Immigration vs. I.C.E.


“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

What you see above is what is at the base of the Statue of Liberty. I have a hard time believing Pres. Donald Trump and everyone in I.C.E. has ever read these words.

4. Fourth Amendment – Search and Seizure

Constitution Amendment number 4. Protects against unreasonable searches and seizures; requires warrants based on probable cause. (the legal standard is that either a person is in the act of criminal activity, or, being in this country illegally and identified as a dangerous person, he must be removed. It also calls for a warrant for the arrest of that particular person along with what he is charged with). These provision were put in place to protect everyone. No where in the Constitution does it say that these Amendment only apply to U.S. Citizens.

6. Sixth Amendment – Criminal Prosecutions

Ensures the right to a speedy and public trial, impartial jury, confrontation of witnesses, and legal counsel.

We know for fact that these trials, which would be immigration courts, are not happening. Donald Trump has weaponized both the Dept. of Homeland Security, which I.C.E. falls under, and the Justice Department, whose job it is to oversee how justice is being carried out and preserve all right under our sacred Constitution.

We now live under a leader who would not mind being called “king.” To be sure, he is a fascist. Trump consistently claims he does not have any party affiliation. huh?

Today, September 21, 2026, a Venezuelan man was shot in the back for I.C.E. officers while he was delivering food. He has no criminal record and was here legally using the threat of death in his own country for his reason to be here, legally. I.C.E. is now akin to the Gestapo in Hitler’s regime dragging and killing people without fear of being held accountable for their actions.

Just to put a point of Trump’s attack on our Constitution, he has barred three news networks from the White House. This is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment which guantees freedom of the press. It is the first amendment for a reason. Even at the birth of America, it was very clear to the men of that day that the ability to observe and report on all activities must be sacred. These things were not allow under colonial rule.

The only thing we can do is to write, and/or, call out U.S. Representative and our Senators and complain about how our rights are being stripped, and that we cannot count on the Justice Department to do its job.

Is Trump Showing Signs of Alzheimer’s?


I am going to answer that question right now. A resounding yes!

Trump is angry that the Nobel Committee did not consider him for the Nobel Peace Prize claiming that he ended four wars. I can give him credit for what happened in Israel but what are the other three? There is only one other that I know of and that is Ukraine and he has abandoned them in favor of Russia and Putin in particular. Putin is an enemy of the state but don’t tell Trump that he is wrong in his bromance with Putin. Poland in particular is very wary of Russia as are Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, the Baltic countries. They are our allies but Trump does not care, possibly because they are such small countries.

Yesterday, January 20, 2026, Trump rambled on for a two-hour press conference. From the beginning he was making up things as he went along. But he has always done that so what is different now? He showed a large number of photographs purportedly of criminals who have been captured, I’m not but I am guessing there because, again, he did not say who they were relative to ICE. Humorously, as he kept saying, “these are very bad people,” there were several who had a domestic violence against them. They are bad people but not the “worst of the worst” as Trump loves to claim.

First, the insane idea that he will take Greenland by force if necessary. His claim is that Chinese and Russian war-ships are traveling past nothern Greenland. But reports from reliable sources say that this just is not true. In fact, the Chinese have not been sighted in the entire Atlantic Ocean. But he is using this claim as the reason he must have the U.S. own Greenland. The truth is, if we want to build another military base in Greenland, the people of Greenland will be happy to have that. Furthermore, Trump has claimed that Greenland only became owned by Denmark after World War 2. Another fabrication. The fact is, Greenland has be a part of Denmark since the year 986.

Now Trump wants to put a 25% tarrif on many western European countries because they are not doing his bidding, or so he claims. He has single handedly alienated our allies! These are countries that are a part of NATO just as we are. But Trump wants to end NATO too. Why?

In his 2-hour ramble at the press conference, as shown above, he also brought out a thick bunch of paper claiming that it show everything he has accomplished. I bet if you could get a copy of what is on those pages, you would find that it is not more than a bunch of claims Trump is making without proof, of course.

Trump has weaponized the Justice Department to go after people who he does not like. In his sites right now are the Governor of Minnesota, and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul. He says they are actively recruiting people to demonstrate against ICE. Actually, if they were doing that, and they are not, it is not illegal. Trump also claims that the protesters are being paid. He shows not proof to back up what he is saying except to say, “everyone knows.” That will not stand up in a court of law.

Our do-nothing House of Representatives lack the spine to stand up to him and say, “enough is enough.” They are so afraid of Trump being angry with them that they fail to realize that they serve the people and not the Executive branch, Trump. The man has gone off the rails but Republicans are hiding from the truth, a truth that is being exposed and which the American public will show in the mid-term elections as-well-as the 2028 elections.

Trump is the
