America is waking up to the truth: the violent, well-coordinated mobs attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement are not spontaneous acts of conscience — they are organized campaigns propped up by money and media that want to see law enforcement neutered. Border czar Tom Homan told Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow that the Department of Justice is now tracking down the funders behind these organized anti-ICE actions, and that’s exactly the kind of muscle America needs to protect its officers and its communities. For too long the left’s mobs have been cheered on by pundits and pocketbooks while real Americans pay the price in crime and chaos.
Look at the violence in Los Angeles and other cities where ICE operations were met with fireworks, bottles and arson — that is not protest, that is an all-out assault on law and order meant to intimidate federal agents and the people they protect. Conservatives have been warning that these scenes are the result of deliberate agitation by radical groups whose only aim is to disrupt enforcement and undermine sovereignty. The DOJ pursuing not just the rioters but the networks that bankroll and coordinate them is long overdue and wholly justified; if you fund an operation designed to obstruct federal law enforcement, you should be held accountable.
This administration isn’t just talking tough — Homan and other officials have publicly urged the Justice Department to investigate media platforms and apps that facilitate evasion of law enforcement, like the ICEBlock app that was spotlighted by CNN. When an outlet or a tech tool effectively publishes a roadmap for criminals to dodge federal operations, it crosses from journalism into active facilitation of obstruction, and agencies must examine whether laws were broken. Americans tired of the soft-on-crime, soft-on-borders attitude should cheer when officials use every legal tool to protect ICE agents and citizens.
Homan has also taken the sensible step of asking DOJ to consider whether elected officials or public figures who actively instruct people how to evade ICE are impeding justice, pointing to the AOC webinar that advised migrants on asserting their rights during enforcement actions. There’s a line between explaining constitutional protections and directing people to thwart a lawful federal operation, and the DOJ should determine where that line is. If members of Congress or city leaders are working to obstruct federal officers, they must face the same rule of law as any other citizen.
Legal experts say the federal toolbox is broad enough to go after coordinated cells and their backers, including RICO statutes when a pattern of organized criminality is present, and that’s precisely the route necessary when violence and coordinated ambushes of federal officers occur. Left-wing funders who bankroll sustained campaigns of intimidation and sabotage cannot hide behind nonprofits and dark-money conduits forever. The American people deserve transparency: who is paying for this anti-enforcement industrial complex, and why are they trying to make our streets less safe?
Patriots should welcome a Justice Department that follows the money and holds the entire chain of command to account — from the street thugs to the hedge funders who bankroll them and the media that amplifies their tactics. This is not a partisan exercise; it is basic defense of civil society and the men and women in uniform who put their lives on the line to enforce our laws. If the DOJ does its job and drags these hidden financiers into the light, America will be safer and the rule of law will be restored.
I tried to locate a full, independently verifiable transcript of the exact Alex Marlow exchange referenced in the video title, but mainstream reporting instead documents Tom Homan’s repeated calls for DOJ probes into media coverage like CNN’s ICEBlock segment, his request that DOJ review whether public officials impeded ICE, and legal discussion about using federal statutes to target organized anti-ICE cells and their backers. Major outlets report Homan urging investigations of media and organizers and The Hill confirms his push to have DOJ examine members of Congress’ actions, though I did not find a separate mainstream publication reproducing the precise Marlow soundbite; the broader pattern of Homan pressing DOJ to pursue funders, facilitators and obstructionists is well documented.
