It’s a scene that’s becoming all too familiar: federal immigration law gets enforced, and the Left reacts like it’s a national emergency. This time, it happened in Charlottesville, Virginia, where 41-year-old illegal alien Teodoro Dominguez Rodriguez had just walked out of a courtroom—free and clear after an assault charge was dismissed—only to be promptly met by plainclothes ICE officers. The takedown was calm, professional, and by the book. Naturally, the media and the activist class lost their minds.
Video footage obtained by The Daily Progress shows Rodriguez being handcuffed and escorted into an unmarked van by Homeland Security officers. Not a single raised voice from the agents. No guns drawn. No chaos. Just law enforcement doing what they’re paid to do: enforce immigration law. You know—the laws Congress passed and the President is supposed to execute.

But enter the professional outrage crowd. One woman physically blocked the agent. Another tried to interfere and got a clear warning: “Do not touch me or impede me in my lawful duties. There is a crime for you to do so.” That’s what you call restraint—because if this had been the other way around, with a conservative trying to stop a federal raid under the Biden administration, you can bet there’d be SWAT teams and CNN live coverage within the hour.
Nicholas Reppucci, the head of the Charlottesville Public Defender’s Office and Rodriguez’s lawyer, called the arrest “highly alarming” and a “public policy mistake.” According to Reppucci, ICE somehow “took over” a state agency and didn’t identify themselves. Sure, except the entire thing was caught on camera—and what we saw were calm, credentialed federal officers making a lawful arrest.
The kicker? Another illegal alien was also picked up—this one while trying to pay off a DUI fine. Let that sink in. Not only are these men in the country illegally, they’re engaging in criminal behavior, and the Left still thinks they deserve immunity. That’s not compassion—it’s insanity.
The Albemarle County Police Department did the usual bureaucratic tap dance, insisting they “do not enforce federal immigration law.” Translation: they don’t want to be caught in the crosshairs of the Left’s open-border tantrums.
What happened here wasn’t a raid. It was common sense. America has borders, and we have laws. The fact that enforcing them causes this much uproar tells you everything you need to know about today’s Democrat Party: they care more about illegal aliens than they do about the rule of law.
