Since President Donald Trump commenced his mass deportation effort, anti-ICE activists have increasingly attacked federal authorities who are making the campaign promise a reality.
ICE officers have faced a more than 1,150% increase in assaults and an 8,000% surge in death threats, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
One of the most egregious examples was perpetrated by the first alleged Antifa members to face terrorism charges for shooting up an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas.
Eleven militants allegedly lured officers out of the facility by setting off fireworks on July 4 before ambushing them with gunfire, resulting in the injury of one local police officer.
One of the suspects, former Marine Corps Reservist Benjamin Hanil Song, was on the run for a week before authorities caught him.
In nearby Dallas, Joshua Jahn, 29, opened fire from a rooftop hoping to kill ICE officers, but ended up killing two detainees. Jahn turned the gun on himself and died at the scene.
Jahn left bullet casings engraved with the phrase “ANTI-ICE” that revealed the “ideological motive” behind the attack, according to the FBI.

Jahn “conducted multiple searches of ballistics and the ‘Charlie Kirk Shot Video’” in the days leading up to the shooting, according to the FBI. He also left a chilling note that read: “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?’”
This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities.

The shooter also used apps that expose ICE agents’ locations and downloaded a list of Homeland Security facilities, the FBI said.
Far-left Illinois congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh, 26, was indicted in October after she tried to block an ICE vehicle outside the agency’s facility in Broadview, Illinois, as seen in a video posted to her social media.
The video appeared to show Abughazaleh with a group of anti-ICE activists pushing her body against the front of the ICE vehicle.
“I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice,” she wrote on X. “This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.”

Alejandro Theodoro Orellana allegedly drove a truck in June that carried bionic shield face masks that were distributed to anti-ICE rioters in downtown Los Angeles. It came as rioters blocked major highways, set cars ablaze, and hurled concrete blocks at ICE agents to protest the Trump administration’s deportation campaign.
The FBI found Orellana two days later.
