removed from our communities this week. Remember Democrats are marching to keep these men in our neighborhoods.
Meet Jose Guzman of Mexico. Guzman was previously convicted of lewd of lascivious acts with a child under 14-years-old.
Then there’s Jose Marco Hernandez of El Salvador. Hernandez was previously convicted of a third-degree sex offense.
Kha Ngoc Le of Vietnam was previously convicted for voluntary manslaughter, burglary, robbery, and reckless conduct.
Hector Gamez-Perdomo of Honduras was previously convicted for breaking and entering.
Julio Tenorio-Drag of Peru was previously convicted of burglary.
Sanctuary cities across the nation continue to tie the hands of law enforcement. These cities refuse to cooperate with ICE, refusing to share information or alert agents when dangerous criminals are about to be released from jail. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin put it plainly: these policies are putting innocent Americans in harm’s way.
Let us be clear—there is no excuse for shielding criminals from justice. When a city chooses to protect a convicted sex offender over the safety of its own children, it is no longer serving the people. It is serving a radical agenda. Sanctuary policies are not about compassion. They are about lawlessness.
The Trump administration has made it a priority to restore order and security in our communities. That is not hateful. It is just common sense. A nation that does not enforce its laws is not a nation at all. And when the law is ignored, it is the law-abiding citizen—the mother, the father, the child—who pays the price.
We must stand with our ICE officers, who put on the badge every day knowing they may face violence and hostility—not just from criminals, but from politicians and activists who want to see them fail. These officers are heroes. They deserve our thanks, our prayers, and our full support.
It is time for every American to ask a simple question: What kind of country do we want to live in? One where criminals are let loose in the name of political correctness? Or one where the law is upheld, families are protected, and justice is served?
We cannot remain silent while others try to tear down the foundations of our society. We must speak up for law and order. We must defend the brave men and women of ICE. And we must demand that our leaders put the safety of American citizens above the comfort of foreign criminals.
This is not just about immigration. This is about the soul of our nation. With President Trump back in the White House, we have a chance to set things right. Let us not waste it. Let us return to the values that made this country strong—faith, family, and the rule of law.
