President Donald Trump reacted to Wednesday's shooting at an ICE facility in Texas and along with others in the GOP, called on Democrats to stop attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and demonizing law enforcement.
In a post shared by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Trump wrote that he had been briefed on the shooting in Dallas at the ICE Field Office, and how it's been revealed that the "deranged shooter wrote 'Anti-ICE' messaging on the shell casings."

"This is despicable!" Trump wrote. "The Brave Men and Women of ICE are just trying to do their jobs, and remove the 'WORST of the WORST' Criminals out of our Country, but they are facing an unprecedented increase in threats, violence, and attacks by Deranged Radical Leftists."
"This violence is the result of the Radical Left Democrats constantly demonizing Law Enforcement, calling for ICE to be demolished, and comparing ICE Officers to 'Nazis,'" he added. "The continuing violence from Radical Left Terrorists, in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, must be stopped. ICE Officers, and other Brave Members of Law Enforcement, are under grave threat."
"We have already declared ANTIFA a Terrorist Organization, and I will be signing an Executive Order this week to dismantle these Domestic Terrorism Networks," the president continued. "I AM CALLING ON ALL DEMOCRATS TO STOP THIS RHETORIC AGAINST ICE AND AMERICA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT, RIGHT NOW! The Trump Administration is fully committed to backing Law Enforcement, Strong Borders, securing our Homeland, deporting Violent Illegal Criminals, and fully rooting out the Left Wing Domestic Terrorism that is terrorizing our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

As my RedState colleague Nick Arama reported following the shooting, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said, "This needs to stop. Politically motivated violence is wrong."
"It was two weeks ago today that we saw a political assassination [of Charlie Kirk] in Utah that tore the heart out of much of this country," Cruz said,
"This is the third shooting in Texas directed at ICE or CBP. This must stop. To every politician demonizing ICE and demonizing CBP, stop," he added. To every politician demanding that ICE agents be doxxed and calling for people to go after their families, stop. This has very real consequences...Your political opponents are not Nazis."
"And we ought to come together and have some decency across the political aisle to say this violence is wrong and it needs to stop," Cruz continued.
Arama also wrote earlier about Newsom's appearance on "Colbert":
As I reported, California Gov. Gavin Newsom went on a wild anti-ICE rant on Tuesday night's Stephen Colbert's show, claiming they were disappearing people off the street without due process. He also demonized President Donald Trump, calling him a "son of a b***h" and saying he didn't think he was going to allow another election.
But he's not the only one - there have been many politicians and many more in the leftist media. ICE is enforcing the law. It's Democrats who are acting contrary to the rule of law and contrary to the best interests of the American people, just because they want to attack Trump.
And as my colleague Mike Miller wrote, during an event in North Carolina on Wednesday, Vice President J.D. Vance "went off on the insanity, while speaking about the ICE-related shooting — in no uncertain terms." He said:
If your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell, and you have no place in the political conversation of the United States of America!
Yes, all of this. Otherwise, things are going to get so much worse here.
