There was a terrorist attack in New York City yesterday. A leftist individual, Andrew Arrabaca, threw an incendiary device outside 26 Federal Plaza, which houses multiple federal law enforcement agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement. One person was lightly injured—someone attending an immigration hearing. A scheduled naturalization ceremony was postponed. The flames never reached the building, and Arrabaca was quickly arrested by the police. His cart was filled with weapons and anti-ICE propaganda.
On CNN last night, host Sara Sidner had the gall to blame ICE for the attack, which Scott Jennings wasn’t going to tolerate this nonsense. He took this line of questioning behind the barn:

JENNINGS: “So if you believe that a government agency is doing something that you don’t like, and your choices are; A, cast a vote, B, use your words or C, go set off an incendiary device at the federal building in New York City, and you pick C…”
“There is NO justification for this!”
“There’s no rationalization of it, and that’s patently ridiculous if that is what anybody’s going to argue tonight.”

Game. Set. Match.
Blame ICE for what? Enforcing the law? If enforcing immigration laws — which have been on the books for decades, induces you to commit acts of domestic terrorism, you’re the problem, not the cops.
