U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently warned its agents and officers about growing threats of violence against them as President Donald Trump executes his deportation agenda. According to reports, the threats have surfaced on social media and were sent directly to ICE field offices as the agency has ramped up its raids in recent days.
An anonymous source within ICE spoke to Breitbart Texas about the matter, claiming the Northeastern U.S. ICE field office has received death threats. The threats were reportedly emailed to the office, signed by the individuals making them. The incident echoes broader hostility toward the agency around the nation, where protests against ICE raids have broken out in major cities.
Furthermore, a video recently went viral on social media showing a Hispanic individual calling for aggressive, illegal retaliation against ICE agents to push back against them enforcing U.S. law. The man suggested they take actions such as contaminating food and other forms of abject harassment toward the agents.
“I’m making this video for everybody that has parents or family members that are immigrants, illegal immigrants, that might be hopefully not, but could be facing those just ice rates. We should try to make it as much as uncomfortable for the ice ages as possible,” he said, recording his monologue while driving in the car.
The man continued, “Let me tell you how to make it very uncomfortable if you know any ICE agents and any person that works for ICE or you see a group of them going to lunch, dinner, breakfast, to a restaurant you’re working at, and you happen to be Hispanic, and you happen to be in the kitchen spit on their food. Do unhuman things to their food.”
The individual continued, “There’s a bunch of boxes in Home Depot for nails. They’re like, 10 bucks a box, and each has like, 30 to 50 nails. Those are pretty good. You know what to do with those.” Describing further vile actions, he said, “And they’re already taking your uncle, your dad, your mom, your brother, whatever. Have him take a shit in the truck, on the car, like when they’re getting arrested and they’re being put in their ice truck.”
He concluded his tirade, “If they get if they’re getting arrested, tell them that. Say that they have really bad COVID, even if they’re not one more thing, if you’re in LA and you happen to be a cop, you better do not cooperate with ICE because we’re gonna find you and we’re gonna egg your car. Those are the tips I have. Someone might be legal, you might end up in jail, but it’s better than having them give them an easy way to take our people.”

Numerous other death threats have surfaced on social media where users have called for the murder of ICE agents. Breitbart reported that one post called for using “guns, knives, grenades, or even something makeshift that works, kill them before they hurt you or your close ones!” Some posts have claimed being an ICE agent should be a capital offense.
