Let me tell you what’s really happening while the media obsesses over protests and chaos. Regular Americans—the ones who go to work, pay their taxes, and play by the rules—are done watching their communities fall apart. Ever wonder what these people do when they’ve had enough? They don’t riot. They don’t burn things down. They step up and serve.

Here’s what blows my mind: While liberal cities struggle with rising crime and violent protests, a huge change is quietly happening across America. Fed up with rules that protect criminals over citizens, ordinary Americans are taking action—not through protests or Twitter rants, but through something way more powerful: actually doing something about it.

The response? Absolutely incredible. More than 150,000 patriotic Americans have applied to join Immigration and Customs Enforcement (and trust me, these numbers are real). Think about that for a second. That’s 150,000 regular people saying “enough is enough.” These aren’t career politicians or activists—they’re veterans, teachers, small business owners, and parents who’ve watched their neighborhoods go downhill under failed sanctuary policies.

“Americans are answering their country’s call to serve and help remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, terrorists, and gang members from our country,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Tuesday. The agency has already made 18,000 job offers. Let that sink in—applications are coming in faster than they can process them.

Criminals in the Crosshairs

The timing couldn’t be better. While anti-ICE protests turned violent in 19 states over the summer, criminal illegal immigrants have been made brave by sanctuary policies. These policies literally shield them from federal law enforcement. You can’t make this stuff up.

Operation Midway Blitz in Chicago? It specifically targets criminals who “flocked” to Illinois. Why? Because they knew Governor Pritzker’s sanctuary policies would protect them. Think about that—criminals actually choosing where to go based on which states won’t prosecute them.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

ICE has received more than 150,000 applications from patriotic Americans who want to defend the homeland by removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens from the U.S. We have already issued more than 18,000 tentative job offers. Americans are answering their country’s call to serve and help remove murderers, pedophiles, rapists, terrorists, and gang members from our country.

These aren’t random immigration sweeps. They’re targeted raids going after the most dangerous criminals. The same ones sanctuary cities refuse to deal with. The $75 billion funding boost? That includes $30 billion just for arrests and deportations. Finally, these new recruits will have what they need to succeed where local politicians have failed.

Building America’s Defense

Here’s the kicker: The recruitment surge includes thousands of former officers who quit during the Biden years. They’re coming back through something called “Operation Return to Mission.” We’re talking six-figure salaries and $50,000 signing bonuses. They even lifted age restrictions so more experienced Americans can join.

But you know what? This isn’t just about jobs. It’s about Americans taking back control of their communities. These 150,000 applications? They’re basically a giant middle finger to sanctuary state policies.

While protesters destroy property and attack cops, these citizens chose a different path. They chose to actually protect their neighbors from violent criminals. The same criminals that sanctuary states welcome with open arms. Let me ask you something—which approach do you think actually makes communities safer?

This is how real change happens in America. Not through burning down your own neighborhood. Not through screaming at the sky. But through regular people answering the call when their country needs them. And right now, with sanctuary cities putting criminals first and citizens last, America needs them more than ever.
