Democrats, for years already, have claimed, wildly, that President Donald Trump is a "Hitler." They insist that he's a "fascist," and that's essentially their only articulable reason why he shouldn't be elected.
Longtime failed Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton was interviewed just days ago, and cited her own book, and other officials who align with her, as confirmation of that.
And then she sought to push on American people that Trump was re-acting a 1939 Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden with his event over the weekend.
The network, delivering a long list of its political propaganda points to Americans, spent its reporting time making comparisons between the two events, then reporting as if the suggestions were not its own.
"Donald Trump's extreme rhetoric and rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City has drawn comparisons to when supporters of Hitler packed the Garden in 1939," the network posted.
It was the Daily Mail, one of the largest publications in the world, that said the network "shockingly" edited images of the actual Nazi rally into the coverage of Trump's campaign event, which featured a star-studded list of supporters, packed the house with almost 20,000 fans, and, according to police, had tens of thousands of fans waiting outside.
WND had reported only days ago that Democrats chose the "Hitler" epithet to insult and damage Trump, and potentially spark violence if he's elected, as in a civilized society, what else should happen if a "Hitler" is elected?
That happened when controversial former Roman Catholic archbishop, Carlo Maria Vigano, who was the Vatican's ambassador to the U.S. from 2011 until 2016, described Kamala Harras as "an infernal monster who obeys Satan."
The election this year is, in fact, described by many as a spiritual fight, what with the likelihood Harris would push harder for the Biden-Harris administration's top agenda items of abortion for all and transgenderism, including body mutilations, for children.
Vigano, in an open letter to Catholics, explained there's no question that they should vote for Trump.
Clinton, too, went on a Democrat-friendly network program to promote the idea of a link between Trump's rally and the 1939 event at Madison Square Garden.
Not emphasized was the fact that the Democrats also have used that facility for their own events.
The Daily Mail noted MSNBC's Capehart "recalled the Nazi rally" as MSNBC "showed images" of the events, "complete with goose-stepping and Hitler salutes."
He claimed, using Democrat propaganda points, "Against that backdrop of history, Donald Trump – the man who has threatened to use the military against opponents he calls 'enemies from within,' who has threatened to use the troops to quell what he says are lawless cities and to use those troops to carry out mass deportations of immigrants – is once again turning Madison Square Garden into a staging ground for extremism."
On social media, commenters were horrified.
"As if we couldn't lose ANY more trust in media," wrote Phil Williams, pointing out that, "Then Trump mic drops with black, Hindu, and Jewish speakers on the dais … oh, and a black woman sang the National Anthem."
Michael Shermer said, "Is @elonMusk Himmler, is Dr. Phil Mengele, is Melania Eva Braun? … You're alienating undecided voters & nudging them to Trump."
Celebrity athlete Riley Gaines pointed to the rally "coverage" and reminded readers that Barack Obama, only days ago, had wondered, "How did things get so divisive?"
Others pointed out that MSNBC was calling tens of thousands of Americans "Nazis" and one said, "They must have forgotten that the DNC held their convention there for Bill Clinton."
Leftists just doubled down, with Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, whose links to communist China have created one of the scandals he's facing, stating, "There's a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden."
The Daily Mail reported, "Democrats have increasingly started to brand Trump a fascist and liken him to Adolf Hitler in recent weeks, as liberal fears of a Trump landslide increase. Kamala Harris herself agreed with an assertion that Trump is a 'fascist' during a recent TV appearance. Despite a dazzling start to her campaign, the VP appears to have lost her early momentum. Polls show the race too close to call, but many on both left and right are starting to predict a humiliating defeat for Harris."
Others suggested the network's broadcast license be revoked.
Capehart himself as been the star of leftism for some time. He's called Trump supporters a bigger threat than the Taliban in previous comments.

Kamala Harris, and many of her Democratic Party compatriots, have a long record of describing President Donald Trump in horrific terms, such as "Hitler."
