# Dem Rep. Kelly’s Shocking Take: ICE Agent Shouldn’t Have Stood in Front of Car Before Being Dragged—Blame the Victim, Not the Criminal?
In a jaw-dropping moment on CNN’s News Central Friday, Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL), a staunch gun-control advocate and chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, dismissed the harrowing experience of a Minneapolis ICE agent who was dragged by a suspect’s car just days before that same agent fatally shot a violent rioter. When pressed on the incident—where the agent heroically positioned himself to stop a fleeing felon amid anti-ICE chaos—Kelly shrugged it off: He shouldn’t have stood in front of the car. Drawing from fragmented news reports she half-remembered, Kelly pivoted to lecture on law enforcement tactics, implying the agent’s bravery was somehow reckless. This isn’t just tone-deaf; it’s a masterclass in anti-cop, anti-law-enforcement rhetoric from a Democrat who routinely pushes to disarm the very protectors she undermines. For context, this ICE agent wasn’t some rogue cowboy—he was doing his job in a city plagued by sanctuary policies and Soros-funded unrest, where federal officers face daily ambushes from open-borders activists.
Kelly’s victim-blaming gem exposes the Left’s dangerous worldview: law enforcement exists to be sacrificed on the altar of progressive chaos, not to enforce the law. Remember, this is the same Rep. Kelly who’s sponsored bills like HR 8 for universal background checks and cheered Biden’s ATF nominee to crack down on ghost guns—all while soft-pedaling violence against feds upholding immigration law. Her comment reeks of the same hypocrisy that fuels defund the police fever dreams, where heroes blocking criminals are faulted, but the perps get a pass. For the 2A community, this is a stark warning: the same politicians demonizing armed citizens as threats are now greenlighting assaults on armed LEOs. If standing in front of a criminal’s car to stop a felony is wrong, what’s next—telling armed good guys at school board meetings they shouldn’t have stood up to masked agitators?
The implications for gun owners are crystal clear: in a post-Chevron world where federal overreach is under fire, Kelly’s ilk will double down on disarming ICE, Border Patrol, and local cops while shielding rioters with kid-glove reforms. 2A patriots must rally—support ICE with letters to Congress, amplify bodycam footage of these attacks, and vote out enablers like Kelly in 2026. Her words aren’t a slip; they’re a blueprint for lawlessness. Stand firm, armed, and unapologetic—because if feds can’t block a car without Democrat scorn, your right to self-defense is next on the chopping block.
