ICE

Democrat leaders have been loudly advocating for impeding ICE officers in the execution of their duties via tracking, doxxing, protesting, oversight, sanctuary policies, violence, and even arrest. Not surprisingly, there has been a massive surge in assaults on ICE officers in 2025. The DOJ has sent letters to the Democrat leaders, ordering them to preserve all their emails, etc., in the even they are investigated and warning they could be charged.

I asked Grok, “What law prevents local police from arresting federal agents?” It turns out it’s not a law. It’s Article VI, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2), which is backed up by federal case law, particularly In re Neagle (1890). Local police may not interfere with federal agents when they are acting within the scope of their federal duties. However, if a federal agent commits a clear violation of federal or state law outside their official duties (e.g., personal misconduct), local police may have authority to arrest them, subject to coordination with federal authorities.

I also asked Grok, “What democrat leaders have said ICE agents should be tracked, doxed, arrested, or in any other way impeded in their duties?” and got the following chart.

LeaderPositionKey Statement/ActionContext/ImplicationDate/Source
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA)Ranking Member, House Oversight CommitteeAnnounced plans for a “master ICE Tracker” website to “systematically document abuse and civil rights violations” by ICE, including “every single instance we can verify” of operations. Clarified it’s not for live locations but for post-incident records.Critics (e.g., AG Pam Bondi, Rep. Brian Steil) called this “doxxing” and a “target on ICE agents’ backs,” potentially exposing operations and agents. DHS warned it endangers officers.Oct. 22, 2025
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)House Democratic LeaderStated Democrats will identify masked ICE agents “no matter what it takes” during raids, vowing to “dox every ICE agent” to ensure accountability.Interpreted as a direct call to reveal agent identities, amid rising threats. ICE Director Todd Lyons said this invites violence; Sen. Marsha Blackburn cited it in anti-doxxing legislation.June 3, 2025 [post:46][post:52][post:55]
Mayor Freddie O’Connell (D-TN)Mayor of NashvilleReleased a public report naming federal ICE agents involved in local operations, tracking incidents between ICE and city officials.

Resulted in threats and a federal investigation.May-June 2025
Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA)U.S. House MemberAccused by DHS of doxxing an ICE agent during a Carpinteria raid by publicizing details, inciting a riot that sent the agent to the ER. Denied it, calling it “oversight” of “disproportionate force.”DHS claimed it distorted events and led to assaults; part of a 700% rise in attacks blamed on Democratic rhetoric.July 14, 2025
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ)U.S. House MemberPhysically intervened during an ICE arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at a detention facility, allegedly assaulting agents by pushing and grabbing them. Indicted on federal charges for impeding officers; called charges “absurd” and vowed to continue oversight.Video shows physical scuffle; DHS accused her of “body slamming” an officer. She framed it as defending against “intimidation.”May 9, 2025
Reps. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) & Jerry Nadler (D-NY)U.S. House MembersIntroduced the “No Masks for ICE” bill to ban masks and require agents to show IDs during operations, arguing anonymity enables misconduct.Critics called it a doxxing mandate, allowing “intimidation” by revealing identities. DHS linked it to threats.June 2025 [post:44]
Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA)U.S. House MemberCo-signed letter to DHS demanding info on masked ICE agents, calling for identification during arrests to prevent “bad actors” exploiting anonymity.Part of broader push for unmasking; experts say it erodes agent safety amid doxxing threats.July 25, 2025
State Sen. Analise Ortiz (D-AZ)Arizona State SenatorShared Instagram post warning of ICE near a school (no names/locations specified), urging vigilance. Faced expulsion calls and threats after Libs of TikTok accused her of “doxxing live locations” and impeding arrests.Framed as community alert; Republicans filed ethics complaint, claiming it endangers agents.Sept. 7, 2025
Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ)U.S. House MemberJoined McIver and others in “storming” an ICE facility for oversight; accused by DHS of assaulting officers during Baraka’s arrest. Denied it, calling DHS threats “intimidation.”Part of group confrontation; DHS released bodycam footage showing pushes.May 9, 2025
NY State Sen. James Paris (D-CT)Connecticut State SenatorPosted on social media about ICE enforcement in his district, urging residents to “remain vigilant” (no specifics). ICE/DHS reposted Libs of TikTok claim of “doxxing live location” and impeding arrests, leading to racist threats.Aimed at warning constituents; ICE called it evasion aid. Similar to Ortiz case.Aug. 19, 2025
Brad Lander (D-NY)NYC Comptroller & Mayoral CandidateArrested by ICE for physically shielding an undocumented immigrant from arrest in a courthouse, walking arm-in-arm to block agents.

