The Liberal Media’s Blind Eye: Federal Crackdown in North Carolina Unfolds

By an Angry Republican Observer

A dramatic, multi-agency federal operation is currently underway in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, as agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the FBI, the ATF, and the DEA have surrounded Buckeye Fire Equipment, a major fire equipment manufacturer with past contracts tied to the Department of Defense (DoD) and Small Business Administration (SBA). While the liberal media downplays the significance of this raid, the scale of the operation—involving multiple high-profile federal agencies—suggests this could be a major crackdown on fraud, identity theft, and illegal employment, issues that President Donald Trump has long warned against.

According to Queen City News, authorities confirmed that a criminal search warrant is being executed at the facility, with the investigation focusing on “allegations of aggravated identity theft and the employment of individuals not authorized to work in the United States.” This revelation underscores the ongoing crisis of illegal immigration and fraudulent hiring practices that the Biden administration has failed to address—and which President Trump has vowed to eradicate upon his return to office.

In an unprecedented show of unity, the operation is being led by ICE and includes a formidable coalition of agencies: the FBI, ATF, DEA, U.S. Marshals, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and local Kings Mountain Police. The Kings Mountain Police Department released a statement clarifying their role, saying:

“KMPD’s role is limited to addressing any potential state charges that may arise as part of the investigation. All inquiries regarding federal charges or other aspects of the investigation should be directed to Homeland Security Investigations.”

This level of coordination suggests the case is far more significant than the mainstream media is willing to admit. Buckeye Fire Equipment’s ties to federal agencies, including the DoD and SBA, raise serious questions about potential security risks—especially if unauthorized workers were involved in manufacturing equipment meant for our national defense.

While the liberal press rushes to dismiss such operations as routine, real patriots and supporters of President Trump recognize this as part of his broader mission to drain the swamp and enforce the rule of law. There is no question that the media’s reluctance to cover this story fairly is yet another example of their bias against America-first policies.
