The White House
As ICE agents risk their lives to secure our borders and protect our communities, they're facing a 700% surge in assaults - a direct consequence of dangerous, inflammatory rhetoric from Democrat politicians.
The attacks have only gotten more brazen in recent days:
- On July 4, 11 leftist criminals ambushed officers at an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. After defacing vehicles with anti-ICE graffiti - including "ICE pig" and "F- you pigs" - the assailants lured officers out of the building and opened fire, shooting one officer in the neck.
- On July 4, deranged rioters viciously assaulted federal agents at an ICE facility in Portland, Oregon. Officers were kicked, punched, and targeted with an "incendiary device."
- On July 7, a man unleashed a barrage of gunfire at a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas. The attack, which saw dozens of rounds fired at the building and agents inside, sent two police officers and a Border Patrol employee to the hospital.
This is the result of unhinged Democrats inciting rhetoric and lies:
- Rep. Hakeem Jeffries implored people to "fight" the Trump Administration "in the streets" and declared ICE agents "will be unsuccessful" in protecting their identities "no matter what it takes."
- Rep. Pramila Jayapal called ICE agents "deranged" and said it is "inspiring" to obstruct immigration enforcement.
- Rep. LaMonica McIver - who was charged with "forcibly impeding and interfering with federal officers" - incited her supporters to "shut down the city" because "we are at war."
- Gov. Tim Walz smeared ICE agents as the "modern-day Gestapo."
- Boston Mayor Michelle Wu compared ICE agents to the neo-Nazi group NSC-131.
- Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson accused "secret police" of "terrorizing our communities."
- Sen. Bernie Sanders asked people to "figure out a way to stop ICE from what they are doing as soon as possible."
- Rep. Kweisi Mfume challenged the Trump Administration to "a street fight."
- Rep. Stephen Lynch smeared ICE agents as "the Gestapo" and "nondescript thugs."
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said ICE "should not exist."
- Rep. Becca Balint called ICE agents "vigilantes" who can't be trusted.
- Rep. Eric Swalwell said it was his "priority" to ensure ICE agents "are no longer faceless," comparing them to "some 1800s bank robber or some KGB officer in Russia."
- Rep. Dan Goldman compared federal agents to "secret police" who must be unmasked.
- Rep. Jerry Nadler accused ICE agents of "hiding misbehavior because otherwise why would they be wearing masks?"
