When ICE agents questioned a group of 11- to 14-year-olds who’d just finished batting practice, their coach, Youman Wilder, stepped in. “I’m willing to die to make sure these kids can get home,” he recounted afterward.

Thank God this man remembered the 5th Ammendment.This happened at a little League game.!!Take this in!!
Great story. Illustrates the humanity of the people, of baseball lovers, of kids, of people who care about kids -- basically everything that ICE is poised to destroy.
Stand up, or be taken down.
When do we do what our Grandfathers did to Facists from 1939 to 1945 to these modern Republikkkanazis!?!?!?
Strong citizens facing the ICE gang.
I believe I saw him on the Rachel Maddow show. God bless him for protecting those children.
The sketch of him is white. That’s weird. refusefascism.org/voices-of-co...
Compelling story. I don’t have much, but I made a donation to his organization when I first read of this.
Beware that for the number willing to die to make sure the kids get back home, a smaller number will kill for the same. Don't be a threat to people's kids.
Legend.
To ICE and this administration, nothing is sacred. Nothing.
ICEstapo strikes again! No pun intended!
Wilder is a hero in so many ways
How many times are you going to repost this?
Yeah, turns out little leagues have been little sex traffickers right under our noses...🙄. When are #IceThugs gonna deal with real criminals?? Little kids?? JFC!! 😡
Heroic coach. He's incredible.
fuck these soulmoaning wraiths. they know no bounds.
A fantastic role- model.
He’s a hero!
America has become a shit hole nation!
Terrible
Greaaaat. Because American kids (& coaches/teachers/staff) haven’t been traumatized enough with active shooter drills & actual school shootings. #ICE monsters. Republicans could stop this TODAY if they had spines & hearts
I understand paywalls. But I miss the days when ads could support media.
Great story.
He is a true hero, God bless him.
It’s like Bush league meets Little League, only far more dangerous.
All to collect a bounty for each ‘illegal migrant’.
Good
Wrong
What’s next, invading maternity wards looking for brown babies to snatch and feed the alligstors?
No need to die to protect the kids, Americans need to insist local law enforcement step up or step down.
Despicable!
It shouldn't be this way
Thank you, Coach.
He is a HERO
Kudos to him. Should follow up with a police report about the pedophiles talking to children whilst dressed as ICE agents.
So if they support a pedophile, wouldn't that make them a pedophile or pedophile adjacent. All ice agents are already essentially pedophiles. and for the algorithm...pedophile pedophile pedophile pedophile
Thank you "Pasco Resists" Town meeting for MIA gus bilirakis. The speakers gave me the needed inspiration to draft "Rage Against the Regime". My lyrics, music and vocals are AI. Please use & share if you like it. So tickled which photo YouTube selected for title youtu.be/_Txy8LGw900?...
Isn't it illegal to interrogate a minor without their parent or guardian present? "Hey ICEholes, leave those kids alone..."
This man is what a true hero looks like!
ICE are bought and paid for kidnappers.
Such courage ! God bless him!
That might be what it takes to rid America of its GOP plague.
Admirable!
That’s the energy the Gestapo and the local cops and military need to here from all of us when they’re wrong become try to kidnap our neighbors.
It’s disgusting watching this B/S happen in this country!
Where are the millionaires that own these sports teams and arenas? They recruit players from all over the world and pay incredible contracts. Where is the outrage? Where is the voice for the players of the countries they poach from? The concession workers? The fans? The silence is deafening.
I won't be surprised if years from now I gets revealed the this regime facilitated human trafficking
www.dailykos.com/stories/2016...
In the first Trump years I believe there was at least one verified incident of people being deported by the trump regime and ending up in the hands of human traffickers & sold into sexual slavery.
Why haven't racist, moronic ice traitors shot anybody yet? They're more disciplined than our police? This should be discussed and taken advantage of
that would be that if they shoot first, it will bring way too much trouble on them than its worth it, as the first american revolution happened when someone shot and killed a protesters in while in a protest's, we never knew who did it but if its enough to spark that...its enough to happen again
Gotta start throwing baseballs at these extrajudicial thugs
Ice agents don't have the authority to question anyone without their parents there. They can stick their heads back up in those holes and we can glue them there for them since they don't seem to really need them for anything.
Rrrrrrrrrrr 🤨😡 another coach with more balls than any maga republican.
Give that man a medal 🏅
I’m so sick of this fucking bullshit
Courageous coach!!! Protecting his guys!!!!
