Here’s the article I’ve been waiting for, by philosopher Leonard Peikoff.
Dr. Peikoff was closely associated with Ayn Rand for many decades, prior to her death in 1982. She designated him her legal and intellectual heir. This doesn’t mean he speaks for her on the present-day issues of Trump and ICE (nobody can); but he has mighty substantive things to say about the Ayn Rand Institute’s opposition to ICE and even urging advocates of strictly limited government to join forces with Marxists and ideological nihilism (“wokeism”) on the left.
Hopefully this will assist putting the whacked out and intellectually dishonest Ayn Rand Institute on the ash heap of history a bit sooner — though rest assured, the Ayn Rand Institute can easily do that without Leonard Peikoff’s help. [Part 1 of this article on ICE was written by James Valliant, and is also excellent.]
