Let’s Count the Ways Democrats Are Lying About ICE

In this Federalist article, staff writers dismantle multiple Democratic claims about ICE enforcement, exposing falsehoods used to undermine border security and law enforcement under the Trump administration.

• Democrats falsely equate ICE with “Gestapo tactics,” ignoring that agents target criminals and deportations follow due process, not random raids on law-abiding families.
• Claims of “family separations” ignore that illegal immigrants choose to bring children into risky situations, while U.S. law requires detention of adults pending proceedings.
• Assertions that ICE operations terrorize communities overlook the public safety benefits of removing criminal illegal aliens, as crime data shows disproportionate involvement in certain offenses.
• Democrats’ portrayal of ICE as “inhumane” ignores the agency’s role in combating human trafficking, drug smuggling, and national security threats enabled by open-border policies.
• The rhetoric serves political purposes to shield sanctuary policies and obstruct enforcement, despite overwhelming public support for secure borders and legal immigration.
