The liberal media has once again exposed its radical agenda, this time by openly justifying violence against federal law enforcement. Joyce Vance, a former Obama-appointed U.S. Attorney and MSNBC contributor, appeared on the network and shamelessly suggested that attacking ICE agents could be considered a “lawful right of self-defense.” Her inflammatory remarks came in response to ICE agents wearing masks—a commonsense measure to protect themselves and their families from left-wing extremists who have repeatedly targeted them.
During her MSNBC appearance, Vance argued:
“You know, the danger to law enforcement, quite frankly, is that when you’re masked like that and people don’t know who you are, someone might exercise their lawful right of self-defense to protect themselves, thinking they’re being kidnapped. So the notion that this is for law enforcement’s protection is utterly ludicrous.”
This twisted logic ignores the reality that ICE agents are facing unprecedented threats from violent leftist mobs. The left’s demand that ICE unmask isn’t about transparency—it’s about making federal officers and their families vulnerable to harassment, doxxing, and physical attacks. The liberal media, which spent years fearmongering about nonexistent Tea Party violence, is now openly encouraging assaults on law enforcement. The hypocrisy is staggering.
President Donald Trump has consistently stood with ICE and Border Patrol, recognizing their critical role in maintaining national security. While the left demonizes these brave men and women, Trump has reinforced their mission to uphold the law and protect American communities from criminal illegal aliens. The left’s rhetoric isn’t just irresponsible—it’s an incitement to chaos, designed to destabilize the country ahead of the 2024 election.

Ali Velshi, the MSNBC host, set the stage for Vance’s dangerous comments by asking:
“You’re a prosecutor, I want to ask you, there are legitimate reasons why some enforcement agencies, some police agencies, go undercover or, you know, do things in shadows to achieve certain things. I would assume that’s specific and, you know, it needs to comport with some laws.”
Vance’s response was a thinly veiled endorsement of vigilante violence, framing masked ICE agents as indistinguishable from kidnappers. This is the same media that spent years lecturing conservatives about “respecting the rule of law,” yet now they’re openly advocating for mob justice.
The left’s war on law enforcement is part of a broader agenda to dismantle America’s institutions. President Trump, in contrast, has made it clear that his administration will always back the men and women who keep our borders secure. While Democrats and their media allies stoke division, Trump remains focused on restoring order and defending the brave officers who risk their lives every day.
This braindead goofy bitch judge has ZERO common sense!! She should be yanked off the bench and lose her law license!! What a moron! Attacks against ICE agents are up 830% according to recent info. ICE agents are being doxed, and they are now in imminent danger as well as their families are in danger! So, they MUST wear masks in order to try to keep MS13 and tren de aragua gangs from hunting they or family members to be slaughtered like sheep!! This judge is beyond ignorant!! Kick her OFF the bench immediately…… Sickening!!!
I must remind this ignorant POS, next time there is a “peaceful protest and the protesters are wearing masks. We certainly will take your advice and exercise our right to protect ourselves and loved ones.”
Please, please, please put on a mask and come to my neighborhood. Got a surprise for you.
I think that the ICE agents should not risk their own safety or that of their families. So from now on, instead of arresting the criminal illegals, just shoot them and be “done with ’em”. Same response for violent protestors.
Maybe people who thought she was wrong and that she didnt value ices rights . Maybe they should go to her house and protest what she said and tell her how they feel about what she said.
AAAHHHhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, pathetic liberal.
Time for the call of “weapons free” to combat the anarchist. Start with the ones waving Mexican flags on U.S. soil. Dox all of the Dumbs providing info about our ICE agents or at least bring them up on charges of endangering Law Enforcement officials. All of the hate America First liberal turds need to be voted out of any and all offices.