I promise if I see ice agents, they're going to have to beat me to the ground before I watch it happen. My sister has a lawyer on standby. There is an app that notifies you when ice is in your area.
Welcome, I am Ahmed. I live in the city of Gaza. I was displaced for the third time from my home. I now live in a tent and find it difficult to obtain water and food. Can you help me to protect my family? chuffed.org/project/1390...

Anyone seeing these MFs talking to children should treat them like Child Traffikers.

I'm actually amazed by the bravery of some Americans that gives me hope for America. But mostly dread over the massive moral disparity between MAGA and normal people
Thank you for this story. A great man, and great kids.
This is the response to the last administration breaking US Federal law and abetting the invasion of over 20,000,000 illegal aliens. Biden created it, Trump is fixing it. You're welcome!
What reality are you living in? Seriously? Stop listening to your king and wake up.
What part do you not understand? What did you think was going to happen when the last administration left the southern border open to 20,000,000+ unknown people?
So you’re saying 13,600 immigrants crossed the southern border every day for 4 straight years? When you straight up lie at least make it somewhat believable.
Biden's numbers.
Those are Trumps lies. You understand that it’s not possible for those numbers. Officially there were half that number and those were “encounters” not entries. 4.5 million entered and the majority were asylum seekers which makes them legal because it’s not illegal to seek asylum.
I don't think I've heard Trump put a number on it. 20M is the regular number discussed on the mainstream media outlets. Again, IDC how many illegals there are, they do not belong in the USA.
I was going to say isnt america about 300 million people so 15% of people in america is illegal immigrants according to this person. Crazy numbers they are willing to make up to be "right"
One of the surprising facts from USA census bureau is that in 2008 we had over 12 million undocumented immigrants and today the number is 11.7 million undocumented. So we had more undocumented in 2008 but we managed to survive and thrive. Many immigrants return to their home country yearly.
Let's add those illegal aliens to the list. IDC how many illegals you want to count, they have no right to be here.
Are you also planning on deporting the 20% of illegal white immigrants or is it just a racial thing?
ILLEGAL ALIEN IS NOT A RACE. Only the left would conflate legal status with their personal race obsession.
I need said it was wtf? I said is the government or in this case ICE going after the illegal immigrants that are white or are they basing their entire agenda on the fact that a person has just enough melanin to no longer pass as white. Because from what I am seeing 95% of ICE raids are done on POC
If we want to be technical none of us should be here. Unless you are Native. We are all technically illegal on stolen lands but you only care about the illegal people of color.
No one stole this land. This has to be one of the dumbest left wing conspiracies ever. And more of your race obsession. Tell me Cracker, how many races are there on the planet?
Moving the goal posts instead of actually answering. Good job. Very proud of you. Who said I was left wing? And this shit is very much based on skin tone. I know several Hispanic and POC who are absolutely terrified about the racial profiling in this country.
I am Hispanic. Everyone I know and everyone in my family are glad the law is finally being followed again. You realize you cheer against the USA and the rule of law exchange every time you ignore your country and cheerlead for law breaking foreigners?
You're the one on the bullshit stolen land diversion, so stop projecting.
And to say it isnt about racism is fucking ignorant. Don't come at me with the whole "telling me how many races are there" bs because that literally erases the actual fucking problem. I have people in my life who are literally afraid for their lives because they have more melanin than me
It isn't about race or racism. It's illegal aliens on deportation lists. You don't give a shit about the law. Were you outraged when the last administration broke the law and let them all in and gave them tax dollars while displacing Americans to house these people? VERY doubtful.
And I believe that is fucked up. No one and I mean absolutely fucking no one should be afraid they will be abducted because of their skin color or ethnicity. So shut the fuck you.
I HATE bullies.
Children ! These people are beyond indecent.
Youman Wilder is a HERO, protecting our constitution, our democracy, our community, and most of all - our CHILDREN!! Thank you sir!
My god. This is how far we all have to go to b decent Americans.
Jail ICE management
Pathetic and disgusting
Hero
ICE is bad people. They have no redeeming qualities. None.
Good man I would bashed my fish in the "agents" face ! Don't give these people power their week, don't cave to their demands there absurd, and don't bow to any man thats for animals
I would love to read this article if it wasn't behind a paywall.
Click the link then click the “reader view” icon while the page loads to get around most paywalls. See below bottom left.
This is just sick, children the Ice is nothing more then vigilantes.
Thanks. I tried the Android version of reader view, but it didn't work. I'll have to try it on my work iPhone.
