• "What's so odd about this is that the detention center is holding criminals. Do they really think ICE is taking in tax paying upstanding citizens? Why would they fight for this? Plenty of presidents have done mass deportations in the past this is nothing new. There is something wrong with these people."
• "I will ask again, since the last election in 2024, what policies do Democrats stand for? Have they try to work together on legislation to lower taxes, prices on commodities, or safety for our children and families? No. The only thing they have been vocal about is protecting the rights of illegal immigrant criminals. It unreal."
• "The question I ask is, if these weren’t politicians, would they be charged, if the answer is yes, you have the next step in the process."
• "First off get the FACTS straight. They were NOT trying to break in. STOP LYING about it!"
• "...It looks like the ICE Agents are the ones doing the assaulting."
