Increasing violence and intimidation against U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers has led to numerous arrests and legal actions. The number of assaults on ICE personnel has significantly risen, prompting a swift response from law enforcement.
• The assaults on ICE officers have increased by 1,000% compared to last year, following a 413% increase earlier in June.
• Major incidents of violence have occurred predominantly in Democratic-controlled cities, including Los Angeles and Chicago, with protesters using weapons like Molotov cocktails and rocks against federal vehicles.
• Doxxing, which involves revealing personal information like names and addresses to incite violence against individuals, has become a common tactic against ICE officers and their families.
• In California, three women were indicted for livestreaming their pursuit of an ICE agent to his home and sharing his address on Instagram, inciting public harassment.
• A separate arrest involved Gregory John Curcio, who doxxed an ICE attorney and allegedly encouraged violent responses against her, including swatting.
• Additional threats have surfaced involving phone calls and messages directed at the spouses of ICE officers, threatening their safety and invoking violent historical comparisons.
• In Chicago, an individual was arrested for making terroristic threats against ICE officers and carrying a firearm while calling for violence on social media.
The ongoing trend of violence, threats, and doxxing against ICE officers underscores a troubling climate for law enforcement. Authorities are responding vigorously to hold individuals accountable for these actions and to protect the safety of federal agents and their families.
