Back to Videos David Sacks: Media Coverage Masks Organized, Politically-Motivated Interference With ICE Posted By Tim Hains On Date February 1, 2026 "All-In Podcast" host David Sacks makes an argument about how the media is framing President Trump's deportation operations:
DAVID SACKS: The deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are regrettable and tragic. So are the deaths of Laken Riley and too many others to mention, who were murdered by criminal illegal aliens. And the media won't ever tell you their names.But President Trump was hired by the American people to do a job: to seal the border and deport criminal aliens so that more of these tragedies do not occur in the future. This is a popular policy. 55% of the American people say they want all illegal aliens deported, and over 90% want criminal aliens deported. And by "criminal aliens," we mean the ones who commit additional crimes after they enter the country illegally.
This policy is working. Murders are down 20% from last year -- that's one of the best years on record. And in most states, the process is smooth and doesn't make national news. The reason for that is that local authorities are cooperating with ICE.
Minneapolis has taken a different approach, they've engaged in a campaign of "massive resistance" to federal authority. So let's talk about what is actually happening on the ground there.
The first thing to understand is that what is happening is much more than protests. Obviously, I have no problem with people peacefully protesting and making their opinions known. That's not what is happening here. These are Antifa-style operations designed to thwart enforcement of federal immigration law. They are highly organized, they communicate in encrypted chat groups, they stalk and...

This is why it’s so hard to argue with leftist shills. They have no idea any of this is going on or if they do do know they greatly minimize it’s impact and the extent it’s being done.
Yes. “Such as it is...” See Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s quote about the media.
Well, of course! They’re a big part of the the “organized, politically motivated” cabal!
Why would they want to expose themselves?
“Yes. “Such as it is...” See Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s quote about the media.”
More Solzhenitsyn, what he wrote about crime and criminals in the Soviet Union. The Left is there now. They like the criminals and want the crime. “Socially friendly elements” and revolutionary acts.
“They have no idea any of this is going on or if they do do know they greatly minimize it’s impact and the extent it’s being done.”
I think it’s worse than that. They don’t want serious law enforcement, at least not the kind we want. They want the crime, squalor, and disorder.
Meanwhile, Bad Bunny upon receiving the the Best Música Urbana Album award at the 68th GRAMMY Awards gave a pointed political message that protested the recent actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Bad Bunny began his speech saying, “Before I say thanks to God, I’m gonna say: ICE out!”
The crowd inside the show, which took place in Los Angeles, overwhelmingly responded with cheers “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens,” he said. “We are humans and we are Americans.”
After pausing while the audience applauded, Bad Bunny continued: “I know it’s tough not to hate on these days, and I was thinking, sometimes we get contaminados – I don’t know how to say that in English – the hate gets more powerful with more hate.”
Billie Eilish also spoke out against ICE on stage at the Grammys, but viewers at home did not hear the full extent of her comments.
While accepting the Grammy for song of the year for “Wildflower,” Eilish, who has been an outspoken critic of actions made by ICE officials in recent weeks, said “no one is illegal on stolen land.” “It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now,” she continued, going on to encourage everyone to “keep fighting and speaking up and protesting.”
The end of her speech was bleeped by television censors but, according to video footage posted online, Eilish said, “F**k ICE.”
In my opinion, the Left thinks they are not bound to the rule of law—just MAGA.
Pro-Publica is doxxing the ICE agents involved with Oh-So-Pretti, the violent little scumbag.
I’m old enough to remember when it took WEEKS to find out the true story about Murderin’ Michael Byrd.
