Asst. US Legal professional Bill Essayli’s Good Response to Dem Rep Who Requested Folks to Report ICE Exercise
Democrats have been doing a horrible thing, inciting people on the Left against ICE actions.
As I pointed out earlier, they’re missing (or don’t care) about the very critical point that their actions may be helping criminals, some of whom may be very dangerous people. It also puts the agents and the agitators at risk as well. But all the leftist agitators seem to care about is fighting President Donald Trump. They think they are in the right when, in fact, they couldn’t be more wrong.

Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) was reporting ICE activity and encouraging other people to report their activity to the phone number he posted. That’s trying to help people avoid federal law enforcement.
ALERT: My office has received reports of heavy ICE presence near 12th & Maple in DTLA in the Fashion District. Agents are actively walking the area.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, Bill Esssayli, had a great reply that everyone should take to heart.

Dial away
If everyone calls in and gives all kinds of inaccurate information, it will basically incapacitate that line and foil the agitators. It was clear that many on X intended to do just that.

So Gomez’s effort is going to fail badly, and that phone number is going to be very, very busy.
The Democrats should have just supported the enforcement of the law and actually put the interests of their citizens above their own political agenda and anti-Trump animus.
