Guy Ciarrocchi: The Left’s theater of the absurd goes To Minnesota
“Renee Good’s death was a tragedy. And ICE’s work is important and necessary. No ‘rent-a-rally’ will change either of those truths.”
That was my quote in a Philadelphia newspaper regarding the ongoing ICE raids and predictable protests taking place in Minnesota — and across America. I stand by it. And I trust that most Americans believe it — we can hold both thoughts in our heads.
It’s imperative for us to recognize how we got here. And (for the most part) what these rallies are truly about in order to understand and fix this mess — what’s actually wrong. To recognize the “theater of the absurd” for what it is — and that more tragedies may occur if commonsense doesn’t return.
Millions of illegal immigrants. Billions of taxpayer dollars spent, wasted or stolen on illegal immigration and those acquiring money and power off of that ideologically driven, purposeful policy.
The rallies, protests and confrontations are purposeful — organized by paid operatives, with thousands attending “trainings,” politicians and progressive influencers encouraging these disruptions, and they’re being underwritten by wealthy ideologues.
These anarchists actually stormed a Christian church on Sunday! Because, you know, “ICE is bad.”
These are the facts. First, illegal immigration was out of control. The Biden/Harris administration had invited a population as large as Pennsylvania, maybe larger. Senator John Fetterman described the crisis as “allowing in another Pittsburgh every month.” Even Democratic mayors pleaded for the border to be secured and howled for emergency aid. They couldn’t house, feed, educate, and medicate these folks from across the globe, many of whom had illnesses of all sorts — including diseases otherwise ended in the West.
Second, some states — such as California and Minnesota — got into a progressive-utopian bidding war offering a limitless buffet of taxpayer-funded goodies for illegal immigrants, almost all without jobs or hosts waiting for them — some with criminal or terrorist backgrounds. Free housing (even in five-star hotels) and more freebies — schools, college, food, healthcare, iPhones, and pre-loaded debit cards.
As we now know, America’s weirdest (dopiest) governor, Tim Walz, allowed or encouraged billions in fraud, creating a cottage industry of fraudster-entrepreneurs, with a web of willing accomplices. Minnesota’s government-sanctioned criminal enterprise cost American taxpayers billions — and likely deprived daycare and autism services to citizens and legal immigrants.
Third, a significant number of those “protesting” are paid and/or trained by “non profit” organizations funded by left-wing politically motivated millionaires and billionaires.
That’s critically important to understand. Progressive politicians, influencers and their non-profit front groups allowed millions of illegals into our nation. Then, threw (away) billions of taxpayer dollars on their “care” — and theft.
Now, their enterprises are paying and training thousands for the sole purpose of stopping ICE and the FBI from removing illegal immigrants — and those illegally enabling them or abusing them, or our taxpayer dollars.
This includes child-traffickers, rapists, drug dealers, convicted murders and alleged terrorists. (Thousands of whom have been removed to date.)
It began with “doxing” ICE agents — showing their photos, listing their homes and families online — to intimidate them. It’s why they wear masks!
Next, demanding local politicians — governors, mayors, sheriffs — not help ICE agents, making ICE’s work more dangerous for the agents, those they are seeking to apprehend and also protestors, many of whom think this is a reality show.
These trainings — and the emboldening rhetoric of Democrat politicians and left wing influencers — urge protestors to harass, confront, and even disrupt ICE agents in their sworn duties. Posting ICE raid locations on social media. Slowing or blocking their SUVs. Screaming and throwing things at ICE agents. All while active ICE raids are taking place.
Because, the protestors truly believe that Trump and ICE are wrong. So, apparently the law and common sense don’t apply.
Can you imagine doing this during a hostage situation? A bank robbery? A drug raid?
What if the “non-profits” were being funded by political extremists training people to “doxx,” protest, block, and taunt officers because they think drugs should be legal? What if you hate a large bank — their lending policies, interest rates? Now, what if a criminal tries to rob that bank — is it okay to organize a “rally” to stop the cops? Or, because some people think sex with minors should be legal, should they be allowed to organize and train people to block, harass and intimate FBI agents going after child predators?
Would we want to allow those actions — just because the organizers (or their funders or operatives) want to make a political point or advance a political cause? Because they know they’re right?!
The progressive-left wing-Democratic oligarchy — along with influencers and too much of the legacy media — allowed a Pennsylvania’s worth of illegal immigrants to flood into our nation.
Americans voted to stop it—and, undo it. And polls show support greater than the election returns.
But, some — with many agendas — don’t agree.
Doxing ICE agents. Blocking in ICE cars. Pressuring politicians from helping ICE agents do their jobs. Confronting agents. Blocking intersections. Storming churches.
This may be how radicals operate. This may be the chaos and breakdown of law that ideological billionaires want. Is it really what we want? Mob rule — by anyone who thinks they’re “right?”
“ICE’s work is important and necessary.”
If you disagree, there’s a 249-year-old protected alternative: “the right of the people (of the United States) peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Guy, you summed it up perfectly. Great job.
Oligarchs (almost all atheists, vast majority hide behind a Zionist cause to escape normal US citizens’ scrutinizing their tactics) fund and continue to organize efforts to weaken and diminish any educated, strong, thriving middle class within the United States. They want foolish, uneducated, and easily controlled consumers globally. A strong US middle class is a threat to these oligarchs and globalists. These Zionist-loving oligarchs accomplished what CCP chairman Mao Zedong long ago threatened: they sent waves of invaders to Ireland, England, the United States, and ALL other Christian countries… except Russia and Poland.
