A heated discussion unfolded on War Room as co-host Natalie Winters and Steve Bannon delved into the systematic undermining of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations by left-wing activists.

During the broadcast, Winters highlighted how mainstream media outlets, in conjunction with progressive NGOs, were actively working to derail immigration enforcement efforts. “The mainstream media in concert with these far-left NGOs are actively working to sabotage President Trump’s mass deportation agenda. And we are seeing this pattern replicate in State after State, city after city, and raid after raid,” Winters said.

The conversation shifted to concerns about internal resistance, with Bannon expressing alarm over potential leaks from within federal agencies. “That’s stunning. I mean somebody inside of DHS or Tom Homan’s group or whatever, what you call the embeds, actually gave the report, gave the plan. This is what happened in Chicago. They are giving the plans to the media in advance, the media publishes them, then the raid is cancelled,” Bannon said.

Former ICE Director Tom Homan, featured in a Fox News clip, addressed these sabotage attempts with stern warnings. “They may find themselves in a pair of handcuffs very soon. So, working with DOJ on that, get some legal guidance on that,” Homan said.

He emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating, “We are not gonna tolerate anymore. This is not a game. When we show up at these sites, this is a dangerous job for the men and women of ICE and Border Patrol and all the DOJ agencies. To have this type of interference puts our officers at great risk. Not only the officers, it puts the aliens at great risk.”

Bannon referenced recent enforcement statistics and White House intentions. “The New York post is reporting that there have been 11,000 in these raids so far. 11,000 of the bad hombres have been rolled up. I know President Trump what I’m hearing coming out of the White House is that he wants bigger numbers, and he wants bigger numbers faster and this is why they brought Gitmo online. They have a huge problem with logistics, they have a huge problem with money and cash,” Bannon said.

Winters shared her firsthand encounter with anti-ICE materials in Washington, DC. “I was actually walking around in DC yesterday and I stumbled upon one of these flyers that says, ‘do not open for ICE,'” Winters said.

She further detailed the contents of a deportation defense guide that instructs individuals on evading immigration authorities. “They are pretty aggressive. It’s not just saying you know, lie to ICE or don’t open the door. They are saying actively like lie about your immigration status, conceal your identity. If they are knocking at your door, even if you are a criminal, you don’t have to comply. Fun fact, the group that created that document on screen has received over 16 million dollars in Federal grants,” Winters said.

“The issue too I think here it’s not just these far-left groups, it’s really the mainstream media that is amplifying right, without, they are putting gasoline on the fire,” Winters continued.
