Assaults on Federal Officers Surge Amid Anti-ICE Incitement

Democrat Rhetoric, A disturbing trend is escalating across America as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents face a relentless wave of violence. Assaults against these brave men and women—charged with upholding the nation’s immigration laws—have skyrocketed 700%, fueled by the reckless and inflammatory rhetoric of radical Democrat politicians.

Instead of supporting law enforcement, Democrat leaders have chosen to vilify ICE agents with dangerous comparisons and incendiary language. The results have been devastating and deadly.

Fourth of July Ambushes Leave Officers Injured

On July 4, chaos erupted at an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. Eleven radical leftists launched a coordinated assault after vandalizing vehicles with anti-ICE slurs. The attackers baited agents outside, then opened fire, shooting one officer in the neck. This was not a protest—it was an attempted execution.

That same day, in Portland, Oregon, federal ICE officers were ambushed again. Rioters kicked, punched, and attacked them with an incendiary device in a brutal, coordinated attack. These agents, defending federal property and personnel, were forced to endure mob violence in the name of political hatred.

Gunfire Erupts in Texas Days Later

Just three days later, on July 7, gunfire tore through a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas. A man fired dozens of rounds at federal agents, injuring two police officers and a Border Patrol staffer. The message from leftist radicals is now loud and clear: if you wear a badge and enforce the law, you’re a target.

Elected Democrats Fan the Flames

The blame for this growing violence lies with the Democrats whose words have radicalized mobs. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries openly called for people to “fight in the streets” against Trump’s immigration agenda. He also threatened that ICE agents “will be unsuccessful” in protecting their identities “no matter what it takes.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal smeared ICE officers as “deranged” and called resistance to their enforcement efforts “inspiring.” Rep. LaMonica McIver—herself charged with impeding federal officers—told supporters, “We are at war.”

Even Democratic governors and mayors have joined the chorus. Gov. Tim Walz compared ICE to the Gestapo. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu likened them to neo-Nazis. These comparisons are not only inaccurate—they are incitements.

Mainstream Democrats Echo the Hate

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson accused ICE of acting like “secret police.” Sen. Bernie Sanders urged Americans to “stop ICE as soon as possible.” Rep. Kweisi Mfume suggested a “street fight” against Trump’s policies. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez simply stated: “ICE should not exist.”

From Becca Balint calling agents “vigilantes” to Eric Swalwell’s bizarre KGB comparisons, the anti-ICE rhetoric is unrelenting. Rep. Jerry Nadler went so far as to accuse ICE officers of “hiding misbehavior,” justifying their harassment.

Real Consequences for Real Heroes

These verbal attacks are not just words—they are inciting real-world violence. Every ICE officer and Border Patrol agent now faces not only the risk of apprehending criminals but also the risk of being ambushed because of political hatred.

Americans must decide: Will we stand with those who protect our borders—or with those who encourage mobs to attack them?

Conclusion: Political Hate Has Real-World Costs

The surge in attacks on ICE agents is not random. It is the direct result of a coordinated smear campaign by Democrat leaders. Their rhetoric is emboldening radicals and endangering the lives of the very people tasked with keeping our communities safe.

ICE agents are not villains. They are heroes—and they deserve our full support, not slander and violence.
