Trump vows not to help blue cities with riots, instructs ICE and Border Patrol to protect federal property
Fox News ^ | January 31st, 2026 | By Alexandra Koch

President Donald Trump on Saturday announced the government will not assist blue cities with ongoing anti-immigration enforcement riots unless help is requested, adding he has instructed ICE and Border Patrol to be "very forceful" in the protection of federal property.

"I have instructed Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, that under no circumstances are we going to participate in various poorly run Democrat Cities with regard to their Protests and/or Riots unless, and until, they ask us for help," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

He clarified the federal government will, however, "guard, and very powerfully so, any and all Federal Buildings that are being attacked by these highly paid Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists."

...break...

"Remember that I stated, in the strongest of language, to BEWARE—ICE, Border Patrol or, if necessary, our Military, will be extremely powerful and tough in the protection of our Federal Property," he wrote. "We will not allow our Courthouses, Federal Buildings, or anything else under our protection, to be damaged in any way, shape, or form. I was elected on a Policy of Border Control (which has now been perfected!), National Security, and LAW AND ORDER—That’s what America wants, and that’s what America is getting!"

And what about the people funding the PAID Lunatics, Agitators, and Insurrectionists?

That is the idea I posted many times on this site.

Trump should ask each Mayor in this country if they want Federal agents in their city. If NO, announce that no agents will enter except federal buildings security. Illegals, gang members, rapists, robbers will know they will be safe there.

Retrenchment. Bring the marxist Antifwads back to Federal buildings, like Portland circa 2020. A shocking number of those FAFOr's went to prison.

That said, Insurrection Act would bring them out into the open everywhere. You do that and deploy water cannons in this crazy winter and you have unlimited win.

There's precedent too ... TrumpI used them to disperse the final Dakota Pipeline po'testors. In the dark. In the freezing cold.

Their goal is to keep up the "chaos" until the Midterms. After that? 2028 until they retake the White House.

Then things will be calm again and they'll force Elon Musk to sell X. And they'll probably ban FR.

That’s not flying. 2020 riots are still a bad taste in most mouths.

I think so. There's been a noticeable shift among minorities and more of them are voting GOP now. However, the Democrats are doing better with white folks especially AWFULs.

My city saw “dozens” of protesters this weekend with a handful of counter protestors, which didn’t happen last time. Last time, a counter protester would be mauled.

Last time, it almost destroyed the city. People aren’t playing games now. There are some murders in my city that would have been prevented had the criminals been shipped out.

Don’t ask.

Guaranteed these agitators are looking for parents willing to sacrifice their own children and have them shot by ICE. Loook at those illegals. They leave their child abandoned when they run. AWfULS bring their babies to the riots. They are so insane they’ll probably hang replica handguns and place phony bombs on baby carriage and push them in to ICE. Summer time I’m sure their children will be spraying ICE with realistic water guns or airsoft pistols. And Whoo boy.

“Sounds like Lincoln right before Fort Sumter.”

The relief force is outside the bar and Edmund Ruffin has the lanyard in his hand.
