Democrats’ Violent Rhetoric Leads To Another Attack Against Law Enforcement

Rapid Response

This past weekend, we saw once again that Democrats’ violent rhetoric has real-life consequences.

On Friday night, a group of left-wing rioters planned an “ambush” attack at a detention center in Alvarado, Texas aimed at killing ICE agents. They lured officers outside in an attempt to murder them, shooting one Alvarado police officer in the neck.
 


 

Following this attack, another active shooter stormed the entrance of the U.S. Border Patrol annex in McAllen, Texas to kill border patrol agents.

Violence against ICE officers has increased a staggering 700% as Democrats have continued to incite vicious attacks with their violent rhetoric. 

Unlike Democrats, President Trump and Republicans in Congress are standing by our law enforcement officers. Just this weekend, President Trump signed the One, Big, Beautiful Bill which funds record immigration enforcement to:

  • Remove at least 1 million illegal immigrants each year
  • Hire 10,000 ICE agents & 3,000 Border Patrol agents
  • Finish the border wall
  • Give bonuses to agents on the frontlines

Democrats are responsible for these heinous acts of violence against our law enforcement officers. But rather than condemning these attacks, they want to take them even further. Republicans stand with our law enforcement officers and will not let left-wing violence jeopardize the safety of our American heroes.
