ADVICE

Honor ICE Detainers And Coordinate With Local Law Enforcement

Ferguson recommends enforcing ICE detainers and honoring federal-local cooperation to prevent sanctuary jurisdictions from releasing migrants wanted by ICE.
He explains detainers ask local law enforcement to hold an arrested illegal immigrant so ICE can take custody, contrasting sanctuary policies that block notification.

ANECDOTE

On Thursday’s Mark Levin Show, WREC’s Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. A recent poll revealed strong public support for strict immigration enforcement despite media and Democratic opposition. 57% of Americans favor deporting all illegal immigrants, including 79% of Republicans, 54% of independents, and a notable 35% of Democrats. The poll underscores that Americans prioritize a secure border, law and order, and reducing the impacts of illegal immigration on jobs, housing costs, and public resources. This is as evidence that Democratic and media efforts to portray enforcement actions inhumane have failed. President Trump has a clear mandate for to continue border security and deportation policies. Also, American forces have now sunk or destroyed over 30 Iranian ships and over 200 targets have been struck in 72 hours. The U.S. is systematically dismantling Iran's ballistic missile production capabilities and has already destroyed much of their air defenses, while Iran's ballistic missile attacks have dropped 90% and drone attacks 83% since the operation began, leaving Iran in panic mode. Trump's military strike on Iran has delivered a significant economic blow to China by disrupting its critical oil supplies. Almost all of Iran's exported oil and more than half of Venezuela's went directly to China last year. Later, Trump announced that he is replacing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem with Senator Markwayne Mullin, effective March 31st. Despite her accomplishments on the border, her controversies led to her being the first cabinet official removed. Afterward, Barack Obama urged Virginians to vote yes on a ballot measure to amend the state's constitution, allowing temporary redrawing of congressional districts ahead of the midterms. Obama frames this as a necessary response to Republican-led mid-decade redistricting in other states that allegedly gives them unfair advantages. This is hypocritical gerrymandering by Democrats, who are masters of the practice but now accuse Republicans of it, motivated by fear of Trump's popularity and aimed at preventing Republicans from holding the House.
