Sanctuary States, Sleeper Cells, and a Nation on the Brink
[Townhall] Last week, in what is being called the largest-ever ICE enforcement operation, nearly 1,500 illegal foreign nationals were arrested—most of them hiding in so-called "sanctuary" jurisdictions. That’s not just a number. That’s a blunt warning: there are thousands more just like them—living, working, and perhaps plotting among us, thanks to open-border ideologues and their enablers in blue-state leadership.

These weren’t friendly tourists who overstayed a visa to see the Statue of Liberty one more time. These were criminal aliens—some with convictions for rape, murder, kidnapping, and terror-related charges. They were swept up in Democrat-run strongholds like California, Illinois, and New York, where the local governments actively thwart federal immigration enforcement.

Let that sink in: Your government is risking your life to score cheap political points.

The operation was described as a "major success" by top Homeland Security officials under Secretary Kristi Noem, who has brought a radically different tone and urgency to the department since taking over. Unlike her predecessor Alejandro Mayorkas—who presided over record-setting illegal crossings and national security apathy—Noem has made it clear: illegal entry will not be ignored, and criminal aliens will not be protected by politics.

But the deeper question lingers like a storm cloud over our national security: Is it enough?
