The Department of Homeland Security has announced that there has been a staggering 8,000% surge in death threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, who put their lives on the line daily to deport dangerous criminals like murderers, rapists, pedophiles, terrorists, and gang members.
This unprecedented wave of hatred includes bounties on officers’ heads, family threats, stalking, and online doxxing fueled by sanctuary city politicians and their inflammatory comparisons of ICE to the Nazi Gestapo.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin pulled no punches in her statement, saying, “Our ICE law enforcement is now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them while they risk their lives every single day to remove the worst of the worst.”
McLaughlin continued:
“From bounties placed on their heads for their murders, threats to their families, stalking, and doxxing online, our officers are experiencing an unprecedented level of violence and threats against them and their families. Make no mistake, sanctuary politicians are contributing to the surge in violent threats and assaults of our officers through their repeated vilification and demonization tactics, including gross comparisons to the Nazi Gestapo. This violence against law enforcement must end.”
HS Secretary Kristi Noem echoed the sentiment, declaring, “You will not stop us or slow us down. ICE and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
DHS also provided examples of some of the threats these brave officers are facing.
On October 9, illegal alien Eduardo Aguilar from Mexico posted on TikTok in Spanish, soliciting murders of ICE agents.
Aguilar wrote, “10 dudes in Dallas with determination who aren’t afraid to [two skull emojis],” offering “10K for each ICE agent.”
An ICE officer’s spouse in Texas received a horrifying call saying, “I don’t know how you let your husband work for ICE, and you sleep at night. F*** you, f*** your family. I hope your kids get deported by accident. How do you sleep? F*** you. Did you hear what happened to the Nazis after World War II? Because it’s what’s going to happen to your family.”
A voicemail left for an ICE employee this month threatened, “I hope every one of those lawless c**** you call ICE officers gets doxxed one by one.”
On October 22, James Adrian Warren targeted the Ferndale, Washington ICE office on Facebook, calling agents “Nazis” and “The Gestapo,” vowing to observe, tail, record, and report them to “make life harder for ICE here in Whatcom County.”
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, on Halloween, Homeland Security Investigations arrested Florida man Joseph Giancola in Fort Myers for a months-long spree of online death threats against ICE officers.
Posting under the alias “Cain Delon” on Bluesky, Giancola urged violence with messages like “Shoot the ICE Nazis down like the rabid dogs they are,” “Just get a gun and shoot the ICE Nazis down,” and “Shoot those ice thugs dead.”
This alarming rise in threats exposes the deadly consequences of open-border policies and anti-ICE hysteria peddled by Democrats and the mainstream media.
DHS is asking the public to report doxing and harassment against ICE officers by calling 866-DHS-2-ICE (866-347-2423) or by completing ICE’s online tip form.
