This isn’t rhetoric. This isn’t exaggeration. These are Department of Homeland Security statistics.

Assaults on ICE officers: up 1,300 percent.

Vehicular attacks on ICE officers: up 3,200 percent.

Death threats against ICE officers: up 8,000 percent.

Federal agents enforcing immigration law are under siege. And the people attacking them think they’re the good guys.

The Numbers Are Staggering

Let’s put this in perspective.

By November 2024, there had been 2 vehicular attacks against ICE officers during that period. By November 2025, there were 28 — a 1,300 percent increase.

That percentage has since nearly tripled to 3,200 percent as attacks continue.

Border Patrol saw 71 vehicular attacks compared to 45 the previous year — a 58 percent increase. ICE is seeing something far more dramatic.

Agents aren’t facing protesters with signs. They’re facing people trying to kill them with cars.

Minneapolis and Portland

Two incidents in one week illustrate the pattern.

In Minneapolis, Renee Good allegedly drove her car at ICE agents during an enforcement operation. An agent fired in self-defense. Good died.

The next day in Portland, two Venezuelan nationals — alleged Tren de Aragua gang members — attempted to run over a Border Patrol agent with their vehicle. The agent shot them.

DHS describes both shootings as justified self-defense. Local officials in Minneapolis disagree. The courts will sort it out.

But the pattern is undeniable: people are using vehicles as weapons against federal agents.

Who’s Doing This?

The vehicular attacks come from two sources.

First: illegal aliens who don’t want to be arrested. The Portland attackers were Venezuelan nationals, allegedly gang members. They wouldn’t have been in Oregon at all without Biden’s open border policies.

Second: American activists who’ve been radicalized to view ICE agents as legitimate targets. Renee Good moved to Minneapolis specifically to join the “ICE Watch” network. She was trained to confront federal agents.

Both groups have concluded that running over law enforcement officers is acceptable.

8,000 Percent Increase in Death Threats

Death threats against ICE agents have increased 8,000 percent.

Eight thousand percent.

These agents have families. They have homes. They have children who go to schools where protesters show up. They have spouses who worry every time they go to work.

And the people threatening them think they’re fighting fascism.

The Insurrection Nobody Calls an Insurrection

Democrats spent years calling January 6 an “insurrection” — people walking through the Capitol taking selfies, breaking windows, being obnoxious.

What’s happening to ICE agents is actual political violence. Organized. Escalating. Designed to prevent federal law enforcement from functioning.

Vehicular attacks. Death threats. Coordinated interference. Training activists in “de-arrest” tactics. Publishing agents’ locations. Following them to hotels.

If this were happening to any other federal agency, it would be called domestic terrorism. Because it’s ICE, progressives call it “resistance.”

The Activists Are Playing a Dangerous Game

The people attacking ICE agents seem to think this ends with federal agents backing down.

It won’t.

When you try to run over a law enforcement officer, that officer will defend himself. When you escalate violence, you invite violent response. When you treat federal agents as enemy combatants, you become one yourself.

Renee Good found out the hard way. So did the Portland attackers.

More will follow if this continues.

Who’s Funding This?

Trump has promised to expose who’s funding the anti-ICE violence.

The organizations are known: ICE Watch Minneapolis, Twin Cities Ungovernables, Indivisible. The funding trails lead to Soros-backed groups and networks connected to designated terrorist organizations.

But the specific funding for the escalating violence — who’s paying for the training, the coordination, the radicalization — remains unclear.

That investigation is coming. The organizations encouraging attacks on federal agents should be very nervous.

Law Enforcement Is Dangerous. This Is Different.

Yes, law enforcement has always been dangerous. Officers face risks. That’s part of the job.

But a 3,200 percent increase in vehicular attacks isn’t normal risk. That’s a coordinated campaign of violence against a specific agency.

The officers enforcing immigration law are doing nothing more than executing laws passed by Congress through constitutional processes. They’re cleaning up the mess the Biden administration created.

And they’re being hunted for it.

“Actual, No-Schiff Insurrection”

RedState’s Ward Clark put it bluntly: the left has “their toes right up on this line, and seem poised to step over.”

January 6 involved people trespassing in a building. What’s happening to ICE involves attempted murder of federal agents.

One resulted in years of prosecutions and a congressional investigation. The other results in progressive politicians calling the agents “murderers” and demanding ICE be abolished.

The double standard is obvious. And dangerous.

How This Ends

Two possibilities.

Either the violence continues to escalate until something truly catastrophic happens — a mass casualty event, a dead agent, a firefight with protesters. At that point, the federal response will be overwhelming, and the activists will discover what actual federal force looks like.

Or the funding gets cut, the organizers get prosecuted, and the movement loses momentum before it gets worse.

Trump seems inclined toward the second option. The February 1 funding cutoff for sanctuary cities. The investigations into resistance networks. The exposure of who’s paying for this.

The activists have 3,200 percent more reasons to reconsider their tactics.

Because the agents they’re attacking? They shoot back.
