When a problem gets too big for any individual or organization to handle, it behooves them to ask for help. That’s exactly what Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is doing in their latest move to empower local law enforcement in their mission to capture and detail criminal illegal immigrants.
NEW: ICE announces program allowing local law enforcement officers to enforce immigration detainer requests even if the officers are prohibited from cooperating with ICE due to state and local policies. https://t.co/CwcnZUwHok

The move, intended as a workaround in sanctuary cities, is one that is drawing criticism from the left. But ICE stands by their move.
“Policies that limit cooperation with ICE undermine public safety, prevent the agency from executing its federally mandated mission and increase the risks for officers forced to make at-large arrests in unsecure locations,” Acting ICE Director Matthew Albence said in a statement.
Opinion
This will come down to individual officers and departments deciding whether the want to do the bidding of their local politicians or if they want to defend their communities. It should be a no-brainer, but in recent years even the apolitical arena of law enforcement has been infiltrated by leftist political motivations.
Thankfully, many if not most law enforcement officers and departments recognize the need to keep their communities safe as a higher priority than obeying their progressive political leaders.
ICE and CBP need help. The federal government is being held back by the leftist mentality that doesn’t even acknowledge the crisis exists. Turning to local law enforcement is a smart and necessary move.

Final Thoughts
The struggle between the right’s attempts to stop illegal immigration and the left’s efforts to keep the flow going strong is bringing in new players. Will local law enforcement generally react well to this move? My money is on “yes.”
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