Previously, they've been accused of "priming" Democrats to do violence, especially if Trump wins the 2024 election in a few days.
Now it is Fox News that is reporting two top Republican leaders in Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, are calling on her to quit the incitement.
The report explains they are telling Harris, in a joint statement, to "stop calling GOP nominee former President Trump a 'fascist.'"
"This summer, after the first attempted assassination of a presidential candidate in more than a century, President Biden insisted that 'we can't allow this violence to be normalized.' In September, after President Trump escaped yet another close call, Vice President Harris acknowledged that 'we all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence,'" the statement charges.
"These words have proven hollow. In the weeks since that second sobering reminder, the Democratic nominee for President of the United States has only fanned the flames beneath a boiling cauldron of political animus. Her most recent and most reckless invocations of the darkest evil of the 20th century seem to dare it to boil over. The Vice President's words more closely resemble those of President Trump's second would-be assassin than her own earlier appeal to civility," they charge.
McConnell and Johnson accuse the Democrats of, by calling Trump a "fascist," inviting "another would-be assassin to take a shot."
"Vice President Harris may want the American people to entrust her with the sacred duty of executive authority. But first, she must abandon the base and irresponsible rhetoric that endangers both American lives and institutions. We have both been briefed on the ongoing and persistent threats to former President Donald Trump by adversaries to the United States, and we call on the Vice President to take these threats seriously, stop escalating the threat environment, and help ensure President Trump has the necessary resources to be protected from those threats," the statement said.
That's the essential message Harris and other Democrats, like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, have been sending to their followers.
WND previously reported that commentator John Daniel Davidson at The Federalist has charged that she's carried on with such rhetoric to "prime Democrat voters for violent resistance should Trump win in November."
He cited a long list of examples of her extremism:
During a Fox News interview, he explained, "She became visibly upset after Baier (Baier) played a clip of former President Donald Trump calling out the weaponization of government and the endless investigations and lawfare he's been subjected to. The vice president, her voice rising in outrage, jabbed her finger at Baier and said, 'You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him.'"
Also, Davidson explained, "At a campaign rally in Pennsylvania this week she told the crowd that former President Donald Trump considers anyone who doesn't support him to be an enemy of the United States. 'He is saying he would use the military to go after them.'"
Just days ago, "Harris claimed without a hint of irony that if Trump is elected he'll use the Department of Justice 'as a weapon against his political enemies,' adding, 'You know who does that? Dictators do that.' At one point during the show, she agreed with a caller who said Trump will lock 'anyone who doesn't look white into camps,' replying, 'You've hit on a really important point and expressed it I think so well."
Davidson noted, "Even before Harris seized the Democratic nomination from President Joe Biden, the idea that Trump is an existential threat to American democracy was the refrain of the Biden campaign. Harris has taken that theme and run with it."
He explained Harris' obsession with the idea that Trump would hurt America:
"The purpose of it isn't just to scare voters into casting their ballot against the former president, or to provoke some unstable would-be assassin into taking a shot at Trump (although some Democrats no doubt see that as a happy by-product of this Trump-as-dictator rhetoric). Its main purpose is to prime Democrat voters for violent resistance should Trump win in November," he charged.
He suggested a comparison of "the lopsidedness of the rhetoric between the Trump and Harris campaigns."
"Trump often makes sweeping (and mostly true) statements about the deep state, about the border and illegal immigration, about crime, about how Harris and the Democrats are destroying the country. But when he uses the phrase 'destroying the country,' he's talking about things like crime, homelessness, drug addiction, rampant inflation, and the cost of groceries. These things, he says, are the result of policies Democrats have put in place. If you're looking for someone to blame, he says, blame Biden and Harris, because all these problems are their fault."
Harris, and her Democrats, are "pushing a narrative that Trump is going to be a fascist dictator if he wins office and use the powers of the presidency to go after ordinary Americans. That's an extreme and frankly unhinged position with no basis in reality. You don't say things like that unless you're hoping to provoke a strong reaction, and the reaction Democrats are hoping to provoke is violent resistance to a second Trump term."
