Our brave ICE agents are risking their lives every day to protect our communities. Assaults against these heroes have skyrocketed by 500% according to Homeland Security data. This shocking violence shows the dangers of open borders and weak leadership.
Democrat politicians like Hakeem Jeffries and Mayor Wu are to blame for this surge in attacks. Their hateful rhetoric comparing ICE to Nazis encourages violence against our law enforcement. Just last week, an ICE officer was dragged 50 yards by a car during an arrest. These sanctuary city leaders put our officers in danger.
The White House is taking strong action to secure our borders. ICE arrest quotas have increased to 3,000 per day to remove illegal immigrants. This is a necessary step to restore order after years of Democrat neglect at our southern border.
New data shows most detained illegal immigrants aren’t violent criminals. About 65% of detainees have no criminal convictions at all. Only 7% have violent crime convictions. This proves ICE is focusing on lawbreakers first.
Detention centers are overcrowded because of the border crisis. ICE is holding more people than ever before thanks to Biden’s failed policies. Our brave agents are working hard to process these individuals under difficult conditions.
ICE agents report feeling pressured to meet arrest quotas. Some say this forces them to target easy arrests instead of dangerous criminals. But we must support our officers as they enforce the law fairly and firmly.
Violence against ICE won’t be tolerated. Secretary Noem has promised to prosecute attackers to the fullest extent. Anyone who targets these patriots will face justice.
We stand with ICE agents protecting our nation. These courageous men and women deserve our gratitude as they enforce immigration laws. Supporting law enforcement is the American way.
