Let’s talk about the fantasy world progressive politicians want you to believe in. It’s a place where consequences don’t exist, and they’re gaslighting you on a city-wide scale, telling you that rampant crime is a fiction. They insist the decay of once-great American cities is actually a sign of enlightened progress. It’s a bizarre, upside-down reality where law enforcement is the villain and lawlessness is just another form of righteous expression.
This deliberate war on truth creates a vacuum of authority, and that vacuum is being filled by people who hold our country in contempt. When a government abandons its most fundamental duty—to protect its people and enforce its laws—it hangs a giant “Welcome” sign for the world’s worst elements. This isn’t just a failure of policy; it is a blatant invitation to chaos.
From Daily Wire:
A group of four illegal immigrants was arrested after one allegedly pointed a laser at a Customs and Border Protection helicopter flying over Portland, Oregon, according to the FBI.
The illegal immigrant accused of pointing the laser targeted the CBP helicopter along with other law enforcement aircraft patrolling the city on Saturday, the FBI said.
“Come after law enforcement officers and this FBI will put you away,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X in response to the incident.
Anarchy in the Rose City
For anyone with their eyes open, this incident is entirely predictable. It’s the rotten fruit of the managed decline that Portland’s leadership has cultivated for years. The city has become a national embarrassment, a playground for far-left extremists where Antifa mobs lay siege to federal buildings and attack ICE facilities with zero repercussions. It is in this cauldron of institutionalized anarchy that a brazen attack on a federal aircraft could even be imagined.
Yet, as President Trump took decisive action to authorize troops to protect federal officers and property, Oregon’s Democratic governor, Tina Kotek, chose to bury her head in the sand. She actually claimed there is “no insurrection or threat to public safety,” and then filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to stop the intervention—because of course she did. She is more invested in fighting the President than in fighting the criminals overrunning her state.
The Face of an Open Border
The identities of the men arrested demolish the entire fantasy of the Left’s open-border agenda. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the four men—Diogenes Albores-Suchiapa, Andres Brian Lopez-Labra, Benito Zamora-Alvarez, and Hector Miranda Mendoza—are all Mexican nationals living here illegally. This wasn’t a desperate plea from asylum seekers; it was a criminal assault by men who spit on the very concept of American law.
But here’s the kicker: this wasn’t their first rodeo with American law enforcement. Albores-Suchiapa had prior arrests for meth possession and trespassing. Lopez-Labra had been busted for DUI. These aren’t just “undocumented immigrants.” They are repeat offenders who exploited our porous border and were then given safe harbor in a city that prizes criminals over its own citizens.
A Tale of Two Responses
The contrast in leadership is blinding. On one side, you have President Trump and an FBI that sees a threat and neutralizes it. On the other, you have Governor Kotek, who sees the same threat and sues the people trying to solve it. Her actions are a profound betrayal of her office.
The danger these men posed is severe. The Federal Aviation Administration notes there were over 12,840 laser strikes on aircraft reported in 2024. This isn’t a prank; it’s a potentially lethal attack. For the governor to look at this cesspool of criminality and call it “safe” isn’t just a dereliction of duty—it’s an insult to every law-abiding citizen in her state.
The laser beam that cut through the Portland sky is the perfect symbol of the Left’s entire political project: a disorienting light of chaos from a city whose leaders willfully choose to see nothing. They would rather let their cities burn than admit their ideology is a catastrophic failure. This incident is a grave warning that when leaders choose fantasy over reality, real Americans pay the price.
Key Takeaways
- Lax border policies directly result in dangerous criminals entering our cities.
- Democrat-run sanctuary cities actively shield criminals from law enforcement.
- President Trump is taking decisive action to restore law and order.
- The threat to federal officers is escalating due to failed liberal governance.