He warned the rhetoric goes further: "After all, if you really thought that Trump would order the military and the Justice Department to round up you and your family, wouldn't you do anything to stop him? Wouldn't you take to the streets to save your country and thwart the rise of a fascist dictatorship? At least two would-be assassins have taken the Democrats' anti-Trump rhetoric seriously. Harris is hoping that many more people will between now and Election Day, respond by rejecting a second Trump term — in the streets, if they must."
He pointed out the Democrats already used that strategy: in 2020.
"During the BLM riots in the summer of 2020, Harris herself was out in front egging on the rioters, infamously working to raise bail money for those who had been arrested. Of the protests themselves, she said this in a June 2020 interview with Stephen Colbert: 'Everyone beware. They're not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they're not gonna stop after Election Day … They're not gonna let up, and they should not.'"
They used the unrest coming from BLM and Antifa riots, which did billions of dollars in damage to American cities, to "damage Trump's reelection campaign."
If, in fact, Harris is a "left-wing radical," she would have little concern "if a couple of neighborhoods here there get burned to the ground, " or "young women get raped and killed by illegal immigrants," or apartment complexes "get taken over by criminal alien gangs," because it's in "service of a greater goal."
He warned, "What Harris and the Democrats are doing with this line about Trump rounding up Americans and putting them in camps is preparing the ground for massive civic unrest in the event of a Trump victory. The purpose of the unrest would be to cripple Trump's administration before he even takes office and to disrupt normal life for so many Americans that they will rue the day they ever voted for Trump. … It's exactly what Harris is planning for and hoping to provoke if Trump wins."
The more recent rhetoric has followed a campaign, pursued for years by Democrats and media organizations, that Trump actually is a "Hitler," suggesting that anything goes if the goal is to stop Trump.
This story was originally published by the WND News Center.
Democrats, actually for years already, repeatedly have wildly claimed that President Donald Trump is a "Hitler," a strategy that encourages violence against him because, after all, if he truly is a "Hitler" society's limits on opposition are lifted in order to prevent the horrors that could follow.
Kamala Harris' rhetoric repeatedly has gone into that twilight zone.
Now there's another coalition using the same attack on Trump, according to columnist John Daniel Davidson, a senior editor at the Federalist.
It's the Atlantic, which unleashed an "outlandish hit piece" on Trump, claiming he advocated for Hitlerian ideals, a wild claim by Jeffery Goldberg that "was immediately denied on the record by all the people who were in the room with Trump."
It, the commentary charged, is "part of a larger psy-op to justify mass post-election violence if Trump wins in November, to signal activists to reject the results of the election, to divide the military, and to coax an insurgency out of the radical left-wing base of the Democratic Party and unleash it on American cities."
Kamala Harris already has been quoting from the charges, but not the rejection of those by witnesses.
The publication claimed it was ex-Trump chief of staff John Kelly that made the claims against Trump.
Harris' own version of the claims? "He does not want a military that is loyal to the United States Constitution, he wants a military that is loyal to him. He wants a military that is loyal to him personally. One that will obey his orders even when he tells them to break the law or abandon their oath to the Constitution of the United States."
"This is not just the normal heated rhetoric that comes out in the final weeks of a close presidential election. This is something else. It is at least a tacit call for violent resistance, for insurrection, and even for a third assassination attempt against Trump," the commentary explained.
Trump already has been targeted in recent months by two assassination attempts.
"It's hard to overstate how reckless and dangerous this is two weeks before an election that Harris appears to be losing. Having staked out this rhetorical ground, what is she supposed to say if she loses the election? How is she supposed to concede? Will she come out and say, 'Sorry everyone we tried hard to save America but now you must all live peacefully under the new Hitler?' She's not going to say that. She can't now. She's going to call for resistance. 'Patriotic resistance,' she might call it, but it will be coded as a call for street violence or worse. After all, you don't just accept a Hitler-like, fascist regime. You fight it any way you can."
