Leftists are attacking ICE, claiming illegal immigration is a make-believe problem (see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Attacks ICE. Also, An MS-13 Gang Member Murdered Someone in Her District and 3 MS-13 Members Stab Teen in the Neck. Yes, They’re Here Illegally.). I hope those same leftists look at this report from the NYPD. It's about how MS-13- - many of whom are illegal immigrants ICE would detain, arrest, and deport -- are targeting off-duty police officers IN THEIR HOMES!

In a memo released Tuesday, authorities from the police department’s 105th Precinct warned officers that the department has received “threats against [members of service]” who live in Brentwood and Central Islip, both hamlets in the Suffolk County town of Islip, as well as Patchogue. “Intel has been obtained that members of MS13 are looking to ‘hit’ NYPD police officers, specifically in the Brentwood/Central Islip area, as well as possibly Patchogue in order to gain street credibility,” according to the memo. “These members are conducting reconnaissance of [member of service] private residences.”

Not that looking to assassinate police officers isn't bad enough. But how many of these gang members do you think will care about the officer's wife and kids being home too? This is a reality. One the left wants to ignore so they can play politician.

Real lives are at risk because illegal immigration continues to be a problem. It continues to be a problem because politicians need it to be a problem so they can continue running elections on the problem, promising if you elect them, they'll solve the problem. Then never do.

It's 2019, do you know where your politician stands on illegal immigration and ICE?
