Summary
Savage argues that the unrest outside ICE facilities should not be treated as legitimate protest, but as riots and insurrection. He traces American protest movements from the Boston Tea Party to civil rights, Vietnam, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, and modern anti-Trump demonstrations, contrasting lawful dissent with what he sees as organized intimidation and political agitation. Savage calls for the arrest and deportation of non-citizens involved, warns that birthright citizenship and activist legal groups are weakening the country, and frames the moment as a test of whether America will remain a nation of laws.
