The Biden administration’s handling of immigration has once again revealed the dysfunction at the heart of its policy. The case of Abrego Garcia, an immigrant with criminal allegations who refused a plea deal and remains deportable, underscores the chaos. Rather than sending a clear message about law and order, officials are reportedly preparing to deport him to a small African nation that has no connection to his case. This kind of policymaking looks less like strategy and more like guesswork, leaving Americans questioning whether anyone in Washington truly grasps the gravity of the nation’s immigration crisis.
Meanwhile, the consequences of failed enforcement are tragically visible on the streets of Washington, D.C. The shocking murder of a congressional intern by teenagers exemplifies how violent crime is exploding in areas already plagued by immigration-related problems. This heartbreaking incident illustrates what former President Trump long warned about during his campaign and presidency: when borders are weak and policies neglect enforcement, the safety of ordinary Americans comes second. Every American family deserves to feel secure in their communities, yet under Biden’s leadership, crime continues to climb and accountability remains elusive.
To make matters worse, local leaders in D.C. are busy fighting the administration in court over National Guard deployments, arguing that they undermine the city’s sovereignty and economy. The irony is glaring: a city rife with crime chooses litigation over solutions. If the capital truly wants to flex its autonomy, then it should first get serious about reducing violence and securing its neighborhoods. Instead, left-leaning officials cling to political theater while ordinary residents pay the price. The focus should be on protecting lives, not bowing to ideological narratives that ignore reality.
In an effort to get a handle on the immigration backlog, the administration has turned to deploying 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. Critics scoff at the move, claiming these professionals lack the experience necessary to make fair rulings. But the truth is that the immigration system is drowning under more than three million unresolved cases, and someone has to step up. These lawyers bring years of legal training, discipline, and an ability to operate under pressure—qualities sorely missing in the bloated bureaucracy that has allowed the system to collapse.
At its core, the debate boils down to whether America should take bold, decisive action to restore order or continue to stumble through half-measures that appease activists but leave citizens vulnerable. Military lawyers on the bench, stricter deportation enforcement, and stronger border control aren’t perfect fixes, but they are steps toward reclaiming safety and sovereignty. For too long, immigration policy has been dictated by political expediency rather than national interest. Until Washington embraces a seriousness of purpose, the chaos will continue—and it’s the American people who will keep paying the price.