Everybody needs to stop calling these profiteering mercenary scum ice agents they are fucking bounty hunters collecting a bounty off of body count
both can be true not calling them ICE agents erases a big part of the issue
I’m not sure if I feel more sad or angry. These kids just finished practicewhy should they be facing law enforcement? What the coach said wasn’t dramatic, it was real responsibility. That’s what adults are supposed to do
Men 🫡
A hero amongst cowards.
Pedophile President and his ICE goons are snatching children, let that sink in
ICE should have their resources put toward rooting out homegrown terrorists. Much more of a danger than these immigrants.
They have much more than that. And they still waste it on innocent people.
Indeed
They ARE the homegrown terrorists.
There is that! 💯👌
Meanwhile, the NRA: (crickets)
Perfect place for pedophiles to stalk for their next victims. ICE.
Reading through the comments, people saying report to the cops. Have you idiots been sleeping under rocks? Not sure how loud I can yell this out... The cops are there to protect ICE, not to take your complaints! Remember Eric Garner. You Idiots.
Brave coach
(1 of 2) PAYWALL. Journos need paychex. Quality news doesn’t cost a dime an issue anymore. When it did, ALL (rich, poor) could afford vetted news. Those days r gone. We should be able to buy 1 DAY’s newspaper or 1 month of an online magazine. #micropayments
(2 of 2) Can’t make enough $$ that way? Ppl can, DO turn to free, right-wing news. Figger it out, or else you’re part of what causes DC chaos.
ICE agents are plain evil!
#FuckICE they are worthless TrumpTrash
A true hero
Armed masked violent criminals attacking American children at Trump and noems pleasure FDT TERRORISM
What Jesus would do. This government is unhinged.
ICE is the evil parents warn their kids about they are no one's hero not anyone who will admit it publicly
We need more heroes like this—people who are willing to sacrifice their bodies by putting them between the innocent and jack-booted thugs
fuck ICE and fuck paywalls
How can these scum bags live with themselves going after children? Why does the right love exploiting children?
The coach is a true hero
Just wondering: What if he add, ", and I have a gun with me.", would that break any law?
I love stories like this. Good men who protect and help children. Something to be proud of. Mr. Wilder 👏👏👏💙‼️
Way to go, Coach!
Unmask these pigs. Stand up to them - have someone film the entire thing if you can. How DARE they interrogate children!
bsky.app/profile/blue...
Baseball represents everything that is good about America. ICE represents everything that is bad.
Deserves a go fund me
Youman is a good man.
As always...you do great work! Too bad Bezos is going to buy your prestigious magazine and more than likely hire an 'ombudsman' to silence you.
You man wiĺder,we see and honor you
#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. #DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. #Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. #PamBondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it. #FuckTrump #Resist #Felon47
Thank god! Finally! 🙄😒
Not on his watch. True blue American hero. Respect and Honor. VOTE.
Harassing children at a little league game. That's the American way now? FFS! We are being governed by cowards. Way to go America!

Feukin shitbyrdz.
We are in the throes of fascism. The coach is a brave, good man. Going forward, we will all be asked to make difficult decisions. May we have the bravery and moral conviction of this brave man.
I keep asking,why does our government not put the same effort into finding child predators it puts into terrorizing law abiding tax paying immigrants???
Bless you Mr Youman! We need a whole army of stand up guys like you! Thank you ⚾️💙
My fellow Americans. ❤️
What an overdramatic self righteous asshole
Congressional Dems need to launch a no-knock systemwide ICE detention audit during recess. Multiple members at each site, wearing body cameras, with photo drones; demand access, census, interviews. Livestream everything. Blitz the news and run ads in all red districts. Hit them before the buildup.
Senators Gallego & Kelly from AZ have no comment on Eloy ICE Detention refusing entry/visit from Congressman Stanton??!!
on their VACATION!?! Are you insane!?
The idea of ICE, like with Board of Ed, NYCHA and the post office, seems great on paper yet in each case, thugs, lazy bureaucrats and cronyism have been allowed to run rampant until the institutions badly deteriorate to the point where abolishing them seems like a good idea. All bec of bad mgmt.
The worst of the worst?
Not normal. stop the insanity especially as it applies to children. no more separation of kids from parents/guardians. throw the bums out who are initiating this
That coach is a hero!
Home as in their country of origin or "home" as in illegal residence in the US?
