Sanders is as bad as they get in Washington. He’s constantly spewing radical ideas.
And Senator Sanders went scorched earth on ICE during a mindless rant.
In a fiery appearance on CNN’s The Source this Tuesday, Vermont’s independent Senator Bernie Sanders didn’t hold back in slamming Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, accusing them of outright racism and brutal tactics that he claims have Americans up in arms.
Sanders painted a dramatic picture of federal officers as masked villains funded by hardworking taxpayers’ money, barging into homes and terrorizing innocent families. He argued that these actions have crossed a line that even some Republicans can’t stomach.
Directly from the senator’s mouth: “I surely hope so. I think the overwhelming majority of the American people are shocked by what they are seeing. This is the United States of America. You’ve seen guys in masks paid by federal tax laws knocking on doors, sending five year old kids into detention centers, shooting several people, occupying an entire city, intimidating city.”
He went on to highlight a specific case where a Republican hopeful for Minnesota’s governor seat bailed out of the race, supposedly because he couldn’t back the party’s stance on these operations. Sanders tied it all to what he sees as discriminatory policing against minorities.
Continuing his quote: “In fact, it was a Republican candidate for governor in Minnesota who dropped out of the race. And he said, you know, I can’t defend what the Republican National Party is doing. You know, driving while Asian, driving while Latino is not unconstitutional. So the racism and the, violence is extraordinary. And I think the American people are saying enough is enough.”
But let’s be real here – Sanders’ outrage seems more like a socialist’s dream to dismantle border security than a genuine concern for justice.
After all, ICE is out there enforcing laws that protect American communities from chaos at the southern border.
Host Kaitlan Collins tried to toss him a bone, asking if the rollout of body cameras for these agents offered any comfort amid the controversy.
Her exact words: “Does it reassure you at all that they are sending body cameras to these federal agents?”
Sanders brushed it off as a token gesture, barely scratching the surface of what he views as deep-rooted problems in the agency. He pivoted to his own legislative pushback against what he calls overfunded federal muscle.
In his response: “That’s small, you know, look, I in my own view and I brought forth an amendment as you may know, the other day, as part of that legislation —”
Collins jumped in to clarify his bold move: “You wanted to repeal the $75 billion.”
Sanders doubled down, framing ICE not as protectors of the nation’s sovereignty but as a personal militia for former President Trump, bloated with cash that could be better spent elsewhere.
He elaborated: “Exactly over a four year period. I mean, they are now not Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but they are a domestic Trump’s domestic army extraordinarily well funded. And I was pleased that every Democrat voted with me. And we had two Republicans got 49 votes to say, do away with that 75 billion over four year period. For I said put that money, by the way, into Medicaid.”
This kind of talk from Sanders exposes the left’s true agenda: gut funding for law enforcement at the borders while funneling billions into entitlement programs that balloon the welfare state
It’s classic big-government socialism clashing with the need for strong national defense.
Real Americans know that secure borders aren’t about racism – they’re about safety, jobs, and preserving the American way of life against unchecked illegal immigration that strains resources and communities.
Sanders’ push to redirect ICE funds to Medicaid might sound compassionate to his base, but it ignores the frontline heroes who risk their lives daily to stop drugs, human trafficking, and criminal elements from pouring in. Defunding them isn’t progress; it’s surrender.
