Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons is sounding the alarm about a critical staffing shortage as his brave officers face unprecedented attacks. Assaults on ICE agents have skyrocketed by a shocking 830% compared to last year. This surge in violence comes as left-wing politicians continue their reckless attacks on our immigration heroes.
Lyons directly blamed Democrat rhetoric for putting his officers in danger. Elected officials who shame ICE agents are encouraging criminals to attack the very people protecting our communities. These radical politicians have blood on their hands as they fuel hatred against law enforcement.
The Trump administration is working overtime to recruit new ICE officers to fill critical gaps. The previous administration allowed so many agents to retire early that we now face a dangerous shortage. Our immigration system was left in shambles by four years of Democrat weakness.
ICE is not just going after violent criminals anymore – they are arresting anyone in the country illegally. This is exactly what real Americans voted for when they chose President Trump. Every illegal immigrant has broken our laws and must face consequences.
The agency recently arrested over 130 Iranian nationals in just seven days as sleeper cell threats grow. Previous administrations left us completely vulnerable to foreign enemies living among us. Only Trump has the courage to protect America from these dangerous infiltrators.
Sanctuary cities continue to shield criminal aliens from justice and put innocent Americans at risk. These radical Democrat strongholds make it safe for the worst criminals to roam our streets. Local politicians care more about protecting illegals than their own citizens.
Democrats are even trying to use artificial intelligence to expose ICE agent identities and put them in more danger. Some liberal mayors have disgracefully compared ICE officers to Nazis while attacks against them multiply. This is the true face of the anti-American left.
President Trump’s new funding will help bring back experienced agents and recruit qualified veterans for this crucial mission. We need every patriotic American to support our ICE heroes as they work to make our communities safe again. The survival of our nation depends on strong immigration enforcement.
