Hers the the union protesting


2:51 PM · May 31, 2026

Yet some of the same unions that dominate public education are spending political energy attacking ICE and defending illegal immigrants from deportation.

Teachers unions are not ordinary activist groups. They have money, staff, political influence and the ability to mobilize members quickly.

When organizations with that level of power involve themselves in protests against law enforcement, the issue becomes far more serious. These unions are helping build pressure against the federal government’s ability to enforce immigration law.

The episode also pointed to the broader left-wing strategy behind these movements. On the left, every issue becomes connected.

Anti-police activism, immigration activism, labor activism, anti-Israel activism and socialist politics are often treated as part of the same larger cause. That is why the same style of protest politics keeps appearing across different issues.

The question is simple: Why are teachers unions involved in protests against ICE?

The answer is political power. Teachers unions have become one of the strongest arms of the Democrat Party. They oppose school choice, fight charter schools, promote left-wing policies and protect a public education system that too often fails students.

Their involvement in anti-ICE protests is another example of how unions use education as a political platform.

President Trump’s immigration policy is based on a basic principle: the United States has the right and duty to enforce its own laws. The left’s attempt to demonize ICE is dangerous, especially when powerful institutions like teachers unions join the campaign.

Teachers should be focused on educating students. Unions should be focused on improving schools.

Instead, many union leaders appear more interested in resisting Trump than fixing the education crisis facing American children.

The anti-ICE protests should serve as a warning sign about the left’s political machine and the institutions helping power it.
