Former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley on Sunday condemned prominent
Democrats for staying mum after protesters demonstrating outside a U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility last week pulled down
the American flag and flew the flag of Mexico in its place.

Crews in Aurora, Colorado, restored the American flag Friday evening. The
protesters also removed a "Blue Lives Matter" flag, honoring law
enforcement, spray-painted it with the words "Abolish ICE," then raised
the flag upside-down, on a pole next to the Mexican flag, local media
reported.

"There are no words for why the Democrats are staying silent on this,"
Haley wrote. "If this is your way to winning an election, fire your
strategist. This is disgusting. Love your country. And if you don’t like
what is happening then tell the members of Congress to get to work and fix
it."

Fox News' Leland Vittert asked former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a
2020 White House contender, on Sunday whether the protesters should be
condemned, but Hickenlooper, a Democrat, largely dodged the issue.

"Well, I certainly respect the American flag, and my whole life I've been
fighting to make this country -- and to make sure this country welcomes
everybody, and that this flag represents everyone," Hickenlooper responded
on "America's News HQ."

"You know I'm old enough, I remember when people were burning the flag in
protest of the Vietnam War," he continued. "The amazing thing about this
country is we're really one of the few places on Earth where that level of
freedom of speech is still protected. "I might not approve of it, but I
think that freedom is something that we as Americans should recognize and
say, hey, that's part of our core freedom."

Vittert pressed: "Are you willing to say that doing that, and ripping down
the American flag over a faciltiy and running up the Mexican flag, is
wrong, doesn't send the right message, isn't going to unite us, which you
say is so important?"

"I think there are better ways to unite us," Hickenlooper said, prompting
Vittert to laugh. "There's no question about that."

On Saturday, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said "every" Democrat in the 2020
presidential race "should be asked" about the situation.

ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS PULL DOWN AMERICAN FLAG, RAISE MEXICAN FLAG, VANDALIZE
'BLUE LIVES MATTER' FLAG

Cruz suggested that Democrats would want to grandstand and "virtue signal"
on the issue, but implied they would be fearful of the reaction from
moderate voters.

@tedcruz
The predictable result of the 2020 Dems’ radical open borders policies.
Every Dem presidential candidate should be asked the hard Q: “Do you agree
w/ the ICE protestors taking down the American flag & replacing it with a
Mexican flag?” They’ll want to virtue-signal “yes,” but....

The Colorado protest, part of a network of #LightsForLiberty events, also
dubbed the “March to Close Concentration Camps,” called for detention
centers at the U.S.-Mexico border to be closed and for all immigrants
being held in those locations to be granted entry to the U.S., according
to the event’s Facebook page.

DEPORTATIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WITH FINAL REMOVAL ORDERS HAS BEGUN,
OFFICIAL SAYS

The developments have come amid a fevered national debate on illegal
immigration policy, as a growing humanitarian crisis at the border has
continued to unfold. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and other top
Democrats in the 2020 White House race have pushed to decriminalize border
crossings and avoid deporting illegal immigrants already in the U.S. --
prompting even some progressives to voice concerns.

"I have previously criticized Republicans who accused liberals of wanting
'open borders,'" wrote Kevin Drum, a blogger at the left-wing Mother
Jones. "President Trump tweets about this endlessly. But I have to admit
that it’s hard to see much daylight between Warren’s plan and de facto
open borders."

"Are Democrats now the party of open borders?" Drum asked in the article
posted to Mother Jones this past Friday.

Meantime, police in Washington state said an armed man was shot and killed
early Saturday while trying to attack a local ICE detention center. The
Seattle Times reported that the unidentified man appeared outside of the
Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma with a rifle and threw incendiary
devices at both the facility and nearby propane tanks, at one point
setting a vehicle on fire.

Officers responded to the apparent domestic terrorism incident around 4
a.m. and called out to the man before shots were fired.

In an official statement posted on Facebook, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, a
Democrat, began by faulting Trump's immigration policies before he broadly
condemned violence.

“Along with many Americans, I object with every fiber of my being to
Donald Trump’s inhumane treatment of immigrants in America,” Inslee wrote.
“But if today’s attack was motivated by opposition to the federal
government’s actions, it was totally unacceptable. Violence is not
acceptable. Our democracy is strong and we are a resilient people. But it
is, again, unacceptable to turn to violence… We must be better than that
and find non-violent ways of pursuing the better world we want, as many
groups are doing.”

ICE, meanwhile, resumed its previously announced plan to apprehend
thousands of illegal immigrants who've been given orders to leave the
country, targeting people in at least 10 cities. The ICE raids began late
Saturday and into the early morning hours on Sunday in "a number of
jurisdictions," not just New York City, a senior administration official
confirmed to Fox News.

In an exclusive interview on "FOX & friends," Acting ICE Director Matt
Albence said while he couldn't speak to anything specifically from an
operational perspective, the overarching concern when the agency conducts
any sort of enforcement operation is "the safety and security of both our
officers that are conducting the operation as well as the public."

"We are doing targeted enforcement actions against specific individuals
who have had their day in immigration court and have been ordered to be
removed by an immigration judge," Albence told Fox News’ Griff Jenkins.
"We are merely executing those lawfully issued judge's orders."

Albence, who said using the term "raid" did everyone "a disservice," added
the agency was focusing on people who'd had the opportunity to claim
asylum in court and chose not to do so or didn't appear for their first
hearings. The acting director added that ICE gave those individuals the
opportunity back in February to arrange for an orderly process to be
removed from the country, but only 3 percent of people responded to
letters that were sent out.

"At this point," Albence said, "we have no choice but to go out and
execute those lawfully-issued removal orders from an immigration judge."

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