TO THE DEMOCRAT'S WAKE UP. When I read the Australia ad that introduced new bill limiting the spending on a party to ban billionaires is just $20.000, from buying elections. How wonderful to rid the billionaires America will have the same playing field ,as we the people. July 26, 2025 at 5:07 PM
In the meantime, they're making it safe for domestic terrorists who have been shooting up people : 9 mass shootings over the weekend rock US cities, leaving 5 dead, 56 injured.
Just someone trying to get his 15 min.
GOP = GUARDIANS OF PEDOPHILE !!!
Do something about these scum attacking everybody.
ICE; literal body snatchers 🤢
I wonder what great lengths the average, affluent, white, New Yorker reader would do to fight fascism.
lol they’ll pat themselves on the back for reading and caring about it.
This is America, land of the free?
We need everyone to do this.
I work at a school and I would stand between ICE and my kids any day
youtu.be/aDyQxtg0V2w?...
❤️
Ice agents are a bunch of f****ng losers
Nothing is too low for Republicult fascists
maga sure fucked our country up.
👏👏👏
He's a hero for the ICE age.
This is what it takes. This is what we ALL have to do. TOGETHER. Encircle them. Run them out of town on a rail. They are masked assholes committing criminal acts, not the innocent people they're kidnapping off the street.
Translation “Urban White Progressives fear loss of low income servants”
They are kids. Playing baseball. You enjoy being a complete cunt.
I'm afraid that's what it's going to come to.
Considering the "ICE" agents are getting arrested for child porn, they need to be stopped from taking or being near kids.
Real men still exist
The U.S. population is diverse—about 13% Black, 19% Hispanic, 6% Asian, and growing multiracial groups, per recent Census data—but political power often skews toward entrenched groups, historically white and sometimes Jewish elites.
Good on him.
Anyone ok with what ICE is doing was not raised well. Shame.
Let's slap their mommas... kidding, not kidding
Great great article. What a superior individual he is. Awesome! Thank you for not bending the knee! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
Mr. Wilder should get a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
It's going to come to that before this is over.
My dragon 🐉 is just growling louder and louder…
WTF!!! This regime committing outrageous attacks on civil liberty!!!
If the police can not question a minor without the parents, the dumbass squad shouldn't be allowed either. Seems like a good lawsuit.
Coach as hero.
What part of 'illegal alien' don't you understand?
What part of 'Nazi' don't you understand?
FDR deported illegals. FDR was a Nazi. Truman deported illegals. Eisenhower deported illegals. Eisenhower was a Nazi. Obama put kids in cages. Obama was a Nazi. So many Nazis. So little time.
You arent deporting them if you are putting them into concentration camps. Sure we arent at the stage of extermination (yet) but we are in 1930s Germany when it was "deporting the problem people"
Trump is building detention facilities (in Florida and elsewhere). Detention is part of the deportation process.
Just as Schutzhaft was part of the deportation process to Madagascar. My God, you're so right.
The zero was pro-Open Borders. The public was not. The zero was pro-racism. The public was not. The zero was pro-cheating. The public was not.
You admitted you were a Nazi a while back, but just wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Anyone who disagrees with me (on anything) is a Nazi. Obviously.
I really want to understand how people like you think. So massive nationwide masked armed civilians harassing people based on skin color is just business as usual to you? After all, they could be illegal! Right?
Or have an obsession with learning that time in history and how it happened. And now to see all the similarities to how it started in Germany in my home country and be disgusted and concerned with where in history we are. Go off thinking your opinion isnt that of a Nazi
Show me a court order to deport, and I’ll kick them out myself. But if the proof is some blowhard simply claiming that they “look illegal”, and that’s your justification for detainment and deportation…. Then you’re a nazi.
They’re also probably a bot
They’re also probably a bot as per their profile
Expedited Removal does not require court orders. It's the law.
President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security announced that the administration is now offering new Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruits a whopping signing bonus of up to $50,000. The incentives don't end there. The DHS also stated they get student loan forgiveness. Fucking Trump💩
A good man
By what authority do ICE agents think they can interrogate minor children without their parent/guardian being present - or, was the trap they hoped to set? Courts must hold ICE agents who lie or submit false claims accountable for their actions. Criminal charges must be applied.
Check your state laws, there isn't a federal law requiring parental notification. Unless the state law prohibits it, police can detain a minor without parent or guardian & question them, some only allow an attorney to see the minor. Teach your children-don’t answer questions & say, “I want a lawyer”
Prefer teaching ICE agents to be less criminal.
Don't fork wit New York... OK thanks bye!
Thank you, Coach Wilder!
saw him interviewed. what a wonderful man. wish there were more like him