The "Hitler" name-calling, Davidson wrote, follows Joe Biden's repeated insistence that Trump is an existential threat to democracy.
That created an "opening" for assassins, he said, and it happened in Butler, Pennsylvania.
When Biden was tossed aside by Democrats, Harris picked up the refrain, "pushing the line that a Trump presidency meant the end of America as we know it. And so, inevitably, there was a second assassination attempt."
Others in the campaign have included White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, who has ranted about the danger from Trump.
"Is this reckless and dangerous? Is it designed to prepare the ground for mass violence? Is it assassination prep? Yes, it's all those things. But understand that we're not dealing with a normal political party here. We're dealing with an ensconced institutional oligarchy that has already executed a coup against the previous Democrat nominee (and sitting president), forcing him to end his reelection campaign. They have already discarded millions of Democrat primary votes to install their hand-picked successor despite their claims to care about 'preserving democracy.' They have already refused to tone down their incendiary rhetoric despite two assassination attempts against Trump. In other words, these are not people who care about political norms. They care about power and power alone," Davidson explained.
Previously, Davidson had warned how Harris over and over is diving into extremism to try to ramp up the possibility of violence against Trump.
He cited her comments including: "You and I both know that he has talked about turning the American military on the American people. He has talked about going after people who are engaged in peaceful protest. He has talked about locking people up because they disagree with him."
And her claim he "would use the military" to go after his critics.
At that time, he wrote, "The purpose of it isn't just to scare voters into casting their ballot against the former president, or to provoke some unstable would-be assassin into taking a shot at Trump (although some Democrats no doubt see that as a happy by-product of this Trump-as-dictator rhetoric). Its main purpose is to prime Democrat voters for violent resistance should Trump win in November."
He said Harris is "pushing a narrative that Trump is going to be a fascist dictator if he wins office and use the powers of the presidency to go after ordinary Americans. That's an extreme and frankly unhinged position with no basis in reality. You don't say things like that unless you're hoping to provoke a strong reaction, and the reaction Democrats are hoping to provoke is violent resistance to a second Trump term."

There's no doubt that a morality foreign to America's Judeo-Christian foundation and longtime adherence is afoot on its shores today.
The Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration has made transgenderism, including the bodily mutilation of minors, and abortion, the lucrative industry of killing the unborn, among its top priorities.
Further, the administration routinely has orchestrated attacks on followers of the faith, sending grandmothers to prison because of their actions in pursuit of protecting the unborn, and trying to force Christian ministries to fund abortion.
So it's not a surprise that President Donald Trump, who has promised to reverse many of the Biden-Harris agenda points, would be considered by some to be the choice closer to God's desires for America than the Democrat nominee, Harris.
But now some speculation by witches, who have made their presence known on social media sites, is spurring that conversation.
They, in fact, are complaining about "some kind of protection" around Trump, making it so they cannot cast spells on him.
Trump himself has acknowledged that circumstance, especially concerning his escape from an assassin's bullet weeks ago. The bullet nicked his ear, causing it to bleed. But he explains that had he not turned his head at that very instant to look at a poster on stage at his rally, he likely would have died.
Online, "WitchesVsPatriarchy" complained, "Some other witches have mentioned that doing spells directly against tRump (sic) are not as effective as we might hope as he seems to have some kind of protection around him."
So the recommendation is to do spells "to help Kamala & the Democrats."
A report at Modernity News said, "A post on the far-left website appeared in a subreddit called 'WitchesVsPatriarchy' and features one of the witches bemoaning the fact that their spells aren't working on the Donald."
The report suggests Trump already "lives in their deranged heads rent free" because they want no more attention given to him, while giving him more attention.
