Democrats Demonized ICE Agents, Now Assaults On Officers Are Increasing

Rapid Response

Democrats' "anti-ICE" rhetoric has spurred a major increase in attacks on ICE agents.

This morning a shooter opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas. One of the recovered shell casings had "ANTI ICE" engraved on it. This is not the first attack on this facility — just last month they faced a bomb threat.
 


 

Democrats must stop demonizing the men and women of ICE:

  • Boston Mayor Michelle Wu compares ICE agents to neo-Nazis and refused to work with them.
  • California Governor Gavin Newsom called ICE agents the “secret police” while invoking North Korea and the Soviet Union.
  • California Rep. David Min smeared ICE Agents for doing their jobs, claiming it's "illegal" and "unconstitutional."
  • California Rep. Jimmy Gomez said ICE agents are arresting "anyone who is brown, that looks like me."
  • California Rep. Eric Swalwell compared ICE agents to ANTIFA.
  • California Senator Alex Padilla  said ICE agents "intentionally created chaos" and suggested they are "unconstitutional" and "bad for democracy."
  • California Rep. Salud Carbajal doxed an ICE officer to a violent mob.

  • Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams said ICE is the "secret police" conducting “inhumane abductions and illegal deportations."
  • Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said America is "essentially" becoming "Nazi Germany" because of the work of ICE.
  • Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez: "ICE is a terrorist organization. It needs to be defunded. It needs to be abolished."
  • Illinois Rep. Eric Sorensen: What ICE is doing is "un-American" and "atrocious."
  • Illinois Rep. Chuy Garcia: “We’re seeing aggressive Gestapo-type tactics … "
  • Illinois Mayor Daniel Biss bragged about obstructing ICE operations.
  • Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass: ICE is "hunting people that look like they're Latino."

  • New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver was arrested for assaulting an ICE agent when she tried to break into an ICE facility.
  • New Mexico Rep. Gabe Vasquez said ICE is “disappearing mothers, fathers, children, with no regard to their value or contributions to their communities"
  • New York Rep. Tom Suozzi boasted when he was Nassau County Executive that he "kicked ICE from Nassau County."
  • New York Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani: "We have to stand up and fight back" against ICE.
  • New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fundraised off of abolishing ICE: ICE "should not exist."
  • Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee: "Our police do not cooperate with ICE"
  • Pennsylvania County Commissioner Jon Irons: "Our position to stand in front & block ICE…”\
  • Portland Mayor Keith Wilson: "We won’t be engaging or working with ICE in any circumstances.”
  • Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett: “When I see ICE, I see slave patrols."
  • Texas Rep. Greg Casar vowed to block ICE funding if Democrats flip the House.
  • Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders: "We got to figure out a way to stop ICE from what they are doing as soon as possible."
  • Virginia Gubernatorial Candidate Abigail Spanberger: "I have been quite clear that I oppose any mandates that require localities to do the work of ICE officials."

Will Democrats denounce their rhetoric or allow their far-left base – the same lunatics who said they need to be "willing to get shot" when obstructing ICE agents – control them?
