Tucker Carlson recently sent shockwaves through the political landscape by offering a stunning defense of Michigan’s progressive Democratic Senate nominee, Abdul El-Sayed.
Carlson went so far as to call El-Sayed’s agenda “literally Trumpian,” declared he wouldn’t vote for Republican Mike Rogers “at gunpoint,” and even ran interference for El-Sayed’s highly controversial past comments regarding America’s response to 9/11.
But while media pundits chase clicks and contrarian headlines, we must remain focused on the facts.
When you strip away the television spin and examine Abdul El-Sayed’s documented record, a deeply concerning picture emerges. It is a record characterized by proximity to radical networks and organizations that have historically sought to infiltrate and influence American institutions.
The University of Michigan Muslim Students Association (MSA)
Abdul El-Sayed’s political foundation was built during his time as a student leader.
As an undergraduate, he served as the Vice President of the University of Michigan’s Muslim Students Association (MSA).
This is not simply a collegiate social club. The national MSA was notoriously founded in the 1960s by members of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Under El-Sayed’s leadership in 2007, the UM chapter made headlines when he helped lead a protest and student walkout against a panel of self-described "ex-terrorists" who had abandoned Islamic extremism and converted to Christianity.
Championing protests against individuals who explicitly denounced radical Islamist violence raises serious questions about the ideological environment El-Sayed helped foster during his tenure.
The scrutiny extends far beyond college protests.
For years, organizations and individuals within El-Sayed’s orbit have faced allegations concerning links to Muslim Brotherhood-connected networks.
It is a matter of public record that El-Sayed's familial and political networks intersect with prominent domestic Islamic organizations, such as the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), groups that have historically faced intense federal scrutiny over their origins and alleged ties to the broader Muslim Brotherhood network in America.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s own documented explanatory memorandums have historically described their work in America as a "civilization-jihadist process" aimed at influencing institutions from within.
When a candidate seeking one of the highest offices in the land has a record of leadership and association with organizations linked to this network, Americans have a duty to ask hard questions.
This is not a debate about foreign policy or the Middle East. This is entirely about the integrity of America’s domestic institutions.
When political figures like Tucker Carlson offer unearned praise to candidates like El-Sayed, they legitimize the very networks that conservative and security-minded Americans have spent decades trying to expose.
We cannot afford to have a blind spot when it comes to the ideological company a candidate keeps. The people, networks, and organizations that elevate a politician ultimately guide their hand once they achieve power.
America’s institutions should have no foothold for radical Islamist influence.
Follow the connections. Know who is seeking power.
Tucker Carlson praised Michigan candidate Abdul El-Sayed, describing his agenda as "literally Trumpian," declaring he would not vote for Republican Mike Rogers "at gunpoint," and defending El-Sayed’s past controversial comments about America's response to 9/11.
El-Sayed served as Vice President of the University of Michigan Muslim Students Association.
In 2007, under his leadership, the chapter led protests and student walkouts against speakers who had publicly denounced Islamic extremism.
The National Muslim Students Association was established in the 1960s by members of the Muslim Brotherhood to build ideological presence and influence across American college campuses.
El-Sayed’s campaign and professional networks overlap with organizations such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), both of which have faced historical scrutiny regarding ties to Muslim Brotherhood networks.
Islam is a religious faith protected under the First Amendment.
Radical Islamist ideology is a political movement that uses religious framework to subvert democratic institutions from within.
No. This analysis strictly addresses domestic institutional integrity, civic security, and preventing radical ideological networks from acquiring political power inside American institutions.

Does New York cooperate with ICE? What did Governor Kathy Hochul change about immigration enforcement in New York?
In 2026, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act, a law that restricts state and local participation in federal civil immigration enforcement and prohibits New York law-enforcement agencies from participating in ICE's 287(g) program.
The law does not prohibit all cooperation between New York law enforcement and federal authorities. Criminal investigations remain distinct from federal civil immigration enforcement.
Here are five major ways Hochul's immigration policies limit state and local cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
On May 27, 2026, Hochul signed the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act.
The law prohibits New York local governments and law-enforcement agencies from entering or remaining in agreements with ICE under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
ICE's 287(g) program allows participating state and local officers to receive training and authorization to perform specified federal immigration-enforcement functions under ICE supervision.
New York's law effectively removed that option for local law-enforcement agencies across the state.
When New York implemented the new restrictions, 12 local law-enforcement agencies had active 287(g) agreements with ICE.
The New York Attorney General's Office notified those agencies that state law required them to unwind their agreements by August 25, 2026.
That meant counties that previously chose to participate in ICE's immigration-enforcement program could no longer maintain those agreements under New York law.
Hochul's immigration policy goes beyond the 287(g) program.
The Local Cops, Local Crimes Act also prohibits local governments and law-enforcement agencies from entering certain arrangements that use local resources or facilities to detain individuals solely for federal civil immigration violations.
This distinction is important.
The law does not prohibit New York police from working with federal authorities on criminal investigations. Instead, it specifically limits state and local participation in civil immigration enforcement.
New York also established the Office of Immigrant Trust (OIT) within the New York Attorney General's Office.