He said, "You don't hear about the American Dream anymore. We're going to make it possible for them to have that dream again. This is a very religious evening to me. It really is. It represents so much. My sister was someone who loved the (Catholic) Church and gave to the Church. The cardinal knew that.
"Having recently, myself, survived two assassination attempts—yes, I survived. I have a chart that went down to the right. Fortunately, I looked at it. It's my all-time favorite piece of paper. It went down, and I looked to the right, and I said, 'Was that luck? Was that God?' I think it was God that did that. I really do."
Further, columnist Wayne Allyn Root bluntly said Trump has been chosen by God.
"He's not perfect. He's not a god. He's a human, although I believe super-human. But Trump is clearly chosen by God for this role, at this time and place – to save America and make America great again," he explained in a commentary.
"Like the heroes of the Bible, Trump is a courageous warrior, with a killer instinct, perhaps you might call him a Barbarian, chosen by God to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! And to protect our country, our values, and our childrens' future."
Root is author of multiple books and has a television show, "The ROOT Reaction" on Real America's Voice TV, as well as a weekend program.
His comments, he explains, are being repeated from 2016. But they are never more true than now, he said.
On social media, Trump said, "There's something going on. I mean, perhaps it's God wanting me to be president, to save this country. Nobody knows."

California officials have agreed, in a court stipulation, not to try to censor the parody works of the Babylon Bee and others while a lawsuit over a new speech limit pushed by Gov. Gavin Newsom develops in the court system.
The Bee, a satire website, and several others, are suing the state over two new laws that purport to limit Americans' speech, specifically setting restrictions for political satire and parody.
"California's war against political memes is censorship, plain and simple. We shouldn't trust the government to decide what is true in our online political debates," explained Jonathan Scrubbs, an ADF lawyer working on the case.
"Gov. Newsom has no constitutional authority to act as the humor police. While lawmakers act as if posting and resharing memes is a threat to democracy, these laws censor speech California politicians don't like. We are grateful that California's unconstitutional law can no longer be applied to censor The Babylon Bee and Ms. Rickert while the case continues and that they are again free to exercise their First Amendment rights to poke fun at political leaders."
The agreement comes in a stipulation in which, the case having been transferred to a federal court in the Eastern District of California, state officials agreed that a previously issued preliminary injunction still protects the Babylon Bee and Rickert.
A lawsuit was filed that challenged the state's demands that it control online content such as political satire and parody.
Newsom launched the laws, AB2839 and AB2655, just weeks ago.
They use "vague standards" that officials wanted to impose to punish people for posting certain political content, such as political memes and parodies.
WND previously reported when the original judge issued the injunction.
A second case, brought on behalf Chris Kohls, known as "Mr. Reagan" online, also addressed the same problem.
The original judge said the law "hinders humorous expression and unconstitutionally stifles the free and unfettered exchange of ideas."
WND previously reported as the battle heated up and Newsom, who has faced mockery for his state's high taxes, extremism on social issues like abortion and transgenderism, attempts to interfere with other states and their rights, took chutzpah to a new level.
That, by the way, derives from a Hebrew word meaning "insolence," "cheek" or "audacity."
He signed a law banning parody.
The report said video creator Kohls charged Newsom with violations of the First and 14th Amendments with Newsom's "anti-deepfake measure" that was signed into law this week.
California's governor was offended by a parody released by "Mr. Reagan" recently:
In it "Kamala Harris" confirms she is the Democrat candidate for president because Joe Biden "exposed his senility at the debate."
She confesses she is the "ultimate diversity hire," as a woman and a "person of color."
"So if you criticize anything I say you're both sexist and racist."
The mockery continues.
The video uses AI-generated audio clips, and it was shared by Elon Musk, collecting more than 100 million views.
Newsom responded:
The lawsuit in federal court in California charges that Newsom's scheme is a flagrant use of "state power to force private social media companies to censor private citizens' speech by purging election-related AI-generated content."
