Democrats Attacking Federal Law Enforcement Are the New Confederacy

... the Trump administration is on the side of the law, the precedent, and the Constitution, whereas leaders like Mayor Johnson are flirting with the side previously filled by past Democrat insurrectionists...

In 1861, as southern Democrat leaders agitated for war against the Union, President Lincoln sent supplies to the federal Fort Sumter. South Carolinians, roused by Democrat leaders who called for violent resistance against this legitimate federal action, attacked the fort and started the Civil War...

The Democrats who attacked Fort Sumter in 1861... and the Democrats who are besieging federal law enforcement facilities in 2025 all have the same underlying belief: the powers delegated to the federal government by the Constitution can be ignored to suit their political purposes...

Take 1957, when Arkansas’s Democrat Governor Orval Faubus refused to follow a federal order requiring the admission of black students to Little Rock’s Central High School. President Eisenhower responded by federalizing the Arkansas National Guard and sending an additional 1,000 troops to Little Rock, who maintained order in the city and protected the students as they attended Central High. Or look at 1963, when Alabama’s Democrat Governor George Wallace infamously “stood in the schoolhouse door” to prevent two black students from enrolling in the University of Alabama. President Kennedy responded by federalizing the National Guard and sending additional federal troops to Alabama, overcoming Wallace’s illegal resistance to federal law...

President Donald Trump, like Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Kennedy before him, is in the moral and legal right when it comes to federal authority...

Democrat officials wish to portray ICE agents as rogue invaders, just as Governor Faubus assailed the “police state” “military occupation” of Little Rock. It was false when Governor Faubus said it then, and it is patently false when Democrats say it now...

ICE has the authority to execute federal law in the entire country, with no approval from state or local authorities needed. The Supreme Court made this clear as far back as 1890, with the case In re Neagle...

The Supreme Court has repeatedly recognized that the Constitution gives the federal government exclusive authority over immigration law...

As Victor Davis Hanson writes: "America for almost 200 years has already decided, in formal law and court rulings, that no local or state entity can disrupt the enforcement of federal laws or usurp Washington’s powers. To do so with impunity would unravel the American nation in short order. […] It is hard to know which is worse - the Antifa thug who nightly tries to injure a federal officer, or the sanctimonious neo-Confederate official who empowers him to keep trying."...

Will the Civil War Start in California, Chicago or New York?
