Harold Ford Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Ford Jr. argues that if Democratic governors believe there are inhumane or illegal conditions, they should publicly press the issue directly-ideally meeting with the president and seeking on-the-ground access with documentation-rather than letting protesters stay outside and create turmoil. He also claims the facility was open during the Obama administration and points to reports from a lawmaker who toured the site, contrasting those accounts with protesters\u2019 claims. <\/p>\n<p>The passage further describes efforts by city and state officials to restore order around the facility, including a curfew, police involvement, and arrests, and concludes that Democrats should stop escalating violence while demanding credible answers through proper oversight.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>One of America\u2019s few remaining sane Democrats has effectively called his party\u2019s bluff.<\/p>\n<p>Monday on Fox News\u2019 \u201cThe Five,\u201d former Democratic Rep. Harold Ford Jr. of Tennessee, who serves as a rotating liberal co-host on the show, delivered a one-minute monologue demanding that Democrat leaders finally put up or shut up about conditions inside the Delaney Hall Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, he said, leftist protesters will remain emboldened in their violent resistance to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/markwayne-mullin-nukes-chuck-schumer-degrading-anti-ice-comments-lying-scumbag-politician\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ICE\u2019s<\/a> legal operations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would urge Democrats,\u201d Ford Jr. said in a clip posted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X, \u201cif indeed the governors around the country believe there\u2019s something inhumane, something illegal happening in these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/this-is-torch-and-pitchfork-mentality-run-amuck-guest-on-malzbergs-eat-the-press-discusses-the-cancel-culture-in-the-us-today\/\" title=\"\u201cThis is Torch and Pitchfork Mentality Run Amuck\u201d \u2013 Guest on Malzberg\u2019s \u201cEat the Press\u201d Discusses the Cancel Culture in the US Today\">detention centers<\/a>, the Democratic governors ought to all come together, fly to Washington, go to the White House, stand outside the White House and say, \u2018We would love a meeting with the president.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why should Democrat governors do such a thing? According to the former lawmaker, if his party\u2019s leaders at the state level seek access to the detention centers, they could go through with cameras and document the truth about conditions inside.<\/p>\n<p>For more than a week, leftist protesters have gathered outside the Delaney Hall facility.<\/p>\n<p>Amid rumors \u2014 likely manufactured ones \u2014 about inhumane treatment of the detainees, the usual assortment of militant, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-fox-host-responds-open-disgust-anti-ice-antagonist-attacks-reporter-daring-video-behavior\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foul-mouthed, leftist miscreants<\/a> have made general nuisances of themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Some of those miscreants, in fact, took it upon themselves to block regular traffic in front of the detention center. In one viral video, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-anti-ice-agitators-show-true-colors-truck-driver-gets-vehicle-confronts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exasperated truck driver<\/a> exposed them as fools and cowards.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of viral videos, anti-ICE agitators have always had one obvious objective: generate social media footage that portrays ICE in a bad light, thereby eroding public support for enforcement of immigration laws. It explains why those agitators so often <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/video-panicking-anti-ice-medic-almost-tears-begging-rioters-leave-nj-state-police-roll-big-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">come across as performative<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, however, authorities must restore order.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, on Saturday Newark Mayor Ras Baraka imposed a mandatory 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. Then, on Sunday, Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey sent in the state police.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/priceless-video-living-wall-riot-cops-opens-pulls-unsuspecting-anti-ice-punk-closes-like-never\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arrests<\/a> have followed.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, eventually the truth must prevail.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-illegals-better-inner-city-americans-gop-rep-reveals-stunning-amenities-found-delaney-ice-facility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeff Van Drew<\/a>, a Republican from New Jersey, toured the Delaney Hall facility and reported that detainees enjoy more comfortable conditions than do most people in the world, including many Americans.<\/p>\n<p>On \u201cThe Five,\u201d Ford Jr. took it a step further by telling the truth about former President Barack Obama\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemind people that President Obama,\u201d Ford Jr. said, \u201cthat place was open during the Obama administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former lawmaker again insisted that Democrat governors should \u201cget to the bottom of it\u201d if they suspect anything illegal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for protesters to be outside engaging in this kind of violence, imparting these kind of threats to federal officials,\u201d he continued, \u201cI said it when people went to school board officials during COVID, when they were outside in the parking lot, that was wrong. Democrats, we have to say this is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Ford Jr. reiterated his call for Democrat governors to go directly to President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-trump-names-acting-director-national-intelligence-tulsi-gabbard-announces-resignation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOtherwise,\u201d the lawmaker concluded, \u201cwe\u2019re gonna continue to see this kind of violence and this kind of almost anarchy in our cities across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\ud83d\udca5NEW: Dem Harold Ford Jr. on New Jersey Anti-ICE Rioters: \u201cThat place was open during the Obama Administration \u2026 for protesters to be outside engaging in this kind of violence, imparting these kind of threats to federal officials \u2026 Democrats, we have to say, \u2018This is WRONG!\u2019\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CvVcEB2hMH\">pic.twitter.com\/CvVcEB2hMH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jason Cohen \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@JasonJournoDC) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JasonJournoDC\/status\/2061575144452002292?\">June 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Five\u201d features regular conservative co-hosts such as Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld. Perhaps a bit of their good sense has worn off on the Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, Ford Jr. deserves credit for telling the truth about circumstances under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/obama-slammed-disgusting-decision-speak-event-organized-man-troubling-past\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Obama<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Recall, for instance, the very different coverage the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/adam-schiff-will-be-in-jail-for-1000-years-if-trump-is-convicted-in-georgia-gop-senator\/\" title=\"GOP Senator predicts Adam Schiff will face a 1,000...year jail term if Trump is found guilty in Georgia.\">establishment media gave<\/a> to immigration enforcement before Trump came along. In a story published 10 years ago to the day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2016\/05\/31\/politics\/undocumented-immigrants-enforcement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a> reporters gave a balanced account of an \u201cexclusive ride along\u201d with ICE agents in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>In short, immigration enforcement\u2019s primary function has not changed since 2016. ICE still prioritizes and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >pursues criminal illegal aliens<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What has changed, however, is Democrats\u2019 willingness to lie about ICE in order to rile up their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dem-lawmakers-increasingly-terrified-voters-want-us-shot-demand-blood-call-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lunatic base<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the rare truth-telling Democrat like Ford Jr. can help end the madness. Ask for access, Democrat governors, if you believe those detention centers impose illegal and inhumane conditions. Otherwise, stop provoking the violence.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
