Simply put, some things should transcend politics. But in a country where Democrats have a seriously bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, mountains must be made out of molehills, right is wrong and wrong is right, and victims of violent crimes can only be honored if their crime fits leftist narratives.
That’s where we are with Rhode Island, which has been a hotbed of anti-Trump activity since he took office for his second term, especially on the issue of illegal immigration, which has seen some woke state lawmakers openly threaten immigration enforcement officers.
ICE’s presence in cities like Providence and the removal flights that have taken off from Portsmouth have led to outrage among Democrat officials and far-left woketivists, the latter of whom have staged street protests, set up tip lines, and stakeouts where they try to locate ICE vehicles and allegedly give them no choice but to leave.
