President Donald Trump has mobilized National Guard troops to protect ICE agents and federal facilities from violent protesters and deadly assassins, and to help law enforcement officers in several cities across the country and the District of Columbia.
The deployment of Guard troops to Los Angeles, Portland, Chicago, Memphis and D.C. has been met with outrage and lawsuits by blue state governors, mayors, other Democrat officials and liberal reporters.
One such liberal reporter is MSNBC’s Jacob Soboroff.
Soboroff made his career adversely reporting on Trump’s first term migrant child separation policy meant to protect children from being trafficked by cartels into sex and work slavery.
Soboroff turned his anti-Trump reporting on migrant children into a book and movie deal titled Separated.
During the four years of Joe Biden’s presidency, Soboroff ignored the mass trafficking by the Biden administration of migrant children into work and sex slavery in the U.S.
Now with Trump back in office and vigorously enforcing immigration and deportation laws, Soboroff is back on the immigration beat.
Soboroff posted a clip of a discussion he had with MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on Monday, adding, “for over four months I’ve reported as Trump has put troops and federal agents in cities across America. more than ever I’m seeing and hearing from people pushing back — standing up for immigrants, democracy and members of our military who don’t want this.”
Soboroff tried to undermine Trump’s deployment of Guard troops, saying that after speaking with troops he believes they will turn on Trump, that their families and neighbors will turn on them and urged young people not to join the military.

Uncorrected transcript excerpt via YouTube:
Soborff: ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, DOMINO TO FALL. I THINK THAT I’VE SEEN AS A REPORTER OUT IN THE STREETS IS WE’VE TALKED ABOUT HOW IT’S NOT JUST THE PRO-IMMIGRATION FOLKS THAT ARE IN THE STREETS. NOW. IT’S THE IT’S THE PRO-DEMOCRACY PEOPLE.
I THINK THE THREE OF US HAVE ACTUALLY TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE, IF I’M NOT MISTAKEN.
I THINK MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY, IF THEY HAVEN’T ALREADY, MAY VERY WELL SOON START TO TURN ON THIS ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE OF THE
WAY THAT THEY’RE BEING DEPLOYED TO THE STREETS. IT’S NOT JUST THE BRONCO. CHILDREN OF NARCISSO BRONCO, THE MARINES WHOSE FATHER WAS BEATEN BY ICE AS HE WAS CUTTING BUSHES AT AT AT AN IHOP IN SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA.BUT IT’S THE PEOPLE FROM ALL OF THESE COMMUNITIES FROM WHICH MAYBE EVEN TEXAS, THEY ARE DEPLOYED AND BEING ASKED TO STAND FACE TO FACE WITH PEOPLE WHO COME FROM COMMUNITIES JUST LIKE THEIR OWN, ASKED TO ENFORCE THE LAW IN A WAY THAT THEY WOULD OVERSEAS, OR IN A COMBAT ZONE WITH PEOPLE FROM AMERICAN COMMUNITIES.
I CAN TELL YOU FIRSTHAND THAT MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL GUARD THAT I’VE TALKED TO ARE DEEPLY UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT HAVING TO PARTICIPATE IN A MISSION LIKE THIS, AND WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A SMALL CONSTITUENCY. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE MEMBERS THEMSELVES. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THEIR FAMILIES WHO, IF YOU DON’T THINK THEY’RE TALKING TO THEIR FAMILIES ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW YOU’RE WRONG. I CAN TELL YOU FIRSTHAND, I THINK THAT THERE’S A THERE’S THERE ARE MORE CONSTITUENCIES YET TO TURN ON THIS ADMINISTRATION FOR THE WAY THAT THEY’RE USING THE MILITARY IN THE STREETS, NOT JUST FOR IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT, BUT, YOU KNOW, IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS DEMOCRACY.
Nicolle Wallce: WELL, AND THAT’S, YOU KNOW, JOHN KELLY’S FINAL WARNING BEFORE THE ELECTION TO AMERICA, WAS THAT WHAT HE WANTED TO DO? AND WAS BLOCKED BY PEOPLE LIKE KELLY AND AND MADISON WAS TO PUT THE MILITARY ON THE STREETS. AND THE REASON IT’S BAD, IT’S BAD FOR A WHOLE BUNCH OF REASONS. IT’S BAD FOR AMERICANS ON THE STREET WHO SHOULDN’T BE POLICED BY OUR OWN MILITARY. BUT IT’S IT’S ULTIMATELY THE WORST FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE MILITARY WHO, IN A NATURAL DISASTER, SHOW UP TO HELP. AND IN A TIME OF WAR, YOU KNOW, GO FAR AWAY TO FIGHT.
Jacob Soborff: THE QUESTION I WOULD ASK IF I WAS DONALD TRUMP’S OPPONENT IS, DO YOU REALLY WANT A DEMORALIZED NATIONAL GUARD, ALL IN 50 STATES ACROSS THE UNION, BECAUSE THEY’RE WAITING TO BE DEPLOYED TO HOLD LONG RIFLES UP AGAINST THEIR NEIGHBORS, IN BETWEEN ICE DETENTION CENTERS AND PROTESTS ON THE STREET? THAT IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY, I THINK. WHO’S JOINING THE MILITARY TODAY? 17, 18, 19 YEARS OLD, TO THINK ABOUT THAT. THEY MAY BE DEPLOYED FOR THAT PURPOSE RATHER THAN THE ONE THAT THEY THINK IS A NOBLE CALLING TO STAND IN DEFENSE OF THIS NATION ABROAD.
Earlier in the segment, Soboroff said in a recent interview he and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker were “joking” with each other over whether there would be an election or if troops would be deployed at the ballot box:
“HE SAID TO ME I DON’T KNOW IF WE’LL HAVE AN ELECTION. AND WE WERE JOKING ABOUT IT, BUT I DON’T KNOW IF WE’LL HAVE AN ELECTION IN 2026, OR WE WILL HAVE THE MILITARY OUTSIDE OF THE BALLOT BOXES.”
Complete MSNBC segment:
Presidents have deployed the military and National Guard troops to put down rebellions, quell riots and enforce federal law from President George Washington through President Donald Trump.
The pro-illegal immigration seditionists at MSNBC would have Americans believe Trump’s deployment of the Guard is the end of democracy when it is being used to protect the American republic and uphold the democratic will of the American people who re-elected Trump last year in an landslide based on his promise to secure the border and conduct mass deportations of illegal aliens.
UPDATE: Another clip from Monday shows Soboroff outraged that ICE has a playbook, films its operations and blocks activists from interfering in detentions.