Musk's comment? "You're not gonna believe this, but Gavin Newsom, just announced that he signed a LAW to make parody illegal, based on this video."
He concludes California needs "new leadership."
However, taking on Newsom directly was the Babylon Bee, which prominently announced it has "'obtained this exclusive, official, 100% real Gavin Newsom election ad."
In it, "Newsom" states:
This is a message for the people of America, given in my authentically recorded non-AI voice. Thanks to my leadership over the last several years, California has become a world leader in extremist left-wing governance. My policies were so effective that almost 1 million people are now fleeing the state every year. We even ran out of U-Hauls.
During the COVID pandemic, I locked everyone in their homes and shut down businesses for months. Not the French Laundry, though. That's my favorite restaurant. Last year, I cleaned up the dangerous, messy streets of San Francisco. You know, because Chinese Communist President Xi was coming. And I really wanted to impress him. He's my boss, after all.
This year, I signed legislation that allows me to take custody of your kid if you refuse to give him artificial hormones and chop off his genitals. Because if you don't do that, you're a bigot. And bigots shouldn't be allowed to have kids. I've also led the way in green energy by banning all cars that don't run on electricity. Then I banned almost all the electricity. This is smart leadership.
On my watch, the cost of living and homelessness have skyrocketed. Schools are failing. Drug dealers and human traffickers are pouring across the border. And poop has covered the sidewalks of San Francisco. This is the positive, joyful vision we offer as Democrats.
That's why I'm enthusiastically endorsing Kamala Harris for president in 2024. She'll do to the country everything I did in California. Anyway, I'm California Governor Gavin Newsom, and I approve this 100% real message, which is a recording of my voice without the assistance of any AI whatsoever.
This isn't a deepfake. And you can rest assured that it isn't, because I just signed an unconstitutional law outlawing deepfakes. No one would dare violate it. Thank you, and science bless America.

A longtime political pundit, Frank Miele, retired editor of the Daily Inter Lake in Kalispell, Montana, now a commentator at RealClearPolitics, has written about what he expects when the presidential election ballots are counted in just two weeks.
The author of "The Media Matrix: What If Everything You Know Is Fake," explains at Real Clear Wire that President Donald Trump, "will win, and he will win convincingly."
"But that doesn't mean the progressive left won't have a meltdown. Just as in 2016, when Trump was first elected president, the media will be dismayed, the Democrats will be shocked, and there will be protests in the streets, possibly violent. Congressional Democrats such as Jamie Raskin will try to prevent Trump from being sworn in by declaring him an insurrectionist," he explained.
He says that while there are seven battleground states that "are supposed to decide the election," bigger is the fact that the American people "in large measure have come to regret the election that put Joe Biden in the White House four years ago."
That was the election that Trump is accused in court of trying to "overturn." It's the election he's cited as having been stolen. Actually, there were several undue influences on that result, in the midst of COVID. Mark Zuckerberg handed out $400 million plus to local election officials who often used the extra cash to recruit Democrat voters. The other was the FBI's interference when it falsely labeled the Hunter Biden laptop computer scandal as disinformation and told publishers to suppress it. Later polling showed that information, accurate as it was, very likely would have turned the results of the election around had it been reported ordinarily.
The commentary explained that in recent months polling has confirmed not even a third of Republicans think Joe Biden is a legitimate president, and 36% of all Americans have doubts about that result.
"That is only a feeling, not a fact, but feelings decide presidential elections, and the almost gleeful anti-American thrust of Biden's presidency has given more than 60% of potential voters a feeling that we are on the wrong track as a nation."
He explained he had spoofed, just before the 2020 vote, about Kamala Harris turning Biden out of office with the 25th Amendment as soon as the two gained the White House.
