Former ICE Director Jonathan Fahey condemned Democratic leaders for endangering law enforcement officers through inflammatory rhetoric about immigration agents. He highlighted ongoing attacks against ICE and border patrol personnel, accusing politicians of prioritizing open borders over national security. Fahey emphasized that agents face daily risks while enforcing laws Democrats deliberately undermine.
Fahey blasted the demonization of ICE agents as politically motivated and dangerous. He noted that such rhetoric directly fuels hostility toward officers protecting communities. This comes as agents report increased threats during operations nationwide.
The former director tied this hostility to current security vulnerabilities, citing over 2 million unvetted “gotaways” under the previous administration. He warned that adversaries exploited weak border policies to infiltrate operatives, including Iranian nationals with criminal histories now being arrested in ICE sweeps.
Fahey stressed that sanctuary cities become prime targets for foreign threats. Hospitals in these jurisdictions face particular risk from sleeper cells. He connected this danger directly to policies releasing criminal migrants into American neighborhoods.
Recent arrests included Iranians with weapons and domestic violence charges. At least one detainee served as an Iranian military sniper within the past four years. Fahey described these individuals as “the worst of the worst” exploiting lax enforcement.
He credited a Supreme Court ruling for enabling third-country deportations of dangerous individuals. This legal tool helps remove threats who otherwise might remain due to diplomatic hurdles with their home nations.
The veteran official concluded that defunding ICE proposals and anti-enforcement narratives put all Americans at risk. He urged voters to support leaders who prioritize border security over political gamesmanship. Protecting those who protect our nation must become non-negotiable.
Fahey’s message resonates with patriots demanding consequences for politicians undermining law enforcement. Secure borders and supported agents remain fundamental to American safety.
