A chilling new report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reveals an 8,000% explosion in death threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers under President Donald Trump’s administration.
According to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, these brave men and women—who risk their lives daily to remove violent criminals, sex offenders, and gang members—are now being hunted by extremists driven by anti-police rhetoric.
“Our ICE agents are facing an 8,000% increase in death threats as they protect America from murderers, rapists, and terrorists,” McLaughlin said. “They’re being stalked, doxed, and targeted by people placing bounties on their heads. This must end.”
Sanctuary Politicians Blamed for Fueling Hate
McLaughlin directly blamed radical left politicians and so-called “sanctuary city” leaders for spreading lies that compare ICE officers to Nazi police.
That kind of rhetoric, she warned, is putting real lives in danger.
“This violence against law enforcement must end,” she said. “Demonizing officers for enforcing immigration law is unacceptable.”
Conservatives say this growing hostility toward ICE is another example of the Left’s war on law enforcement—from defunding police to protecting illegal aliens instead of American citizens.
Chilling Threats Against ICE Families
The threats aren’t just online—they’ve become deeply personal.
In one shocking case, federal agents arrested Eduardo Aguilar, an illegal alien in Dallas who posted a video offering $10,000 for each ICE agent murdered. He urged others to “step up” and carry out the attacks.
Another ICE officer’s spouse received a disturbing phone call comparing their family to Nazis:
“Did you hear what happened to the Nazis after World War II? That’s what’s coming to your family.”
In Washington State, a Facebook post from James Adrian Warren threatened to “make life harder” for ICE agents, calling them “Gestapo.”
Noem: ‘You Will Not Stop Us’
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem vowed that the wave of intimidation will not stop law enforcement from protecting the country.
“You will not stop us or slow us down,” Noem declared. “If you lay a hand on an officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Officials say the administration is working with federal prosecutors to track down those responsible and strengthen protections for ICE families nationwide.
Bottom Line: Standing With America’s Defenders
This surge in violence highlights the dangerous environment created by anti-law-enforcement rhetoric.
Under President Trump, ICE remains committed to securing the border and removing criminals who threaten American lives—no matter how many threats come their way.
For millions of Americans who still believe in law, order, and border security, this battle isn’t political—it’s about survival.