"It didn't quite happen that way, of course, but 3½ disastrous years later, Kamala along with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi seemingly used the specter of the 25th Amendment to force Biden to end his reelection bid. Life imitating art," he said. "In my pastiche, President Trump had appeared close to sealing his victory in the 2020 election, thanks to late mail-in votes in Pennsylvania. But 'in an emergency session, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court convenes and reverses its earlier ruling that late votes could be counted for up to three days. The new ruling asserts that late voting amounts to election interference 'on account of Trump winning,' thus handing the state and the Electoral College victory to Biden."
He pointed out that ultimately the courts ruled in favor of Biden in those election disputes by "refusing to look at the evidence of fraud or unconstitutional irregularities."
Trump's messaging about elections is being adopted by voters "because it matched their lived experience. They saw with their own eyes that the wide-open Biden border was being called secure by Biden, Harris, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. They saw that Biden's Supreme Court nominee couldn't say for sure what makes a woman a woman, and then they watched as boys began to dominate girls' sports. They watched prices on the rise and safety in decline. Worst of all, they stood helpless as the world seemed to be rushing headlong toward World War III, first in Ukraine, then the Middle East, all the while as China has been threatening to cripple the world economy by attacking Taiwan," he explained.
What's important in the aftermath of the 2024 vote, he said, is "whether the experience of Americans will reflect renewed prosperity, a safer world, and respect for tradition and common sense. Many will try to prevent that, but making America great again should be a unifying goal," he said.
Pointedly, he noted, "If I am wrong and Kamala Harris becomes the 47th president, I pray that divine providence takes hold of her and guides her to protect, defend, and strengthen these United States and their Constitution. Seems like a long shot, but without Trump, prayer is all we got."

A stern warning has been issued to illegal migrants who are convicted of felony crimes – they will not be welcome in the U.S. and they will forfeit their privilege to stay.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a statement Tuesday from the New York enforcement removal operations office, after a series of arrests took place in New York City.
Currently, NYC is a sanctuary city which limits its cooperation with ICE officials. As a result, ICE agents are left to go into the city's neighborhoods to find criminal illegal aliens who are ripe for deportation.
According to Fox News, deportation of criminal migrants has come under fire after data showed there are 425,431 convicted criminals currently in removal proceedings who are not in ICE custody. The staggering numbers have compelled the Biden administration to prioritize public safety ahead of the upcoming presidential election which is only in a few short weeks.
Fox News further reported non-detained illegal migrants not in ICE custody have surged from 3.7 million under former President Donald Trump to a bloated 7.4 million under the Biden administration.
On Wednesday, ICE said officers arrested an unlawfully present Venezuelan national, Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, after he was convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers in Times Square. ICE agents took Gomez-Izquiel into custody upon his conviction in the New York Supreme Court.
ERO New York City Field Office Director Kenneth Genalo said in a statement that ICE will not allow communities to become safe havens for illegal migrants who do not abide by the law.
"Gomez-Izquiel is a criminal and threat to the public servants, residents and businesses of New York City … We will not allow our communities to become safe havens for noncitizens who refuse to abide our laws. ERO New York City will continue to work with unending determination to apprehend and remove these violent criminal offenders," Genalo said.
During an audio town hall with the Breakfast Club host Charlamagne Tha God, Vice President Kamala Harris blamed the border crisis on Trump, again making the false claim the Biden administration had tried to pass an immigration bill to "fix" the problem at the southern border.
"Charlamagne, the first thing we dropped was a bill to fix the broken immigration system, which by the way, Trump did not fix when he was president … You can look at every step along the way. We then tightened up the asylum process. We then worked with what we needed to cure ports of entry. We did a number of things, including what we did to get that border security bill passed, and then also an executive order that has actually reduced significantly the number of illegal crossings," Harris said.
However, former National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told Fox News host Steve Doocy the bill Harris purports to have been nixed by Trump did not actually contain anything within it to secure the border. Rather, it would have given a pathway to citizenship to over 11 million illegal migrants residing in the U.S.
