In American politics, the top two parties working against each other is a tale as old as time. Democrats historically want to grow government, while Republicans work to get government out of the way. President Trump and his administration are working tirelessly to close our border and begin a process of mass deportations—a part of his platform that is wildly popular among his voters. Ironically, Democrat administrations of the past were at least in the ballpark of where President Trump is on this issue. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.
In the past week, it has become more and more dangerous for both ICE and Border Patrol agents. As RedState covered, an ICE agent was shot in Alvarado, Texas. A planned ambush involving ten individuals who have now been charged with attempted murder. On Monday, in McAllen, Texas, border patrol agents were ambushed by an active shooter wearing tactical gear. Thankfully, local police and federal agents returned fire, killing the shooter.
These attacks have become a pattern. Democrats have publicly attacked ICE agents for protecting their identity by wearing masks. Towards the end of June, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) accused ICE agents of “hiding misbehavior” by covering their faces. The White House Rapid Response team correctly pointed out that ICE agents are currently facing a “500% increase in assaults.”
.@RepJerryNadler accuses the brave men and women of ICE—who put themselves in harm’s way to remove dangerous illegals from our communities—of “hiding misbehavior” by protecting their identities.
ICE agents are now facing a 500% increase in assaults thanks to rhetoric like this.

Just yesterday, Axios released an article highlighting unnamed Democrat members of Congress and what they are hearing from their constituents. You truly have to read it for yourself to believe it:
In light of the domestic terror attacks we’re seeing against both ICE and Border Patrol, these comments from Democrat constituents are pure insanity. You may be asking yourself, “What is going on here?” White House Deputy Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller is fed up with these attacks. On Fox News with Jesse Waters, Miller doesn’t mince words with the dangers agents are facing:
JESSE: Mr. Miller, ICE Agents, Border Patrol agents, Cops, are now getting shot at. How is this happening?
Miller: It’s happening because, Jesse, there’s an insurrectionist movement in the Democratic Party that is inspiring domestic terrorism against ICE. When you have the mayor of Los Angeles mobilizing agitators, mobilizing the mob against ICE, saying that federal law enforcement has to leave her city, this is a settled constitutional question. Federal law is the supreme law of the land. You cannot nullify it. You cannot secede from it. It is the law of the United States of America.
So these insurrectionist Democrats are every day engaging in rhetoric that is incentivizing, that is encouraging, that is fomenting violent terrorist attacks against ICE and ICE officers, not only in the shootings that you’ve seen recently, but ICE officers are being doxxed, their families and children are being threatened, their addresses are being posted online. They are being subjected to a campaign of terror by these radical Democrats.
Why, Jesse? What is this all about? This is the central struggle in the West.
Democrats need to come out in full force and condemn these attacks. There is no place for violence as government agencies are just working to do their jobs. These men and women have families. These are real attacks, and democrats need to step up and curb their rhetoric towards securing our border and treat our agents with respect.
Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