Posted video of Democrats protesting ICE arrests, calling tactics “unacceptable.” Introduced bill to ban such detentions.Frames as anti-kidnapping oversight; indirectly impedes by highlighting “illegal actions” and rallying opposition.Feb.-Sept. 2025 [post:39][post:40][post:41][post:42]

Additional Context

  • Broader Trends: Multiple Democratic attorneys general (e.g., AZ’s Kris Mayes) and mayors (e.g., LA’s Karen Bass) have pushed for unmasking laws, citing impersonator risks but drawing doxxing backlash . A group of Democratic AGs urged Congress to ban ICE masks .
  • No Direct Arrest Calls: While no leader explicitly said “arrest ICE agents” en masse, figures like Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) appeared on Fox News suggesting arrests for specific misconduct . Most focus on accountability via lawsuits or investigations .
  • Counter-Claims: Democrats deny doxxing intent, emphasizing transparency (e.g., Garcia’s tracker is “routine oversight” ). MSNBC and NYT reports note Trump’s DHS often mischaracterizes criticism as incitement without evidence .
  • Consequences: These statements correlate with indictments (e.g., three women for chasing/posting an agent’s address ) and a DHS tip line for doxxing reports . ICE reports 1,000% assault increase, blaming rhetoric .

WHITE HOUSE: I saw this posted on Facebook labeled as a photo from when Obama supposedly demolished part of the White House to put in an indoor basketball court at taxpayers’ expense.

Fact Check 1: The photo is actually from 1934 when FDR had the West Wing enlarged, because his staff had outgrown the original space, which had been built in 1902 by Theodore Roosevelt and funded by taxpayers.

Fact Check 2: Obama did not have an indoor basketball court built; he merely had the existing, outdoor tennis court converted. The court had been put in by Theodore Roosevelt, also in 1902. Unlike the West Wing renovation, it was funded by private donations from his friends and supporters.

GRAMMY NOTES: Forgive me for tooting my own horn here. But I am just so pleased with how this card I made for Mama Buzz’s birthday turned out! She loves frogs and collects stamps, so I looked up where red-eyed tree frogs live and what they eat, then I went shopping for a stamp that matched and found one on Etsy. 🙂 The tree branch is brown packing paper that I layered with wheat paste. The paste is very wet, which makes the paper swell. When it dries, it shrinks back with wrinkles that look just like tree bark. I painted it a nice brown that went well with my frog and those leaves (which I bought), then cut out the shape I wanted and glued it all together. Oh, I also put colored pencil under the frog to match the quilling. ❤

A Brief History of the White House

Above is a rendering of James Hoban’s 1792 design for the first presidential home.

President Thomas Jefferson added colonnades (covered walkways) to the east and west sides of the building to connect the main residence to service buildings. Jefferson’s opponents criticized the cost and design.

On August 24, 1814, British troops torched the building, destroying all but the outer walls.

The South Portico was constructed in 1824 under President James Monroe.

The North Portico was constructed in 1829-1830, under President Andrew Jackson. Again, opponents criticized the cost and design of the additions. Ironically, the design for the North Portico had been done by James Hoban as part of his original design.

This is how the North facade of the building looked in 1860.

In 1881 to 1883 President Chester Arthur hired Louis Comfort Tiffany to redecorate the worn décor of the interior. Critics accused Arthur of turning the White House into a “palace” unfit for a democratic leader. In Congress, Democrats decried the expenditure as wasteful. The Tiffany decorations were later removed or modified by subsequent presidencies, reflecting shifting tastes.

In 1902, President T. Roosevelt expanded the facility to give his large family more living space in the residence. The executive offices were moved to a new West Wing, while a new East Wing was built for social events and guests.

