WASHINGTON —The heroic men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) work around the clock to detain and deport criminal illegal aliens from the U.S. Since President Trump returned to office, ICE has deported murderers, wife-beaters, child sex predators, and violent gang members, making our communities safer. Despite the important work this agency does day in and day out, Democrats take the side of the criminals and want to defund and dismantle it.
“While Republicans are supporting the men and women of ICE through the One Big Beautiful Bill, Democrats are fighting for illegal aliens and against law enforcement agents. They’re defending the violent anti-ICE protesters in Los Angeles. They visited a violent MS-13 gang member and human trafficker in El Salvador,” Speaker Johnson said. “They charged an ICE facility in Newark and clashed with ICE officers. That was members of the House of Representatives doing that. They’re advocating for people to dox ICE agents and making them targets for threats from radicals. And they’re calling for the elimination of ICE.”
DEMOCRATS IN THEIR OWN WORDS
“I believe that ICE, an agency that was just formed in 2003 during the Patriot Act era, is a rogue agency that should not exist.” – Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
“Every single ICE agent who’s 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, no matter how long it takes, will, of course, be identified.” — Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries
“Donald Trump’s modern-day gestapo…” — Minnesota Governor Tim Walz
“I don’t know of any police department that routinely wears masks. We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks. NSC-131 routinely wears masks.” — Boston Mayor Michelle Wu
“ICE, get the f*** out of L.A.” — Rep. Norma Torres
“This is not immigration policy that we’re seeing unfold. This is domestic terrorism.” – Rep. Kamlager-Dove
Activists are taking these words to heart. According to the Department of Homeland Security, brave and patriotic ICE agents are facing a 413% increase in assaults against them.
