Governor Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), a former Navy helicopter pilot turned Congresswoman who’s now moonlighting as a governor in this CNN fever dream, dropped a bombshell on State of the Union Sunday: ICE agents are terrorizing American citizens and must be yanked off the streets immediately. Yes, you read that right—the same folks tasked with enforcing federal immigration law are suddenly the boogeymen in Sherrill’s narrative, accused of scaring everyday Americans just trying to grab a bagel in Newark. It’s peak 2024 political theater, where protecting borders apparently equates to domestic terrorism, and the solution is to neuter the one agency actually doing something about it.
But let’s peel back the irony for the 2A community, because this isn’t just anti-ICE hysteria—it’s a masterclass in the left’s double standard on who gets to wield power on the streets. Sherrill and her squad have zero qualms demonizing armed ICE officers as threats, yet they’ve spent years pushing red-flag laws, assault weapon bans, and sensitive places restrictions in New Jersey that strip law-abiding gun owners of their rights faster than you can say shall not be infringed. Remember, NJ under Dem rule already treats standard-capacity magazines like contraband and open carry like a felony—now they’re framing federal agents with badges and guns as the real menace? This rhetoric primes the pump for disarming anyone not in a blue uniform, implications be damned. If ICE is terrorizing citizens by existing, what’s next—calling the ATF stormtroopers for daring to enforce gun laws selectively?
The 2A angle sharpens when you consider the hypocrisy’s endgame: a nation where only state-approved enforcers patrol the streets, while armed citizens are painted as the extremists. Sherrill’s call to sideline ICE echoes the same playbook used against us—deputize feds to raid homes over bump stocks, but clutch pearls when those feds target illegals with criminal records. For gun owners, this is a flashing red light: defend ICE’s right to operate armed and unapologetic, or watch the dominoes fall toward universal disarmament. Time to push back—our streets, our rules, our Second Amendment.
