Didn't they charge Trump with inciting a riot?
Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed by 500% during enforcement operations, according to new data released by the Department of Homeland Security.
Key Details:
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Breitbart News that ICE officers are experiencing a "500% increase in assaults while carrying out enforcement operations."
McLaughlin referenced a recent incident where ICE officers attempted to arrest Roberto Carlos Munoz, an illegal alien and convicted child sex offender. Munoz allegedly dragged an ICE agent 50 yards with his vehicle while fleeing the scene in Bloomington, Minnesota.
McLaughlin criticized Democrats including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for their "repeated vilification" of ICE agents, linking their rhetoric to rising attacks.
Diving Deeper:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are encountering a wave of violence during arrest operations, with attacks on agents having increased by 500%, according to internal Department of Homeland Security data reviewed by Breitbart News. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin called the spike "alarming" and highlighted a recent example involving a violent fugitive who nearly killed an agent during an attempted arrest.
"Just this week, an ICE officer was dragged 50 yards by a car while arresting an illegal alien sex offender," McLaughlin said, referring to Roberto Carlos Munoz, a previously convicted child predator living unlawfully in the United States. Munoz reportedly used his car to evade capture in Bloomington, Minnesota, endangering the life of the officer attempting to take him into custody.

McLaughlin also warned that political rhetoric from high-profile Democrats is inciting hostility toward ICE. "Make no mistake," she said, "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 vilification and demonization of ICE."
She pointed to Jeffries' threat to publicly identify ICE agents, as well as past statements from Wu and Walz comparing the agency to Nazi Germany's secret police. "From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is despicable. This violence against ICE must end," McLaughlin said.

NEW: ICE Deputy Director SLAMS Democrats for Encouraging Violence Against Her Officers.
Democrats are calling for violence... no surprise.
Eric Swalwell: "You have to meet their chaos with your own strength."
But ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan is firing back, warning that this rhetoric is putting lives at risk.
"The men and women of ICE work every day to keep the American people safe."
"It's insane to me to think that politicians are out encouraging people to cause harm to our officers, which is up over 400 percent over the last few years."
"And trying to cause harm to these agents when they're out there doing their job."
"The Democrats continue to say that nobody is above the law, and yet, they will not allow law enforcement officers to do their jobs and enforce the laws that are on the books in the United States."
When politicians inflame mobs instead of enforcing laws...this is the result.
The media has no comment on their current incitements to attack the police.
They are, however, asking Jasmine Rachet if she feels "safe" since the shooting of two Minnesota politicians.
Why ask her? She's not from Minnesota.
I guess they just want to make sure Democrats aren't feeling unsafe due to political violence.
They have no cares about whether Republicans feel safe.
No questions about whether Republicans feel safe given that significant numbers of their party support the back-shooting mentally-ill assassin Luigi Mangione.
No questions about whether Jews feel safe given the Democrat Party's and its allied leftwing parties' support of the Jewish museum assassin.
And, as more and more Democrats physically assault ICE agents and threaten to dox them so that antifa killers can stalk their families no question about whether ICE agents fell safe.
