For years, California’s radical politicians have turned the Golden State into a sanctuary for lawlessness. Federal immigration laws are openly defied. American citizens pay the price. The state that once symbolized the American Dream? It’s now ground zero for undermining our national sovereignty.
Something just shifted big time in this battle between federal law enforcement and California’s resistance movement. And here’s the thing—the reaction from the state’s Democratic leadership tells you everything about who’s winning.
Let me tell you what just happened that has them losing their minds. The Supreme Court handed down a decision Monday that sent California Democrats into complete meltdown mode. The nation’s highest court lifted restrictions that had prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from doing their job in Los Angeles. The ruling lets ICE resume immigration enforcement sweeps that a lower court had blocked.
The Democratic response was totally crazy. Governor Gavin Newsom actually called the Supreme Court “the Grand Marshal for a parade of racial terror in Los Angeles.” Racial terror? Really? Is this guy for real? Mayor Karen Bass wasn’t far behind. She declared the ruling “not only dangerous” but “un-American.”
The Usual Suspects React Predictably
When you see this level of coordinated outrage from the left’s power players, you know something important just happened. The American Civil Liberties Union called it “outrageous.” Justice Sonia Sotomayor penned a dissent that sounded more like a Democratic Party press release than a legal opinion. She claimed “we should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino.”
I had to read these reactions three times. These people actually said this stuff out loud.
From ‘Daily Wire’:
“Reactions to SCOTUS allowing immigration sweeps to restart in LA: Mayor Bass: ‘Today’s ruling is not only dangerous, it’s un-American.’ Gov. Newsom: ‘Trump’s hand-picked SCOTUS majority just became the Grand Marshal for a parade of racial terror in LA.’ ACLU: ‘Outrageous.’ Newsom’s full statement went a bit further, claiming that the Trump administration planned to hunt down anyone who looked Latino: ‘Every person is now a target.'”
But here’s what these politicians don’t want you to know. Los Angeles has become completely overwhelmed by illegal immigration. According to government estimates in Justice Kavanaugh’s concurring opinion, about 2 million illegal immigrants live in the LA area. That’s 10% of the entire population. Now, I’m no math genius, but 2 million illegal immigrants in one city? That’s not immigration—that’s an invasion.
Facts Don’t Care About Feelings
While Democrats throw around terms like “racial terror” and claim “every person is now a target,” the reality is way different. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem made it clear. Her department will “continue our operations in LA to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens that pose a danger to public safety.”
Think about that for a second. We’re talking about removing dangerous criminals. And Democrats are calling it racial terror?
This isn’t about random harassment. It’s about enforcing federal law that these California politicians have been blocking on purpose. The Immigration and Nationality Act has let officers question people about their immigration status for decades. This isn’t new. It’s just being enforced again after activist judges tried to stop it.
President Trump himself defended the operations. He told a religious liberty event Monday, “We saved Los Angeles. Los Angeles was a mess. If we didn’t send our troops in, Gavin would have had a real problem.” Meanwhile, the Republican Party of Los Angeles celebrated with a simple truth: “Federal law will be enforced in Los Angeles. We will have safety again.”
The Real Tell
What’s most revealing about this whole thing? How completely nuts the Democratic response has been. Representative Jimmy Gomez claimed that “speaking Spanish or simply looking Latino is now enough for ICE to pull you off the street.” Representative Linda Sánchez called it a “green light for more ‘roving raids’ targeting Latino communities.” Even Senator Adam Schiff managed to work in a reference to “dictatorship.”
The Supreme Court’s decision isn’t radical. You know what’s radical? California’s years-long defiance of federal immigration law. What’s really “un-American” isn’t enforcing our borders. It’s elected officials who swore to uphold the Constitution actively working to destroy it. When Governor Newsom calls this “racial terror,” he’s not just being over the top. He’s showing his contempt for the rule of law itself.
The triggered reactions from California’s political elite prove one thing for sure: the Supreme Court got this one exactly right. When the defenders of lawlessness scream this loudly, you know law and order just scored a major victory. And for the millions of Americans who believe in secure borders and the rule of law? That’s something worth celebrating.