The office is responsible for enforcing state laws that limit state and local involvement in federal civil immigration enforcement.
Its authority includes investigating potential violations, reviewing records, interviewing witnesses, issuing subpoenas and bringing civil actions when warranted.
The office also oversees compliance with restrictions involving 287(g) agreements, state and local resources, sensitive information and other immigration-enforcement activities.
New York has also gone to court to enforce its 287(g) ban.
On August 27, 2026, Attorney General Letitia James and Governor Hochul announced a lawsuit against the Rensselaer County Sheriff's Office after the office did not confirm that it had terminated its 287(g) agreement with ICE by the state's August 25 deadline.
According to the Attorney General's Office, Rensselaer County was the only one of the 12 agencies that had not indicated an intention to dissolve its agreement by that point.
The lawsuit asks a court to compel the Sheriff's Office to terminate the agreement and declare it void and unenforceable under New York law.
Hochul's current policy restricts the extent to which New York state and local government resources can be used for federal civil immigration enforcement.
Under the policies enacted in 2026:
These policies do not prohibit every form of cooperation between New York and federal law enforcement. Hochul's administration has explicitly distinguished criminal investigations from civil immigration enforcement.
There is no single federal legal definition of a “sanctuary state.”
The term is commonly used in political and policy debates to describe jurisdictions that restrict how state or local resources can be used for federal immigration enforcement.
New York's 2026 laws establish several such restrictions, including its prohibition on local 287(g) agreements and limitations on the use of local resources for federal civil immigration enforcement.
For legal accuracy, the more precise description is that New York limits state and local participation in federal civil immigration enforcement.
Yes, in some circumstances. New York's 2026 restrictions primarily concern federal civil immigration enforcement. They do not prohibit cooperation with federal law enforcement in criminal investigations.
Yes. Hochul signed the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act on May 27, 2026. The law prohibits New York local governments and law-enforcement agencies from entering or remaining in 287(g) agreements with ICE.
Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act allows ICE to enter agreements with state and local law-enforcement agencies. Participating officers can receive training and authorization to perform specified immigration-enforcement functions under ICE supervision.
According to the New York Attorney General's Office, 12 local law-enforcement agencies had 287(g) agreements when the state began enforcing its new prohibition in 2026.
New York required existing agencies to exercise their termination provisions by August 25, 2026.
The Office of Immigrant Trust is a bureau within the New York Attorney General's Office created to enforce state civil laws involving immigrant communities and restrictions on state and local participation in federal civil immigration enforcement.
Yes. On August 27, 2026, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Governor Kathy Hochul announced a lawsuit against the Rensselaer County Sheriff's Office over its 287(g) agreement with ICE.
No. The Hochul administration has stated that the law does not prohibit state or local law enforcement from continuing to cooperate with federal law enforcement in criminal investigations.
The Local Cops, Local Crimes Act represents a significant change in how New York participates in federal immigration enforcement.
Rather than allowing individual counties and law-enforcement agencies to decide whether to participate in ICE's 287(g) program, New York state law now prohibits those agreements statewide.
The result is a clear statewide policy: local law-enforcement resources can still be used for policing and criminal investigations, while their use for federal civil immigration enforcement is substantially restricted.

Labor Day honors the hardworking Americans whose sacrifice and determination keep our country running.
From construction sites and factories to farms, hospitals, police departments, and military installations, American workers build our communities, protect our families, and strengthen our nation every day.
They deserve a government that works just as hard to protect them.
National security directly affects the Americans who work, raise families, and build communities across the country.
Working Americans depend on secure borders, enforced laws, safe neighborhoods, strong institutions, and a dependable national defense. This Labor Day, Secure America Now is calling for policies that protect the people who keep our country strong.
SIGN THE PETITION AND STAND WITH AMERICAN WORKERS
Border security is a national security and public safety responsibility.
The federal government must secure the border, enforce immigration laws, and properly screen those entering the United States. Local and federal authorities should also work together to keep dangerous individuals out of American communities.
American workers should not have to bear the consequences of illegal immigration and sanctuary policies. They deserve secure borders, lawful immigration, and leaders committed to public safety.
Law enforcement officers, firefighters, first responders, and service members work every day to protect the American people. Many of them spend Labor Day on duty while others spend time with their families.
Their service and sacrifice must never be taken for granted.
Supporting law enforcement means giving officers and agencies the resources, cooperation, and policies they need to protect our communities.
Protecting American families also requires confronting radical Islamist extremism and preventing extremist networks from influencing the institutions that shape our laws, communities, and national security.
This effort must remain focused on extremists and organizations that promote violence, support terrorism, or threaten the United States.
America must also hold Iran’s regime accountable and prevent it from threatening Americans and our allies. Peace through strength requires clear priorities, credible deterrence, and leaders who put American security first.
American workers deserve:
SIGN THE PETITION AND STAND WITH AMERICAN WORKERS
American workers built this country through sacrifice, determination, and hard work. They deserve more than words of appreciation. They deserve leaders who will defend them.
This Labor Day, Secure America Now stands for secure borders, safe communities, strong law enforcement, and peace through strength.
Stand with Secure America Now and help us keep America safe.
