A Rhode Island Democrat Threatened ICE Agents — DHS Responded by Listing the Criminals He Wants to Protect

Whether anyone will pursue it is a different question. The answer is

almost certainly no, which is exactly the problem. The tolerance for left-wing threats against law enforcement has reached the point where a state legislator can swear on his social media account that ICE agents face a reckoning and face no consequence whatsoever. Meanwhile, Libs of TikTok noted — as a pointed reminder — that Sanchez has a DUI on his record. A man threatening federal agents has a history with law enforcement himself. The irony is almost too perfect.

The DHS also noted something that should be part of every conversation about anti-ICE rhetoric: assaults against ICE officers have increased by 1,300% as a direct result of the demonization campaign the left has been running against federal immigration enforcement. Not a rounding error. Not a modest uptick. 1,300%. Every politician who calls ICE agents storm troopers, every activist who blocks enforcement operations, every state representative who goes on social media to threaten a “day of reckoning” — they are contributing to an environment in which federal officers are getting attacked at record rates.
