It emphasizes that under the Trump administration, border security improved considerably, with record-low illegal crossings, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kemp-sending-more-georgia-national-guard-troops-to-texas-as-border-encounters-hit-new-monthly-high\/\" title=\"Kemp dispatches additional GA National Guard to Texas amidst record-breaking ... encounters\">increased drug seizures<\/a>, and reduced crime rates, including homicides and overdoses. The piece attributes these successes to Trump&#8217;s policies such as designating fentanyl traffickers as terrorists and disrupting drug supply chains, contrasting with what it describes as Biden&#8217;s failed open-border approach. It also underscores the importance of immigration enforcement in maintaining public safety and argues that Democrats\u2019 push to abolish ICE is misguided, asserting that ICE officers have removed dangerous criminals from communities.The article concludes with a plea that Democrats shoudl appreciate ICE&#8217;s contributions rather than threaten its existence.  <\/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\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>When the accomplice media tell you that there is such a thing as a <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/videos\/hemingway-moderate-has-to-mean-more-than-not-banning-thanksgiving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cmoderate\u201d<\/a> wing of the Democratic Party,\u00a0 remember what the Democratic National Committee did on August 15, 2026.