Transference: removal, relocation, or moving of people from one place to another.
Currently these oligarchs are using S.A.L.T. (Socialists Against Legal Transference – made that up) to wage war on I.C.E. (Immigration & Customs Enforcement) These Salty folks are “useful innocents” and dimwitted tools of oligarchs. Many of them are Yoga moms afraid their gardeners and maids will cost too much? Our US President is showing too much restraint because although he might be rude, he is too nice and has a big heart and loves his fellow Americans. But if this insurrectionist activity is allowed to continue then probably within 10 years we will get a dictator, and outright civil war.
California, New York, Ohio, Minnesota, and many other US states outright stole BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of our children’s and your grandchildren’s tax money. Probably in PA, too. People are not nearly angry enough because they don’t yet comprehend what these oligarchs have done on scale. They’ve destroyed the US dollar by having their bought-and-paid-for-politicians print the US dollar into worthlessness. Trump pushed tariffs and the oligarchs paid the media to scream and predict those tariffs would lead to calamity… they lied. They were wrong. Don’t hold your breath for an apology. Put on your mask! So where can we find these oligarchs, just to talk? Where is Davos exactly?
I fail to understand what “Zionism” has to do with illegal immigration. Perhaps you could educate me?
Sure. “Illegal immigration” was a cornerstone of Zionist success, increasing the Jewish population in Palestine from about 11% in 1922 to over 30% by 1947, paving the way for partition and statehood. It’s celebrated in Israeli history as heroic defiance, not criminality.
Of course Israel maintains strict immigration controls because non-Jews [they are scum] face barriers under “the Law of Return”, which prioritizes Jewish immigration while restricting others (e.g., Palestinians or African asylum seekers.)
Jewish advocacy has focused on refugee resettlement. Bend the Arc and T’ruah: Progressive groups advocate for DACA protections, amnesty, and against deportations. T’ruah organizes border delegations and human rights campaigns.
2025 Open Letter: 88 Jewish organizations signed a letter calling for “fair immigration paths”
Rabbi Deborah Waxman (President, Reconstructing Judaism): Has written and spoken extensively on compassionate immigration, visiting the U.S.-Mexico border in 2018 to advocate for refugees.
Rabbi Elyse Wechterman (Executive Director, Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association): Visited detention centers in 2019 and 2025, pushing for asylum reforms.
Rabbi Dan Kaiman (Congregation B’nai Emunah, Tulsa): Leads synagogue efforts to resettle Afghan refugees, continuing advocacy under recent administrations.
Over 600 Jewish Clergy signed a 2025 letter condemning Trump policies scapegoating immigrants, organized by HIAS and T’ruah.
What else do you want to pretend you don’t understand?
Me too. I understand Zionism to be a belief that Jews should be able to return to a homeland that was established several thousand years ago, but had been conquered, ruled and occupied by various and assorted groups in the intervening centuries.
Again, the some few thousand families that are trying to destroy the United States are oligarchs and atheists (small and privileged group acting with corrupt and selfish purposes.) They have bought-and-paid-for-politicians and they are tyrannical. For example, the Pohlad family is a prime example and I do not think they are Jewish. They are bad people pretending to do good. They might even be well-intentioned but they are leading the United States down the road to hell. My understanding is they have donated over $25mm to groups such as the ones led by Nekima Levy Armstrong, who is reported to be behind organized attacks on ICE (federal agents.)
I’m just pointing out that many of these evil oligarchs hide behind Zionism… not all, but most of them. And it is incredible that any criticism whatsoever of Zionism is is not permitted or allowed in “polite” society. (The entire idea of Zionism, an ethno state formed around a shared identity of language, culture, religion, or ethnicity, is just like India or Pakistan.) But if the government of India or Pakistan had as much influence over the United States which the government of Israel currently holds, it would not be tolerated. Nor should we tolerate Israel’s corrupting influence. The Prime Minister of Israel has been to the White House enough times this year. There are plenty of God-fearing Jewish people that have been, and are, true US patriots. Unfortunately the fellows behind Tik-Tok, I would not consider US patriots. In my opinion they are bad people and their algorithms are designed to make US students less smart. (That’s a small example.) And unless more Jewish patriots, like Stephen Miller, start putting America first, unfortunately more creeps like Nick Fuentes are going to gain more and more followers. Most non-Jews already understood what Kayne West was saying. Then oligarchs proved his points in part by by de-banking him, and trying to banish him. Violence is never the answer. But if people aren’t willing to clearly define our problems then we won’t solve anything. If we look into the groups behind the funds that organize the protests in Minnesota we find mostly Zionists. An exception, the Pohlad family, is affiliated with the Minnesota Twins. Do Twins’ fans realize they are paying for these confrontations with federal ICE agents? Does the US Senate understand that? Maybe the US Senate needs to subpoena the Twins and Pohlad family members. Criminals stole Billions and Billions of our money in Minnesota. Now they are organizing fools to fight ICE. We need to identify the organizers and if they are here illegally kick them out of the United States, and if they are here legally charge them for the crimes they committed and have supported as accessories.
