# Nolte Nails It: Time for ICE Agent to Unleash Defamation Suits on Smearing Media and Dems
In a story that’s equal parts infuriating and ripe for righteous payback, Minneapolis ICE agent Eduardo Valdivia finds himself in the crosshairs of a vicious media-Democrat smear machine after an indisputable act of self-defense. Valdivia was viciously attacked by a machete-wielding assailant—32-year-old Yvette Smith—while serving a deportation warrant. Bodycam footage, corroborated by witnesses and released publicly, shows Smith charging at him with the blade raised, forcing Valdivia to fire four shots in rapid succession to stop the lethal threat. Yet, outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and Democrat politicians instantly branded him a murderer and vigilante, igniting riots and calls for his head before the facts even hit the airwaves. As John Nolte powerfully argues in his Breitbart piece, it’s high time Valdivia sues the hell out of every one of them for defamation—*everyone* who peddled the lie without evidence.
This isn’t just about one agent’s vindication; it’s a masterclass in how the left’s narrative-industrial complex operates, twisting self-defense into murder to demonize law enforcement and erode public trust in justified force. Remember the pattern? Kyle Rittenhouse, the Waukesha parade killer’s victims, now this ICE hero—all smeared as aggressors while actual criminals are lionized. Valdivia’s case shines a spotlight on the double standard: if bodycams and eyewitnesses prove lethal force was necessary, why the rush to convict in the court of public opinion? The implications are massive—media outlets face potential multimillion-dollar judgments (think Fox’s $787M Dominion payout, but reversed), forcing accountability and chilling their reckless activism. Democrats, too, could bleed cash and credibility, especially as blue-city DAs like Hennepin County’s Mary Moriarty drag their feet on charges despite zero evidence of wrongdoing.
For the 2A community, this is red meat: a stark reminder that the same rules protecting armed citizens apply to our ICE warriors on the front lines. When the media cries gun violence over crystal-clear self-defense, it fuels assaults on carry rights, stand-your-ground laws, and the fundamental right to meet force with force. Valdivia’s lawsuit tsunami could set precedents shielding good guys everywhere—cops, concealed carriers, you name it—from character assassination. Pro-2A warriors, rally behind this: donate to his legal fund if it launches, amplify the bodycam truth on X, and watch the rats scatter. The Second Amendment isn’t just for civilians; it’s the bulwark against chaos, and cases like this prove why we fight. Let the suits fly—justice demands it.
