Can we stop pretending this is about compassion? ICE is operating in red states too. About 24% of ICE arrests are happening in Texas, and you do not see coordinated mobs obstructing law enforcement there. So let’s ask the real question the agitators refuse to answer: do they want nicer deportations, or no deportations at all? A nation that refuses to enforce its laws is not loving the stranger. It is betraying its own people. This is the Daniel Cohen Show on RLN News, where we tell the truth, think clearly, and see the headlines through a biblical worldview.
The ICE Question Nobody Wants to Answer
Here is what the legacy media keeps selling you: that the people obstructing federal operations are peaceful observers, that the agitators are just “concerned citizens,” and that anyone who dies in the chaos automatically becomes a martyr.
No. We take no pleasure in anyone’s death, ever. Every human being is made in the image of God, and avoidable tragedy is still tragedy. But we also do not pretend violent behavior is virtue, and we do not let propaganda overwrite reality.
When someone brings a weapon to interfere with a federal law enforcement operation, that is not peaceful protest. When mobs swarm agents and try to break a perimeter, that is not compassion. And when politicians use religious language to canonize their preferred symbols, it reveals something deeper: the Left does not just want a policy change. They want a moral rewrite.
This is not a debate over “better deportations.” This is a demand for no enforcement at all.
And that is why the contrast matters. Texas cooperates with law enforcement. Sanctuary cities do not. In places like Minneapolis, leaders signal that obstruction is noble, and the street listens. Then the media arrives after the smoke clears and tells you what to believe.
They do not want you focused on the story. They want you to believe a story.
The Media’s Mythmaking Machine
Let’s talk about mythmaking, because it is everywhere now. You have politicians using language like “holy ground” to describe a vigil site. If you know your Bible, you know “holy ground” is not a political metaphor. In Exodus, it is the presence of the Lord. That kind of comparison is not only theologically confused, it is manipulative.
You have activists and sympathetic outlets framing obstruction as America at its best. Really? Since when is blocking lawful enforcement “the best of us”?
And then you have something even more blatant: the image crafting, the narrative polishing, the soft focus. There is a reason some outlets “clean up” the visuals, rewrite the biography, and skip inconvenient facts. It is marketing, not journalism.
When the media edits reality, it is not informing you. It is recruiting you.
If we are going to talk about justice, let’s be consistent. Wait for investigations. Demand facts. Reject language games. Stop rewarding the people who incite chaos and then act surprised when chaos shows up.
And Christians, hear me: do not let the media disciple you. You do not have to hate anyone to refuse deception. You do not have to celebrate suffering to insist on the rule of law.
California’s Crisis, Fraud, and the UN Double Standard
Now pivot to California, because while the cameras fixate on Minnesota, California is still collapsing under the weight of incompetence and corruption.
We just lived through catastrophic fires. Thousands of structures destroyed. Families displaced. And what did the state deliver? Delay. Red tape. A rebuild process so slow it feels like limbo by design. President Trump’s move to streamline federal involvement in the permitting and rebuild process is not “politics.” It is triage. People cannot rebuild their lives on speeches and press conferences.
Then there is the homelessness crisis. California keeps throwing money at the problem with shockingly little to show for it. Programs are announced. Budgets balloon. Streets get worse. Families feel less safe. And taxpayers keep paying.
When you add fraud on top of dysfunction, you get a system that rewards failure. That is why scrutiny matters. That is why oversight matters. That is why exposing waste matters.
And while we are talking about double standards, look at the UN. Condemnation after condemnation aimed at Israel, while tyrants and terror sponsors skate by. That is not “global justice.” That is bias with a microphone.
A culture that cannot tell the truth about borders, crime, and Israel will not be able to tell the truth about anything.
So here is the takeaway. Compassion is not the suspension of law. Compassion is not enabling chaos. Compassion is not lying to protect political power. Compassion starts with truth, and truth requires courage.
