R.I. State Rep Calls ICE Agents Nazi Thugs for Arresting MS-13 Gang Member
The New American ^ | July 16, 2025 | R. Cort Kirkwood

A drunk-driving Rhode Island state representative called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents Nazis after the arrest of a confessed MS-13 terror gang member whom the politician called a “neighbor.”

Enrique Sanchez, who represents Providence in the state’s House, slammed the agents on X, apparently unaware just whom he was defending.

Sanchez’s incendiary comment is of a piece with those of other far-left Democrats who have accused ICE agents of Nazi or Gestapo tactics. Such labeling, federal authorities say, is the reason agents are facing a more-than 800-percent increase in assaults.

Arrest and Reaction

The occasion of Sanchez’s deranged outburst was ICE’s arrest of a cultural enricher named Ivan Rene Mendoza Meza. The 27-year-old Honduran illegal is, again, an MS-13 terror gang member. Fox News reported:

ICE sources told Fox News that during the operation, Mendoza attempted to flee, causing a crash by striking ICE vehicles before running into his apartment. He was eventually surrounded and surrendered to agents.

Mendoza was seen smirking in his arrest photo, seeming to be unfazed by his capture. 

Mendoza has a history of criminal activity, including fentanyl trafficking charges in Rhode Island. ICE Boston had previously lodged an immigration detainer against him following those charges in August 2023. However, the 6th District Court of Rhode Island declined to honor the detainer, releasing Mendoza without notifying ICE, forcing agents to locate and arrest him in the community.

None of this bothered Sanchez.

“The Nazi Gestapo ICE thugs kidnapped another of our neighbor in Providence this morning,” he wrote on X:

This time on Alverson st. 

The ICE thugs damaged a couple cars that belonged to residents as well. They think they are above the law. I strongly condemn this act of terror...

The MS-13 gangster IS a neighbor of the illegal aliens that American(not) Enrique Sanchez represents.

ICE needs to investigate this maggot’s history. Sounds like a POS illegal alien America-hater to me. Deport his ying yang.

Enrique Sanchez, Tim Tampon, Scrawny Mamdani, , Ilhan Omar, Rasheda Tlaib and this Somalian Omar Fateh freak are all reasons why the “democrat” party has only an 18% approval rate today.

The GOP better start airing these clips along with these constituents thinking that ICE is a bad thing. The American people have the mind of a goldfish, so by the time midterms kicks into full gear, it’ll bury any Democrat policies six feet under. If they have any, I haven’t seen any Democrat policies.

“The Nazi Gestapo ICE thugs kidnapped...”


I’m surprised that the word ‘kidnapped’ hasn’t become standard for everyone arrested for any crime.

“My neighbor was kidnapped by the sheriff for drunk driving. Karmelo was kidnapped by police for stabbing Austin Metcalf”.

Nazi thugs of Germany would customarily murder many of those whom they would arrest. Not happening in the US, just arresting the law breakers and locking them up and shipping them out. I’d call them good and patriotic servants of US law.

Ice agents need to assemble a class action civil suit to sue all these individuals into homelessness and beyond.
