What goes round comes round?
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has recently made headlines like this one from Lifezette: “Hakeem Jeffries Threatens to Dox ICE Agents Amid Rising Attacks, Death Threats.” (RELATED: The True Depths of Democrats’ Bankruptcy)
The story reports:
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) sparked controversy Thursday after pledging to publicly identify Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents involved in deportation operations, even as agents continue to face an increase in violent threats and doxing.
Speaking at a press conference in Washington, Jeffries criticized what he described as federal immigration “overreach” and warned that ICE agents who conceal their identities while conducting raids would be exposed.
“Every single ICE agent who’s engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to hide their identities from the American people will be unsuccessful in doing that,” Jeffries said.
Well now.
Jeffries raises, apparently unknowingly, an all too obvious question.
Which would be?
If it’s OK to demand that ICE agents have their identities revealed, why stop there?
If doxing ICE agents is now OK, it would seem that in the spirit of fair play and equal treatment it is time to recall that Jeffries himself, along with the entire congressional leadership of both parties, not to mention the Capitol building itself, receives protection from federal agents — aka the United States Capitol Police.

And this being the case, to follow the Jeffries security demand, Jeffries’s own security force should be doxed. The names of all U.S. Capitol Police made public. Published regularly in press releases from Jeffries himself, notifying the public whenever there are changes in personnel.
Will this happen?
Of course not. Nor should it ever be done.
But the harsh reality here is that this would not be done because this would be dangerous to Jeffries’s security and the Capitol police. It will not happen because Jeffries is not about maintaining law and order. He is about double standards to serve his political needs. Even if that puts the lives of those federal ICE agents at risk.
In Jeffries’s worldview view it is perfectly OK to dox the federal ICE agents. It is decidedly not OK to treat the police assigned to protect Jeffries himself, his colleagues who are members of Congress, and the Capitol complex staff in exactly the same fashion.
Will this double standard change?
Don’t bet on it. Safe to say, Congressman Jeffries simply doesn’t care — as long as he and his own security are safely protected.
The Jeffries campaign to dox ICE agents is not only shameful — it is dangerous. And it should be halted immediately.
