Liberals in Minneapolis, Minnesota, have done something that would make you shake your head if you’ve spent any time serving this nation. They set up roadblocks in their own neighborhoods, checking IDs and watching for “suspicious” vehicles. Why? Because they wanted to stop U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from doing its job—catching and deporting criminal illegal aliens.
Let’s get one thing straight. These same people have spent years protesting against ICE, demanding open borders, and calling anyone who supports border security a racist. But suddenly, when they think their own community might be affected, they’re all about security. They’re even checking IDs, something they normally call “oppressive” or “discriminatory.” The hypocrisy is staggering.
One woman named Kelly Piatt told reporters, “We are literally creating a place that we know who’s coming in and out of our neighborhoods.” Well, isn’t that rich? That’s exactly what Border Patrol and ICE try to do at the national level—but liberals fight them every step of the way. Now, these same people want to enforce their own little borders in the middle of a U.S. city. They don’t want ICE protecting the country, but they’ll stand in the street themselves to keep out people they think might be “hurting their communities.”
It doesn’t get more ironic than that. These activists are now doing exactly what they accuse conservatives and law enforcement of doing—only they’re doing it without any legal authority. They’re setting up illegal checkpoints, blocking roads, and questioning people based on who they are and where they’re from. If a conservative group tried that, the left would lose its mind.
Let’s talk about the real issue here. These people aren’t heroes. They’re not “protecting” their communities. They’re obstructing federal law enforcement. ICE isn’t out there rounding up harmless families. They’re targeting criminals—people who have broken the law and pose a threat to public safety. But instead of helping, these activists are getting in the way.
Tom Homan, former acting ICE director and now serving as Border Czar, got on the phone with the Minneapolis police chief and demanded action. The chief responded by disbanding the roadblocks. That’s exactly what should happen when citizens take the law into their own hands and interfere with federal operations.
The truth is, the left only cares about “rules” when it suits them. They ignore immigration laws, push sanctuary city policies, and demand defunding police. But now that they feel a little uncomfortable, they suddenly care about who’s coming and going. They want fences, ID checks, and neighborhood patrols—but only when they’re the ones in charge.
This is bigger than just a few roadblocks in Minneapolis. It shows what happens when feelings replace facts, and when political agendas get put ahead of national security. These activists don’t care about the law. They care about control. They want to play border patrol in their own neighborhoods, while tying the hands of the real men and women who serve and protect this country.
As someone who wore the uniform and swore an oath to defend our nation, I find it insulting. Law enforcement—especially ICE and Border Patrol—deserve our support, not sabotage. They’re on the front lines dealing with dangerous criminals and protecting our communities. The people in Minneapolis should be thanking them, not blocking their work.
And let’s not forget what this really means. When liberals start acting like border security is a good idea, maybe it’s time they admit that walls work, ID checks matter, and knowing who’s in your country is just plain common sense. It’s what we’ve been saying all along.
If they want to live behind their own fences and check IDs, fine. But don’t stand in the way of the people doing that job for America as a whole.
