As Democrats continue to cause mass hysteria surrounding Immigration and Customs Enforcement, they also appear to forget what their beliefs were in 2008, when President Obama was the one sending out ICE agents on raids.“Let’s get in the time traveling machine. Let’s go back in time to just some years ago under the Obama administration in Chicago where CNN of all places, CNN actually did a ride along with ICE,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains.“And you will notice something about this report, this special report ride along, is that it’s actually very positive for ICE,” she adds.The report tastefully shows ICE arresting illegal immigrants, who are shockingly not being harassed by protesters.“There’s no signs about ICE. There’s no one coming over blowing their whistles. There’s no one following journalists. There’s no one following CNN and going, ‘ICE is here. Don’t come out. ICE,’” Gonzales comments, surprised.“It was all totally fine until ‘orange man bad.’ It was all fine. Now I would also like to just remind all of these leftists who apparently need a reminder that it was fine when Obama was doing it, it was fine when Obama was doing it,” she says.In 2025, there were 605,000 deportations under President Trump and 1.9 million self-deportations for a total of 2.5 million deportations. Under Barack Obama, there were over three million deportations.“Now President Trump, I believe, will at the end of his second term, of course, he will have more deportations than Barack Obama. But as it stands now, Barack Obama sent out more than three million people. Actually more than his predecessor George W. Bush,” Gonzales explains.“This was one of the things that he was very strong on and very unapologetic on,” she continues, before playing a clip of Obama explaining his position.“We’ve had five million undocumented workers come over the borders since George Bush took office. It has become an extraordinary problem, and the reason the American people are concerned is because they are seeing their own economic position slip away,” Obama said on CNN in 2008.“And often times, employers are exploiting these undocumented workers. They’re not paying the minimum wage. They’re not observing worker safety laws. As president, I will make sure that we finally have the kind of border security that we need. That’s step number one,” he continued.“Step number two is to take on employers. Right now, an employer has more of a chance of getting hit by lightning than be prosecuted for hiring an undocumented worker. That has to change. They have to be held accountable,” he added.“The Barack Obama in 2008 that said illegals need to go home and employers should be penalized for employing illegals would never get elected in today’s Democrat Party,” Gonzales comments, adding, “Never. Never. That’s how far the Democrats have shifted on this, that’s how far they’ve gone.”Want more from Sara Gonzales?To enjoy more of Sara's no-holds-barred takes on news and culture, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Blaze News captured more exclusive footage of hysterical anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after the lethal shooting of Renee Good.One particularly passionate protester says he was a U.S. Air Force veteran and reads from a prepared statement. He wears a jacket with transgender flags as well as a Hello Kitty decoration.'You ain't s**t! Put your badge down! I'll fight you!'"I'm protesting what was done to Renee Good. I am protesting what was done to George Floyd, to Leonard Peltier, to Trayvon Martin, and to all those who have suffered violence and injustice from the hands of fascism!" he says."I am Charlotte Sanders, and I use she/her/her pronouns. I am a liberal, leftist, pagan, lesbian, transgender woman, and witch! My deadname is Matthew Tyler Sanders, but I am Charlotte," he continues."I stand here today to go up against the violent injustices done to everyone like Renee Nicole Good, George Floyd Jr., Leonard Peltier, and Trayvon Martin," the man says. "I am here to stand up and fight against fascism, tyranny, systematic oppression, xenophobia, racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, and hate! I am here to stand up against the bullies and cowards!"He goes on to say that he had suffered from psoriatic arthritis as well as cancer that were caused by "psychological and emotional" trauma."We must take a stand against fascism and hate!" he concludes. "We must annihilate fascism and hate."He says he was protesting in order to protect his "LGBTQIA2S+ chosen family and community."RELATED: Unhinged anti-ICE extremists hurl profanities at agents in Minneapolis: 'Get the f**k out!' In later parts of the video, protesters follow federal troops and chant at them to leave the city."Look at your ugly ass smiles, ohhh!" says one female protester."You guys hate America, right," says a male protester to the troops. "You think you love it, but you f**king hate it. This is the First Amendment. What are you guys doing?! You should be joining us! A f**king woman was shot in the face!"Another male protester has a message for President Donald Trump."Do you have any heart? Do you have any heart? Do you have any soul? Especially if you are Christian," the man says. "How can you say any of this is Christian? It's not in any way!"One protester's sign equated Trump to Hitler and adds, "The blood is on your hands!!"The video ended with crazed epithet-filled screaming against ICE officers at the facility in Minneapolis."I say f**k ICE! If they want a piece, come and f**king get it!" adds Matthew Sanders in a last snippet.RELATED: Shocking cellphone video of Minneapolis lethal shooting from ICE agent's perspective released — and JD Vance reacts In a second video captured by Blaze News, a protester threatens to fight officers on the streets of Minneapolis."You ain't s**t! Put your badge down! I'll fight you!" the man says. "And if you want to see me, we can go get into my trunk, and we can do something different! You wanna take it like that? None of you got vests on! I clocked that s**t, homie!""How old were you when your mommy dropped you on your head?!" screams a female protester.Another protester makes an extended analogy comparing Trump to the emperor character in the "Star Wars" franchise. He says he isn't a fan of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), but he opposes the ICE surge. "If they can put away the fraudsters, great!" the man adds. "But is [an] ICE agent tackling some kid bringing shopping carts into Target, is that helping tackle fraud? I don't think so." In another scene from the city, a woman screams at officers as they appear to back away from protesters. "Get the f**k out of here, piggy! You don't belong here! You don't belong here!" she yells. "Are you guys scared? Are you guys scared of our little cardboard sign?!" The video ends with a protester running with a Somali flag in front of assembled troops as another protester screams incoherently. A previous Blaze News video with exclusive protester footage was published Jan. 9 and can still be viewed online. Like Blaze News?
