Tom Steyer announces plan to jail ICE agents, calls agency a ‘violent extremist group’
ktla ^ | Apr 15, 2026 | Brett Stover

Posted on 04/15/2026 7:32:41 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Steyer’s five-part plan includes passing stronger legislation to combat racial profiling, appointing a special task force to prosecute crimes at detention facilities and launching a “Know Your Rights” public awareness campaign.

Additionally, he promised to “bring those detained and kidnapped by ICE back home” by creating a stronger legal defense network to help immigrants.

The most attention-grabbing part of Steyer’s plan, though, is to give the attorney general power to prosecute ICE leadership. His plan cites the concept of “supervisory liability,” in which superior officers and agency leaders are held liable for actions they direct subordinates to do.

The plan drew immediate condemnation from conservatives, including gubernatorial rival Steve Hilton. The former Fox News commentator and Republican candidate released a statement Wednesday calling Steyer’s proposal “far-left extremism.”

“He is calling for federal agents to be targeted on the streets and thrown in jail for enforcing the law,” Hilton said. “That is incitement. It puts a target on the backs of the men and women in uniform and empowers the most radical anti-government extremists.”

This Tom Steyer really wants to pick a fight with the Federal government, doesn’t he?

Maybe the extension of the border with Mexico should be altered and sent right up the state boundaries of Arizona, Nevada, and Oregon where they abut California, and be built up in much the same manner and the US-Mexican border, with the Coast Guard on patrol on Lake Tahoe.

If California ever attempts to secede I think that the plan would be to let the Mexicans run wild in Cali for a month or two to teach the traitorous Americans there the folly of wokeness and then the military will come in and take out the entire government and civil service statewide.

I recall a time when I could point to Democrat politicians here and there who were not insane and were sometimes even principled.

I can’t think of even one, these days.

Just wall California off from the rest of the country, like the Hormuz blockade.

Tom Steyer. Not exactly born with a PLASTIC spoon in his mouth.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lINLnF6iXtM (The Who -Substitute)

A plastic spoon or a silver spoon? Yes. Steyer was born with a SILVER spoon in his mouth. And he pretends to understand what the lower level of society endure. BS.

From his wiki:
***Steyer was born on June 27, 1957, in Manhattan, New York City.[1] His mother, Marnie (née Fahr), was a teacher of remedial reading at the Brooklyn House of Detention and his father, Roy Henry Steyer, was a partner in the New York law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell[2][3] and was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.[4] His father was Jewish and his mother was Episcopalian.[1]

Steyer grew up on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and attended the Buckley School. He graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy as valedictorian of his class.[1] Steyer then graduated from Yale University summa cum laude in economics and political science. At Yale, he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, was captain of the soccer team, and was a member of the Wolf’s Head Society.[5] Steyer received his MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, where he was an Arjay Miller Scholar.[1][6]***

“Violent extremist group”

How about the group (Congress) that passed the laws that ICE is lawfully enforcing?
