AMERICA UNDER SEIGE

There are an estimated 14 million people living in the United States illegally. The Department of

Homeland Security is touting that they have already deported 2 million illegal immigrants under

the Trump Administration as of September 2025. I’d like to see the receipts on that since ICE

only deported 1.5 million during Trump’s entire first term. I have no objection to deporting

people who are in this country illegally. What I take issue with is the cruelty and lawlessness of

the Trump Administration.

Trump’s stance on immigration is to deport 4 million illegal immigrants in four years. The

Administration’s focus on removing violent criminals by any means necessary has given ICE the

power to use unrestrained force on all illegals violent or otherwise, convicted of a crime or not.

This poorly managed rogue group of agents lawlessly abduct immigrants who are legally here,

those who are American citizens and they are attacking and murdering peaceful protestors who

are bravely documenting ICE’s illegal and forceful methods of treatment in their communities.

A Project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center states, “Our analysis of ICE arrest data obtained

by the Deportation Data Project found a doubling over time of the percentage without criminal

records, meaning neither convictions nor charges. In Trump’s first three months in office,

21.9% of those arrested had no criminal record. The percentage rose to 34.2% in Trump’s

second three months, and then to 40.5% in the three months ending in mid-October. In

January, nearly 43% of those detained had no convictions or charges, according to publicly

available ICE data. Trump did away with all oversight for the Department of Homeland Security

so it’s impossible to believe anything that comes out of the mouth of this Administration.

ICE has become Trump’s private army with license to kill. Kristi Noem and the Trump

Administration continue to justify ICE actions and blame the victims of ICE violence. The Four

American citizens murdered by ICE agents, have not forced this administration to reform this

rogue gang of hostile militants. This administration holds press conferences literally making up

stories about the murders taking place at ICE hands until they are embarrassingly proven wrong

and shown to be outright liars by the public providing video footage proving otherwise. This

empathy void group of ICE agents and their methods of brutality must not be further funded

with our tax dollars. ICE must be shut down.

THE INNOCENT VICTIMS

Keith Porter Jr, a 43-year-old father of two, was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE officer on New

Year’s Eve outside his apartment complex, in Los Angeles (December 2025). There is no video

footage of this murder and no arrest has been made of the ICE agent. Renee Good, a 37-year-

old mother and wife was murdered in Minneapolis by an ICE agent who shot her at point blank

range. This murder was captured on video by numerous eye-witness citizens and the agent’s

own body camera who was also filmed calling her a bitch after firing a shot to her head. Alex

Pretti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse was videotaping Ice Agents as they used force on two women

protestors. As the ICE agents became aggressively physical with the women, Alex placed himself

between the D.H.S. agent and the two female civilians to protect them and all were pepper

sprayed. Alex was forced face down to the ground and eight ICE AGENTS beat him. One ICE

agent discovered Alex was carrying a gun, legally, and it was in its holster. The ICE Agent

removed the gun and two ICE agents fired ten bullets into Alex’s back. Geraldo Lunas

Campos: A 55-year-old Cuban immigrant died in ICE custody at the Camp East Montana facility

in El Paso, Texas, on January 3, 2026. His death was officially ruled a homicide by the El Paso

Medical Examiner, caused by asphyxia due to neck and torso compression during an altercation

with guards.

BILL FY2026 DHS Funding

We have continued to witness countless protesters being dragged from their cars, beaten,

sprayed, bombed with tear gas and seriously injured by ICE agents. This administration not only

condones their behavior, they applaud it. Currently, DHS is spending millions of dollars

purchasing warehouses around the country with the intent to turn them into additional

immigrant detention centers.

The FY2026 DHS Funding Bill is before Congress right now which if passed will give an

additional 6.4 BILLION to Homeland Security for ICE. I for one, do not want my tax dollars

funding ICE. THIS BILL MUST NOT PASS. Please call your representatives who work for you by

the way, not Trump, and demand that this bill not pass. If you don’t, America will continue to

be under siege and the message that you will be sending to Trump is that he can get away with

murder.
