Is ICE doing necessary work or are enforcement tactics going too far? Three panelists weigh in on immigration enforcement, deaths, the risks ICE agents face, and whether current tactics strike the right balance. Stephen Kruiser (@stephenkruiser) says ICE is doing “God’s work,” fighting what he describes as a cancer in society that metastasized under the Biden administration. Jennifer Van Laar (@jenvanlaar) argues that many people ICE detains have deportation orders. She also challenges the claim that detainees without violent records pose no threat, pointing to DUIs and recounting more than a dozen deaths she encountered as a court reporter in North Carolina in the 1990s involving illegal immigrants who drove drunk. Chris Queen (@ChrisQueen) suggests replacing large-scale sweeps with more targeted operations to find the people ICE is looking for more effectively. Where do you stand?

🚨 THIS WEEK ON THE RABBI’S TABLE @jenvanlaar(RedState), @ChrisQueen (PJ Media), and @stephenkruiser (PJ Media) tackle a double standard on the right and left. If Democrats condemn candidates for their ties to Hassan Piker, shouldn’t Republicans scrutinize JD Vance’s relationship with Tucker Carlson? Chris Queen weighs in: the right has been more willing to condemn Carlson than the left has been to condemn Piker. He adds that Carlson and those in his orbit can no longer be called conservative or MAGA. Is there a double standard when it comes to political alliances?
