Newsmax host: “So if illegal aliens are allowed to shield themselves from deportation using cars, well, I got to ask this question -- why should any Americans continue to follow traffic laws?”

Bob Brooks: “Now the administration seems to be bending the knee. It's confusing. The radical left now has veto power over interior enforcement.”

BOB BROOKS (HOST): I highly doubt any ICE agents, like, actively go out looking to shoot anybody. Look, Democrats escalating their attacks on ICE. It seems to be working. The Trump administration has now ordered ICE agents to pause most vehicle stops temporarily unless it's for the worst criminal illegal. So in wake of the multiple fatal ICE involved shootings of illegal aliens in Maine and Texas, this for so-called more training, alright? The ICE agents killing a 26-year-old Columbian national in Maine after he attempted to flee during an immigration enforcement operation yesterday. Now I got to show you a picture. The bullet holes located in the front of the vehicle, and I wonder why that's the case. Maybe because it was barreling straight towards an agent. Just a thought. Leftist antagonists descending on the scene causing chaos, and that's pretty much all it seems to take sometimes. 

And now the administration seems to be bending the knee. It's confusing. The radical left now has veto power over interior enforcement. Maine Republican senator Susan Collins, a Republican in name only, RINO, and in a tough reelection battle, also revealing that she spoke to DHS secretary Markwayne Mullin personally to tell him to pause vehicle stops, and it looked like it kinda worked. Alright? Vehicle stops, they are key to mass deportations. ICE uses them to get illegals off the streets, including the worst of the worst because blue states, they will not cooperate. So if illegal aliens are allowed to shield themselves from deportation using cars, well, I got to ask this question -- why should any Americans continue to follow traffic laws? Right? If you can't pull over illegals, then why should Americans be allowed to be pulled over if we're actual citizens. Kinda having a hard time understanding this one even if it is just temporary.
