Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FL), who gives AOC and Jasmine Crockett a run for their money when dragging down the collective intelligence quotient of any room they are standing in, has accused ICE agents of engaging in "human trafficking."
That's quite a Jedi mind trick to try and convince people that deporting actual human traffickers is, in itself, human trafficking.
Frost made the wild accusation during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."
"Donald Trump ran on this mass deportation thing, but the thing that everyone needs to realize is deportation is a process," Frost explained. "It is a legal process. Oftentimes it can take weeks, if not months, up to a year, depending on the case."
"And what is going on right now is actually not mass deportation even, because people aren’t being given due process. There is no legal process for people," he claimed. "We have ICE federal agents pulling up, terrorizing our communities, hopping out of unmarked vans, stealing and yes, kidnapping people, not giving them their day in court, and yes, human trafficking them to other nations."
Radical Democrat Rep. Maxwell Frost compares ICE agents deporting criminal illegal aliens to "human trafficking."

No, they are getting rid of ACTUAL human traffickers that Democrats let pour into this country with an autopen. pic.twitter.com/wWsmIubkbR

To say this is stupidity on steroids would be an understatement.
The Trump administration is prioritizing the repatriation of criminal illegal aliens who have already been scheduled for deportation or have final removal orders, as well as those who may have been deported previously and re-entered the U.S. illegally.
They've presumably gone through the "process."
Human trafficking involves exploiting individuals through force, fraud, or coercion when, in reality, it's the illegals who committed the initial fraud. What they did to enter this country was illegal and fraudulent, while ICE’s deportation process is a legal enforcement action under U.S. immigration law.
If immigrants left their homes voluntarily to enter the U.S., their subsequent deportation by ICE is a consequence of violating immigration laws, not trafficking.
The only ones capable of falling for Rep. Frost's mind trick would be Colbert and his audience. Like clockwork, the man who launched his career by starring on a fake news comedy show, echoed the sentiment with his own fake news.
"One of the things, when I see it, that alarms me most — and it does feel like kidnapping — as you said, unmarked windowless vans will show up; men will get out wearing masks, no identifying patches," Colbert complained.
In no other circumstance is law enforcement's arrest of a criminal considered kidnapping. Only in the simple mind of someone like Colbert.
Frost has been a strong advocate of open-border policies. He has suggested keeping America unprotected from the invasion of illegals should continue since only one or two people have done terrible things - like rape and murder.
Junior Democrat Rep. Max Frost just dismissed all of the illegals r*ping and m*rdering girls and women in America as just “one or two people did something horrible.”

Frost needs to be censured by the House.

"The question is, because one or two people did something horrible, we should rip away the benefit from everybody else," he said. "And we don't use that logic for anything else in this country."
Firstly, using a bank robbery analogy, it's not a "benefit" to enter this country illegally any more than the cash a criminal steals is a "benefit."
Second, we absolutely do use that kind of logic. If a jewelry store gets robbed once, it responds by beefing up security and locking down the store more tightly.
Frost, earlier this week, proposed a blanket amnesty for millions of illegals, something a vast majority of the American people vehemently oppose. A 90-10 issue as the President likes to say.
You can’t make this stuff up!

At a Democrat rally today, Rep. Maxwell Frost proposed BLANKET AMNESTY for EVERY SINGLE ONE of the MILLIONS of ILLEGAL aliens Joe Biden let into the country.

"To my Republican colleagues who say 'I don't want any undocumented people in this country,' I actually agree with you," Frost said. "So let's document every single one of them, with a speedy path to citizenship."
Democrats are on a ride-or-die mission to save criminals in this country from the law enforcement hammer being laid down by President Trump. Why? That's their base. These are their voters and their agitators, participating in politically motivated riots.
They need them. Law-abiding Americans do not.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.
