It was only a matter of time… Democrats are now defending illegal alien human-smuggling stash houses.
On Wednesday, crazy leftist lawmaker Becca Balint (D-VT) lectured Congress on how ICE had raided the wrong home in an Oklahoma raid and terrorized a family with young children.
Apparently, Democrats made it their mission this year to defend violent, wife-beating, gangbanging illegals from deportation from the country.
After all, wife-beaters, human traffickers, and illegal alien gangbangers are people too!
Here is her rant during a House committee hearing.
Rep. Becca Balint: The morning of Thursday, April 24, about 20 armed federal agents broke into a home occupied by a family of U.S. citizens in Oklahoma City who had just moved there two weeks prior from Maryland. ICE agents, mistaking the current occupants for the former, broke down the door, terrorized the family, and they repeatedly said, we are citizens. You have the wrong people. We are citizens.
It happened in the middle of the night. Three children at gunpoint were forced outside. This was all a colossal mistake. The names on the warrant did not match the people who lived in the house. This is what we have created here.
This is Trump’s America. This is what my colleagues are trying to fund with this bill. Armed federal agents breaking into homes, even of US Citizens, traumatizing them, taking their possessions. This is Trump’s America… Open your eyes! Wake the hell up!

Poor Becca was immediately slapped with a community note using KOMO News as its source: “The April 24 Oklahoma ICE operation was a lawful, court-authorized action explicitly targeting a property that was a hub for human smuggling, not specific individuals, as falsely suggested by media reports.”
And later, Homeland Security released a statement on the Oklahoma raid in response to the outspoken Vermont Democrat.
Here is their response to Rep. Balint and fellow Democrats.
Wrong.
The April 24 Oklahoma ICE operation was a lawful, court-authorized action explicitly targeting a property, that was a hub for human smuggling, not specific individuals, as falsely suggested by media reports.
The day prior to the search warrant issuance and the day of the search warrant, HSI agents conducted surveillance, and confirmed via utility records that a member of the Lima Lopez Transnational Criminal Organization was still paying utilities at the residence.
The warrant, issued by a Federal Judge was based on an 84-page affidavit detailing probable cause that the address served as a “stash house” for human smuggling, authorizing the seizure of evidence such as electronic devices and documents, regardless of who was present.
The warrant targeted the property itself, not specific individuals, and its execution was not contingent on the presence of any person. HSI, with Oklahoma state police support, executed the warrant with precision, seizing electronic devices as authorized.
This court-authorized search was a critical strike against a dangerous human smuggling network in furtherance of our mission to protect American communities from the chaos unleashed by the Biden administration’s open-border policies. This is an ongoing investigation, and we have not ruled out current occupants involvement in the smuggling ring.
Democrats are now defending human smugglers.
It only took 100 days of Donald Trump back in office for Democrats to show the world who they really are.