The photo above was taken in 1903. It shows First Son Archie Roosevelt on his pet horse, Algonquin, in front of the new West Wing.

The photo above was taken in 1906, showing the East entrance to the newly expanded Executive Mansion.

In 1909, President William Howard Taft expanded the West Wing. The photo above shows him sitting in the newly built Oval Office.

In 1929, not long after the stock market crashed, a fire damaged the roof, attic, and floors of the West Wing. Renovations were completed in 1930.

In 1934, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had the Oval Office (shown above) moved to its present location in the southeast corner of the building, next to the Rose Garden. To accommodate the expanding presidential staff, the basement was expanded and a second story added.

When President Harry Truman moved into the White House in 1945, he noticed large areas of cracking plaster and unusual popping and creaking noises. Engineers conducted a survey and confirmed that the White House’s structural integrity was compromised. One architect worried the whole building might collapse.

Truman ordered a complete renovation that would retain the original sandstone walls, the Third Floor and the roof, while removing and then rebuilding the interiors on a skeleton of steel structural beams with a new concrete foundation. Two levels of sub-basements under the North Portico were constructed and the Grand Staircase was changed significantly. For three years, President Truman and his family lived in Blair House (aka the President’s Guest House), across from the White House.

During the renovations, Truman had a second story porch added above the South Portico to allow the First Family to go outdoors directly from the residence. This was the last major exterior renovation until President Trump’s current addition of a ballroom on the East end. But all along the way, there have been interior alterations and improvements. All told, 39 of our 46 presidents have changed the Executive Mansion in some way. Trump is just the latest.

JAMES: [7:40] – On October 9, 2025, a federal grand jury indicted Letitia James on bank fraud and false statements charges related to a Norfolk, Virginia property she purchased in August 2020. The indictment alleges James made different representations about the same property to different entities — all under penalty of perjury or with binding legal consequences.

  1. On August 17, 2020, James signed a Second Home Rider declaring, under penalty of perjury, that she and she alone would occupy the Norfolk, Virginia property.
  2. On her 2020 to 2024 IRS, she listed the Norfolk, Virginia property as “rental real estate“ with “zero personal use days” and reported income from rent, minus expenses.
  3. On her NY State disclosure forms, she called it “investment” property.
  4. In 2020, she applied for insurance on the Norfolk, Virginia property, declaring it “owner-occupied non-seasonal use.“

MEDIA: Court documents allege that Mahmoud Amin Ya’qub al-Muhtadi was an operative for a paramilitary group in Gaza that fought alongside Hamas during the deadly invasion of Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. He gained entry to the United States through Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Sept. 12, 2024 where he lied on his visa application.

NO KINGS: Fox News reports that George Soros’ foundation helped bankroll the events.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Make us wise as serpents in our ability to see the dangers facing our great nation and grant us the graces we need to respond to them in Your will. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

PROPAGANDA: The latest left-wing talking point is that “anarchy” is like Mom’s Apple Pie. Example from today’s X thread about the Antifa charges reported above: “They’re anything but anarchists. Anarchy comes from Latin: an archia. In English: Without rulers. It doesn’t mean chaos, rioting or violence. Language matters and linguistic corruption is a form of subversion.”

I googled “anarchy definition” and got back this.

  1. Absence of any form of political authority.
  2. Political disorder and confusion.
  3. Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.

SOCIAL SECURITY: Our monthly checks are protected and will continue to arrive. However, the shutdown is slowing or stopping other services provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA), such as in-person services, claims processing, and appeals.

GRAMMY NOTES: Mama Buzz shared this about a woman she knows. “She was telling us how she gets migraines and when she started offering them up in prayer, she also tries to hold off on taking anything for the pain because she wants to have more to offer up. And later she told me she had realized she had often been critical of Pope Francis but rarely remembered to pray for him. So now, she decided anything related to her head, she offers up for the head of our Church and since she started doing that, she actually gets excited when she feels a migraine coming in! Talking about joyful suffering! I am so inspired!” (P.S., the photo above is not a Mascot. It’s from the internet.)
