Quotes for our Times:

Matt Vespa, Senior Editor at Townhall. com: After democrat smears, Tom Homan confirmed ICE agent and family were forced to go into hiding.

And in the interest of curiosity, we'll remind you that in 2002, 88 House Democrats and more than 40 Senate Democrats voted in favor of creating ICE. This includes Senators Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin, as well as Rep. Adam Schiff. Just last week, Democrats marked January 6, and lamented the attacks on law enforcement. But it seems their respect and concern last only 24 hours a year. And while we hadn't considered the defamation angle before, it would be nice to see ICE and Border Patrol agents start filing defamation lawsuits.

Amy Curtis, purveyor of epic Twitter rants and awesome Townhall content: This is what's at stake as SCOTUS mulls the issue of men in women's sports.

Girls have a right to single-sex spaces, and a right to go to school and compete in sports without the threat of sexual harassment and physical harm hanging over them. Making them change with and compete against boys is not only unfair, but it is also dangerous, and the sooner we can enact policies that will protect girls, the better.

Dave Marcus, columnist for Fox News Digital: Impeding federal law enforcement is not protest, it's just crime.

The responsible thing for every Democrat in politics and in the media to do today, right now, is to tell their audiences that it is never OK to assault a cop, it is never OK to impede a federal investigation, and they need to knock it off.

Instead, Friday saw Rep. Ilhan Omar, DMinn., riling up a Minnesota crowd from the back of a pickup truck saying, 'You all have insisted that this resistance is not one that can be intimidated.' If she was referring to using automobiles to thwart federal agents, as she seemed to be, that is simply a call for insurrection.

In fact, there is good reason to believe that anyone who would say that should not be in Congress.

Sadly, Democrats will not do the responsible thing, even though it would protect their own supporters such as Good, who should still be alive today.

No, there is only one answer here; enforcing the law.

Joe Abraham, the father of Katie Abraham, who was killed in a drunken-driving accident by an illegal alien: An illegal immigrant killed my daughter — leftists march for Renee, not for Katie.

States like Illinois and Minnesota have effectively nullified federal immigration law through sanctuary statutes that refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement. These policies did not just fail my daughter and the other victims that night. They failed every citizen. And they failed even the people they recklessly import for political gain.

This is not immigration policy. This is not compassion. This is cruelty.
