The Denver Post just lit a fire under some progressive behinds by reporting that ICE wants to add up to 950 new detention beds near Denver to deal with—you guessed it—illegal aliens who’ve committed actual crimes. The article lays it all out: ICE needs space, and oh look—the ACLU’s throwing one of its trademark hissy fits.
The Bullet Point Brief
- ICE actually trying to enforce immigration law—how dare they!
- Up to 950 new detention beds potentially going in northern Colorado. Cue liberal outrage.
- The Hudson facility? It’s toured, tested, and totally ready.
- Everyone screams about due process until it means actually processing criminals through the system.
- ACLU thinks detaining people who broke the law = human rights violation. Must be a day ending in ‘Y.’
My Bottom Line
For once, we’ve got some sanity trying to sneak past the bureaucratic clowns. ICE wants extra bed space within a two-hour drive of their field offices because—brace yourselves—they’re enforcing immigration laws like they’re paid to do. And if you’ve been paying attention for longer than a CNN soundbite, you know this ain’t about rounding up grandma for jaywalking. They’re talking about detaining illegal aliens linked to actual criminal acts. You commit a crime here illegally? You don’t get a bus ticket and an apology—you get due process and maybe a one-way ticket home. It’s called enforcing the law. Radical concept, right?
Now enter stage left: the ACLU, clutching their pearls because ICE has the gall to use facilities that are… already built. I’m aware of that Hudson detention center here in Weld County—it ain’t Club Med, but it’s solid, secure, humane, and more than ready for prime time. It’s perfect for ICE’s needs, and they’d be welcome here in Weld. Don’t let these activist scare tactics fool you; there’s more dignity in giving someone due process in a working facility than ignoring the law altogether while pretending that chaos equals compassion.
Bottom line? If your first instinct is to defend someone who broke U.S. immigration law and committed another crime while here illegally—while bashing law enforcement for doing its job—you might be part of the problem. Enforcing immigration laws isn’t xenophobic; it’s what sovereign nations do. We fix this mess by shutting off the revolving door and fixing what’s broken—not by pretending border enforcement is evil whenever someone other than Biden does something about it.
