The brave men and women who wear badges face growing hatred as they do their jobs. All across America, law enforcement officers are being attacked not just by criminals, but by harsh words from politicians. These attacks are making their already dangerous jobs even worse.
What happens when elected officials don’t just disagree with the police, but actively work against them? This dangerous trend has reached scary levels lately. One group of officers is getting hit hardest of all – and the numbers will shock you.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents now face a 500 percent increase in attacks while trying to arrest illegal aliens. This alarming fact comes directly from Department of Homeland Security data obtained by Breitbart News.
From ‘Breitbart News’:
“Today, the Department of Homeland Security released new data revealing that ICE law enforcement is now facing a 500% increase in assaults while carrying out enforcement operations,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Breitbart News.
These dangers are real, not just talk. This week, an ICE officer was dragged 50 yards by a car. He was just trying to arrest Roberto Carlos Munoz, an illegal alien and convicted child sex offender in Minnesota. The agent was simply doing his job – removing a dangerous criminal from our streets – when he was violently attacked.
Democrat Politicians Fueling the Fire
While ICE agents risk their lives daily, big-name Democrat politicians compare them to history’s worst villains. Can you believe it? Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz have both publicly compared ICE agents to Nazis.
House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries went even further with what sounds like a threat. He said: “Every single ICE agent who is engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to hide their identities from the American people will be unsuccessful in doing that… every single one of them, no matter what it takes, will be identified.”
Let that sink in. A top Democrat leader is threatening to expose ICE agents who are just doing their jobs!
The DHS Assistant Secretary directly blamed this harsh talk for the rise in violence: “Make no mistake, Democrat politicians like Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Wu of Boston, Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor Bass of Los Angeles are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated attacks on ICE.”
Some Democrat officials have gone beyond words to physical actions. Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was recently charged by a federal grand jury for blocking ICE agents trying to arrest an illegal alien. New York City’s Brad Lander may face charges for allegedly attacking an ICE agent during an arrest.
Endangering Communities by Handcuffing Enforcement
When ICE agents can’t safely do their jobs, who pays the price? We do. The Roberto Carlos Munoz case shows the real dangers – a convicted child sex offender who fought arrest might have stayed on our streets if not for brave ICE agents.
Every roadblock put in ICE’s way means potentially dangerous people remain in our neighborhoods. While Democrat politicians talk about protecting communities, they’re actually making them more dangerous by attacking ICE.
President Trump’s administration has repeatedly stressed the importance of letting ICE do its job. Yet these agents face not just physical attacks from those they arrest, but political attacks from officials who should support law enforcement.
The message to illegal aliens is clear: fighting federal agents is okay and even supported by big-name politicians. This dangerous message puts every law enforcement officer at greater risk.
