The Trump White House criticized Wilkinsburg Mayor Dontae Comans for warning the community about ICE operations, suggesting that he was protecting undocumented immigrants at the expense of officer safety. In a local news interview, Comans emphasized community solidarity and the importance of supporting paths to resident status for immigrants. His Facebook post alerted locals to ICE activity, identifying the area and vehicles involved. Social media users reacted strongly, with some accusing him of treason for his statements and actions in favor of undocumented individuals.
"Everyone here is you know, we're family in Wilkinsburg and we just want to protect each other. We have ordinances that protect everyone no matter what part of life you're from."
"I mean, that's how this country started, you know, you got to start, you know, it's all about getting that path to being a resident. And I felt like we need to help them."
"Mayor Dontae Comans took to Facebook to warn criminal illegals of ICE operations jeopardizing officers' safety and pleading to help illegals evade arrest."
"This action taken by the mayor is TREASON! Why are acts of treason no longer a punishable offense?"
