There’s a moral sickness spreading through America’s liberal-run cities, an upside-down reality where right and wrong are twisted beyond recognition. You’ve seen it, too. It’s a world where criminals are coddled, illegal immigrants are shielded, and the simple act of securing our border is somehow called hateful.
This poisonous ideology deliberately paints our nation’s heroes as villains, making dedicated law enforcement officers the targets of rage and violence. In this warped new America, anarchy gets a rebrand as “social justice,” and any attempt to enforce the law is met with an organized tantrum. A recent firestorm in Minneapolis is the perfect, terrifying example of how deep this rot has set in.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted a “How To” graphic on how to avoid Immigration and Customs Enforcement, following the fatal shooting of an armed anti-ICE agitator during a federal operation in Minneapolis over the weekend…
The post came as new details emerged about Saturday morning’s deadly confrontation, which occurred during a targeted enforcement operation by US Border Patrol agents. Authorities said the operation was aimed at arresting Jose Huerta Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal history that includes domestic assault, disorderly conduct, and driving without a valid license.

Hegseth States the Obvious Truth
Instead of issuing pathetic condolences for a lawbreaker, Secretary Hegseth dropped a simple, devastatingly effective graphic on social media titled “How To Avoid ICE.” It contained three rules so obvious that a child could understand them:
- Don’t be here illegally.
- Don’t attack I.C.E. officers.
- Obey federal and state laws.
This is the kind of crisp, moral clarity our nation has been starved of. With just 14 words, Hegseth obliterated the entire leftist argument, exposing the sheer insanity of defending someone who flagrantly violated all three. He then doubled down, tweeting his unwavering support: “Thank God for the patriots of @ICEgov — we have your back 100%. You are SAVING the country.”
A Justified Action, Not a Peaceful Protest
The facts of the Minneapolis operation don’t just support Hegseth’s position; they prove it was the only sane one to have. The agents weren’t on a random raid; they were targeting Jose Huerta Chuma, an illegal immigrant with a criminal rap sheet that included domestic assault. This was about public safety, period.
The man who was killed, Alex Pretti, was no peaceful protester exercising his rights. He was an armed agitator who deliberately charged into a federal operation with a semi-automatic handgun and extra ammo. When officers moved to disarm him, he fought back violently. As Chief Bovino stated, it looked like a situation where Pretti “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”Massacre. That is the person the Left has chosen as their new hero.
The Left’s Predictable Embrace of Chaos
The mayhem didn’t end when Pretti was stopped. And right on cue, as predictable as the sunrise, the anti-American Left mobilized its foot soldiers. Shortly after the shooting, a mob of 200 rioters descended on the scene. They weren’t there to mourn; they were there to “obstruct and assault law enforcement.”
This is the endgame of the Left’s open-borders, defund-the-police fantasy. They’ve created a toxic culture in places like Minneapolis, where citizens are taught to view law enforcement as the enemy and criminals as a protected species. When federal agents show up to do their job, the mob is unleashed.
In this fight for our nation’s soul, we need more leaders with the steel spine of Pete Hegseth. We need patriots who speak plain truth and stand with the brave men and women risking everything to uphold our laws. The choice couldn’t be clearer: the rule of law defended by proud Americans, or the rule of the mob fueled by woke ideology. There is no in-between.
Key Takeaways
- Secretary Hegseth’s simple rules expose the absurdity of the Left’s pro-criminal agenda.
- The agitator killed in Minneapolis was heavily armed and was attacking federal agents.
- ICE was targeting a known criminal alien with a history of domestic assault, making the community safer.
- The subsequent mob action proves the Left’s true goal is anarchy, not justice.
