The Democratic National Committee’s Resolutions Committee recently adopted a resolution in its party platform calling for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This was a change from its previous position, which had only called for reforming ICE.

Despite Americans’ frustration with Joe Biden’s de facto open-border policy, which resulted in a massive influx of illegal immigrants and helped Donald Trump secure a second presidential term, the DNC has effectively decided to double down.

The DNC’s apparent problem is the surging Democratic Socialists of America, which threatens to take over the Democrat Party. Interestingly, rather than differentiate and expunge the DSA from its party ranks, the DNC has done the opposite, placating the DSA. At the same time, establishment Democrat leaders like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries reject the group’s most radical leftist ideas.

As an example of DSA radicalism, New York congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier says that “all deportation is wrong” and argues for “a world without borders — just like a world without prisons or police — is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.”

Put simply, Democrats and the DSA both embrace globalism — it’s just that the DSA’s version is more direct and more Marxist.

This trajectory was entirely predictable. The Democrat Party adopted a leftist progressivist identity and agenda long ago. How, then, can establishment Democrats argue against increasingly radical demands when they are the logical result of the party’s chosen “progressive” course?

Boston’s Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu serves as an example of this dynamic. Self-declared as a “sanctuary city,” it’s not enough for Wu that Boston’s police force is barred from working with federal immigration enforcement. Wu is now warning that the city will come after any property owners who lease to ICE.

“We as a city will be filing another FOIA request for any responses that have come in from the Boston area so that we know what information they may be sifting through,” Wu explained in a recent interview with the Boston Herald. “We strongly oppose any expansion of their efforts here and would encourage and will be reaching out to property owners to try to make sure that they’re not adding to a surge of unlawful and dangerous activity.”

While she acknowledged that the city “can’t block private property [owners],” she threatened that city officials can contact them to tell them “this is not a way to make our community safer.” So very inclusive of them. “We look to find as much information as possible about what their plans are, what information they might be looking at in order to have the best possible response and protect our communities,” she added.

Obviously, Wu is not acting in the best interest of Boston’s legal residents. Instead, she, like the DNC, has just voted in favor of — and is openly expressing — a globalist worldview in which no one is “illegal.” This view is pervasive across many college campuses.

ICE responded to Wu’s comments via a post on X: “If PRIVATE citizens want to allow federal law enforcement onto their OWN property, they should be allowed to do so. They should not face threats from their radical mayor who shamelessly compared ICE agents to a neo-Nazi group.”

The silver lining here is that the DNC is publicly admitting its alignment with leftist anti-American radicals.
