The performative tactics used by progressive politicians and activists to stage political obstruction against federal immigration enforcement—often referred to as "resistance theater"—are both fundamentally foolish and genuinely dangerous. Rich breaks down how political leaders like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Representative Ilhan Omar engage in grandstanding antics that undermine public safety, mislead their constituents, and delegitimize legal processes. Unpacking how theatrical resistance creates volatile environments on the ground and puts federal officers and local communities at risk, Rich demonstrates why governing requires serious policy solutions rather than reckless political posturing.