"There were no border security measures in that bill. Again … it was all about amnesty for those people that are currently here … When you look at that, that's the reason the Border Patrol agents right now just don't feel like their job means anything. That's why people are looking at leaving if she gets elected again. We all want to be able to feel like our job means something that we're able to accomplish," Judd said.
Judd added there are no mechanisms that border patrol agents are able to use right now, and noted that is directly the fault of Harris.

Just as the 2024 presidential election vote is under way, with mail voting and early voting already taking place in a number of states, a new poll shows there are more Americans who identify as Republican than as Democrat.
With the poll showing 31% of respondents to Gallup identify as Republican, to 28% considering themselves Democrats, a report from Trending Politics News said the numbers show "a significant shift in political affiliations since mid-September, causing potential challenges for Democrats ahead of the crucial vote."
The Republican number is up four points from the last poll, while Democrats were down three. Independents, although down by 1%, still were the leaders, at 41%.
The report noted the Democrat Party originally represented agrarian interests, southern slaveholders and the work class.
It's now turned into a party of elites, who even had the power to toss Joe Biden, picked by primary voters to be the candidate, under the bus and replace him with Kamala Harris.
The plunge in Democrat numbers, the report said, "comes at a critical time as both parties ramp up efforts to secure votes before Election Day. Analysts suggest that economic concerns, inflation, and dissatisfaction with the Biden-Harris administration's handling of domestic issues may be driving voters away from the Democratic Party."
It adds, "The poll indicates that Republicans could benefit from a surge in party loyalty and enthusiasm, while Democrats face the task of motivating their base and winning back independents who are showing increasing support for the GOP."
If numbers include "leaners," those who are Republican or lean to than party make up 49%; Democrats only 42%. That almost was a flip-flop from just a month earlier.

It's an issue on which a majority of Americans agree.
Members of "every race, sex, age, ethnicity, income, region, educational status, and political viewpoint" agree:
That the administration of transgender-pushing chemicals and bodily mutilations on minors should be banned.
Except for one group: Democrats.
The party of Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, Joe Biden and the push to impose such ideological agendas on those too young to defend themselves.
The Washington Stand reported, "If the government passed a bill banning pediatric gender clinics from inflicting so-called 'gender-affirming care' on everyone under 18, every demographic group in the United States would favor it – except registered Democrats."
The results are from a new The Center Square Voters' Voice Poll by Noble Predictive Insights which interviewed 2,560 registered voters.
Nearly six of 10 said the government should ban the transgender industry from pushing any drug or doing any body-modifying surgery on minors.
Only 25% would oppose such an agenda.
Majorities from virtually every area of American life said "yes" to the question, "Should the federal government ban transgender procedures, such as puberty blockers and gender-related surgeries, for minors?"
The majorities included Republicans (82%), parents of minors (61%), urban residents (58%), college-educated voters (55%), and young people aged 18-34 (53%), the report said.
And, it said, "The most sought-after voting blocs in the 2024 presidential election believe the government should prohibit the transgender industry from targeting children and teenagers, including suburban residents (57%), females, and true Independent voters (both 56%)."
Childless voters, 53%, agreed, as did Midwest (60%), West (59%) and Northeast (51%) voters and white voters (63%), Hispanics (59%) and more. For blacks, it was a plurality of 46%.
"Only registered Democrats said they believed the multibillion-dollar transgender industry should be able to ply its trade on minors, who cannot legally drink alcohol or attend an R-rated movie alone," the report charged.
"Even then, only a plurality of Democrats disbelieve in such laws. A total of 43% of registered Democrats would oppose a national minor protection bill, while 36% would welcome such a measure."
Transgenderism has been one of the two top agenda items for the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration, in which it delivered failures to America on the border, on inflation, on the economy, on international influence and much more. The other priority for them has been abortion.
Peter LaBarbera, president of Center For Morality and Americans for Truth, told the Washington Stand. "The percentages would be much higher were it not for the pro-Democrat-media's efforts to spike coverage of the issue and lie about it."
