Why Do Agitators Protest Deportation of the Worst of the Worst Aliens?

The liberty principle for this Freedom Friday concerns agitators who organize against federal officers. The so-called protests in Minesota have resulted in the deaths of two insurrectionists. Problems grow larger because individuals and organizations are striving to destroy the U.S. government. I often call such group “secret combinations” – a term used in the Book of Mormon – Another Testament of Jesus Christ to describe the people who destroyed a national government.

One such organization that is working with the insurrectionists in Minnesota is Communidades Organizando el Poder y la Accion Latina, or COPAL Education Fund, according to Tyler O’Neil in his article published at The Daily Signal. 

COPAL describes itself as a group that works “to improve the quality of life of Latine families.” It also hosts a hotline for people to call when spotting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at work. The group also set up the Immigrant Defense Network, which trains “legal observers” to watch and report ICE.

The New York Times described COPAL as being “on the front lines of anti-ICE operations.” Francisco Segovia, COPAL’s executive director, described the confrontations with ICE as like “being, maybe, in the middle of a civil war.”

Protests of immigration enforcement have continued in the Twin Cities region following recent fatal shootings by federal agents of protesters. Anti-ICE agitators also invaded a church in St. Paul to stage a protest on Jan. 18….

COPAL coordinates anti-ICE actions, and it has received funding from various sources, including your tax dollars [$1 million].

A “handbook for constitutional observers,” co-branded with the Immigrant Defense Network and COPAL, instructs trainees on how to observe and document ICE agents at work.

The handbook specifically states, “Do NOT obstruct an arrest under ANY circumstances,” and instructs observers, “Don’t run or resist” if stopped by law enforcement.

After the Department of Homeland Security surged immigration agents to the Twin Cities in December, various agitators have opposed ICE agents by disrupting their work with whistles, using their cars and bodies to prevent the arrest of illegal aliens, and more.

Segovia, COPAL’s executive director, told The New York Times that the group does not “urge” trainees to blow whistles when ICE agents are present, but also acknowledged that “we provide whistles.”

“We provide copies of those books, and that’s part of the training,” he said of the observer handbook. “The whistle is part of that.”

“For instance, if you, as a citizen, observe the presence of ICE in your neighborhood, you can call the help line and say: I have witnessed this. That information comes to us. We assess the facts, and then we activate constitutional observers,” he said.

There is certainly nothing wrong with watching ICE arrest an illegal alien. However, whenever anyone tries to stop ICE or any other local, state, or national law officer in performing their duty, that person is committing a crime and should pay the price for doing so.

I do not recommend death, but there is a consequence to every action. If the actions are good and lawful, then good consequences usually follow. When the actions are breaking a constitutional law, then adverse consequences will follow – arrest, public humiliation, and even death if an officer of the law feels that agitators are threatening their life or the lives of fellow officers.

Many of the organizations seeking to overthrow the U.S. government are run by socialists or communists. Foreign money is paying for some of the agitators in Minnesota. An American billionaire who lives in China – Communist – has been named as a possible source of the money as well as George Soros who has sworn to destroy our government. Today I heard of an organization located in Canada that gave money to the protesters.

It is difficult to know what is true and what is not true. However, any honest person will agree that having terrorists infiltrate our nation is a terrible thing. ICE has sworn to deport the “worst of the worst.” Why is anyone trying to stop their deportation?
