The Trump Administration has been cracking down on illegal immigration since Day One.
But some Democrat politicians are actively working to sabotage law enforcement.
And one Democrat mayor made a dangerous move that put ICE officers in harm’s way.
Pennsylvania mayor warns illegal aliens about ICE operations
President Donald Trump promised to secure America’s borders and deport criminal illegal aliens.
His administration has wasted no time delivering on that promise with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducting operations across the country.
But Democrat politicians in sanctuary cities and states are doing everything they can to obstruct federal immigration enforcement.
Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania Mayor Dontae Comans became the latest Democrat official to actively interfere with ICE operations.
Comans took to Facebook to warn illegal aliens in his community about federal agents conducting enforcement operations in the area.
“URGENT COMMUNITY ALERT: ICE Activity Reported in Wilkinsburg Area,” Comans wrote on his Facebook page. “We have confirmed reports that ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents are active in our community. Specifically, they’ve been seen around Penn Avenue and Wood Street in Wilkinsburg.”
The mayor even went so far as to describe the vehicle that ICE agents were allegedly operating from.
This gave criminal illegal aliens advance warning to flee the area before they could be arrested and deported.
White House calls out mayor for endangering federal agents
The Trump White House’s official “Rapid Response” account blasted Mayor Comans for his reckless actions.
“Mayor Dontae Comans took to Facebook to warn criminal illegals of ICE operations — jeopardizing officers’ safety and pleading ‘to help’ illegals evade arrest,” the White House account posted on X.
The post included a video clip from CBS News Pittsburgh showing an interview with the mayor.
When asked by CBS affiliate KDKA reporter Mamie Bah about his decision to warn illegal aliens, Comans defended his actions.
“Everyone here is you know, we’re family in Wilkinsburg and we just want to protect each other,” Comans told the reporter. “We have ordinances that protect everyone no matter what part of life you’re from.”
The reporter pressed him further, asking, “What do you say to people who say you shouldn’t be here illegally?”
Comans doubled down on his support for illegal aliens.
“That’s how this country started,” Comans replied. “It’s all about getting that path to being a resident, and I feel like we need to help them.”
Americans demand accountability for obstruction of justice
Social media users were outraged by Mayor Comans’ actions and called for him to face consequences.
Many pointed out that warning criminals about law enforcement operations puts federal agents at risk and helps dangerous individuals evade justice.
“This action taken by the mayor is TREASON! Why are acts of treason no longer a punishable offense?” one X user wrote in response to the White House post.
By alerting illegal aliens to ICE operations, Comans gave criminals time to escape or potentially set up ambushes for federal agents.
This type of interference with federal law enforcement operations has become a common tactic among Democrat politicians who prioritize protecting illegal aliens over American citizens.
Democrat obstruction undermines immigration enforcement
Mayor Comans’ actions represent a broader pattern of Democrat resistance to Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda.
Since taking office, President Trump has made it clear that his administration will enforce immigration laws and remove criminal illegal aliens from American communities.
But Democrat mayors and governors continue to implement sanctuary policies that shield illegal aliens from federal authorities.
These policies not only undermine the rule of law but also endanger the safety of ICE agents who are simply doing their jobs.
When local officials tip off criminals about law enforcement operations, they create dangerous situations for federal agents and allow dangerous individuals to remain in American communities.
The Trump Administration has made it a priority to crack down on sanctuary jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
Mayor Comans’ decision to actively warn illegal aliens about ICE operations goes beyond mere non-cooperation and crosses the line into active obstruction of justice.
Americans elected Donald Trump to secure the border and remove criminal illegal aliens from their communities.
Democrat politicians like Mayor Comans are working to sabotage those efforts at every turn.
But the Trump Administration won’t be deterred by local obstruction and will continue enforcing immigration laws to keep Americans safe.
