Anti-ICE protests in Newark, New Jersey, are exposing a much larger problem than opposition to one detention facility. The demonstrations show how organized left-wing groups, labor activists and even teachers unions are joining forces to fight President Trump’s immigration agenda.
On the latest episode of The Patriot Perspective, the hosts discussed the protests outside the Newark ICE facility and the broader movement behind them.
The concern is not simply that activists are protesting. Americans have a right to protest. The concern is that these demonstrations appear to be part of a larger political machine designed to pressure law enforcement, defend illegal immigration and undermine the Trump administration’s deportation efforts.
One of the most concerning developments is the involvement of teachers unions.
Teachers unions are supposed to represent educators and focus on schools, classrooms and students.
Instead, union activists increasingly appear at protests that have nothing to do with education. Their presence at anti-ICE demonstrations shows how far these organizations have moved away from their original purpose and how deeply they have become involved in partisan politics.
That should concern every parent in America.
Public schools across the country face serious problems. Students are struggling with reading and math. Discipline problems have increased in many classrooms. Parents are frustrated with ideological curriculum, failing schools and education bureaucracies that resist reform.
