January 1, Trump Era Faces Rise of Radical Domestic Threats

Wyatt’s Take

• Paid agitators and political allies driving lawlessness still operate in secret.
• Attacks on ICE and law enforcement are organized, not spontaneous.
• Politicians backing radicals shield them from justice, endangering Americans.

After a year of Trump back in office, many are stunned by how little we know about violent groups targeting law enforcement. There’s major concern over when those funding and protecting these agitators will actually face real justice.

ICE agent’s deadly encounter with left-wing radical Renee Nicole Good has been widely viewed, showing officers acted to defend innocent lives.

Good belonged to an organized cell called “ICE Watch,” trained to disrupt officers enforcing immigration law. Why is law enforcement just now revealing these extremist groups, and why the lack of arrests?

Vice President J.D. Vance addressed this, saying:

“What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America. What that headline leaves out is that that woman … is part of a broader left-wing network to attack, to doxx, to assault, and to make it impossible for our ICE officers to do their job,” he said.

“It’s a tragedy of the making of the far left. They have radicalized a very small segment of the population, taught them that ICE agents are engaging in wide-scale violation of people’s rights.”

Despite claims Good was an innocent mother, the facts show she intended to block ICE as part of her radical duties. This coordination signals something deeper, as Vance argued.

He questioned how a young mom ends up ramming law enforcement.

“To get to that point, you have to be, I think, radicalized in a very, very sad way.”

Thousands fit this profile, risking everything with disregard for duty or country.

Crowds in Foley Square yelled threats at Kristi Noem and ICE officers.

“Kristi Noem will hang.”

“Save a life, kill an ICE.”

Even with growing radical activity, there’s no sign of urgency in stopping it. When asked who funds these agitators, Vance replied:

“When somebody throws a brick at an ICE agent, or somebody tries to run over an ICE agent, who paid for the brick and who told protesters to show up and engage in violent activity against our law enforcement officers?… There’s an entire network, and frankly some of the media are participating in it, that is trying to incite violence against our law enforcement officers. It’s ridiculous. It’s preposterous, and part of our investigatory work is getting to the bottom of it. Who’s funding it? Who’s supporting it? Who’s cheerleading it? And of course, if there’s illegal activity related to that, we’re gonna get to the bottom of that and prosecute it where we can.”

Since Trump’s return, the number of attacks on federal officers has topped 100. Organized funding and political cover have existed for years, undermining law and order across the country.

Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner openly threatened ICE with criminal charges, saying:

“If any law enforcement agent, any ICE agent is gonna come to Philly to commit crimes, then you can get the F out of here.”

“I will charge you with those crimes. You will be arrested. You will stand trial. You will be convicted. Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me, ICE agents?”

If those threats turn to action, it’s an insurrection against federal authority and law enforcement.

Keep up with the facts that matter for real Americans.

Heartland families deserve safe neighborhoods and honest law enforcement. Left unchecked, organized political violence threatens the peace and security everyday folks count on—and that’s something we can’t afford to ignore.
