Ah yes, nothing screams “sensible governance” quite like a former Democratic governor on cable news musing about how blue-state attorneys general could charge federal immigration officers with kidnapping.
That’s where we are, folks. Martin O’Malley — remember him? The guy who peaked in 2015 with a polling average of “who?” — popped up on MSNBC to let us all know it’s just a matter of time before someone figures out how to criminalize the enforcement of federal law if they don’t like who’s doing the enforcing.
Let’s take a moment and soak in the absurdity. A former governor, a man who once had actual responsibilities, is now cheerleading the idea of using state kidnapping statutes to prosecute federal officials for doing their jobs — namely, deporting criminal illegal aliens and suspected gang members. You know, the people who shouldn’t be here in the first place. But hey, in O’Malley’s America, trying to protect American citizens from MS-13 apparently makes you the villain.
And then there’s the kicker: O’Malley, with zero irony, compared deportation to sending people to “concentration camps.” In El Salvador. Because apparently, enforcing immigration law now equals Nazi Germany, and we’re supposed to nod along like this is rational discourse. This is the same logic that has college kids gluing themselves to sidewalks in protest of Israel — it’s not activism, it’s a tantrum dressed in hysterics.
🚨Fmr. MD Gov Martin O’Malley says “it’s a matter of time” before blue-state AG’s file kidnapping charges over ICE operations.
“Attorney generals are going to play a critically important role in these days ahead, fighting this fascist moment in American history.”

Let’s be real. The only “fascist moment” happening here is the progressive Left trying to erase constitutional separation of powers when they don’t get their way. They can’t legislate, so they litigate. They can’t win at the ballot box (hello, 2024), so they turn to activist judges and friendly blue-state prosecutors to do the job of Congress — all while accusing Trump and conservatives of being the actual threat to democracy. Projection, anyone?
Meanwhile, you’ve got Rep. Laura Friedman openly bragging that Democrats are meeting behind closed doors with attorneys general to “weaponize the courts.” That’s not a fringe conspiracy theory — that’s their admission. But don’t worry, I’m sure Rachel Maddow asked zero follow-up questions because, well, when the narrative fits, no facts required.
And let’s not forget Pam Bondi laying it all out plain as day. Since Trump took office, the Left has filed more than 170 lawsuits against him, with over 50 injunctions slapped down like bureaucratic flypaper to stall anything remotely resembling conservative policy. That’s your constitutional crisis. Not Trump deporting violent criminals. Not ICE doing its job. But a rogue network of liberal lawyers and judges undermining federal authority every time they catch a whiff of America-first governance.
So now the legal Left wants to send ICE agents to jail for enforcing immigration law. What’s next? Charging Border Patrol with assault for detaining cartel smugglers? Suing the Department of Defense because someone got their feelings hurt over a recruitment poster? The ridiculousness has no floor.
Martin O’Malley’s entire rant is a crystal-clear window into the Left’s actual mindset: laws only matter when they agree with them, and the rule of law is optional when they’re not in charge.
This isn’t about “protecting democracy.” It’s about punishing dissent and criminalizing the enforcement of national sovereignty. And they’ll keep doing it—unless voters slam the door shut on this madness, and remind them that the Constitution doesn’t work on feelings.
