Doubling down on her controversial remarks, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) defended her inflammatory claim that ICE acts like a “terrorist force,” claiming agents are “kidnapping” people, including U.S. citizens. Shamelessly, she demanded an apology from President Trump’s administration, and called ICE’s actions “outrageous” and “unconstitutional.”
For context, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson slammed the woke Democrats’ “disgusting comments,” and defended ICE officers as heroic, citing a 500% rise in assaults against ICE agents, which is caused by over-the-top DNC rhetoric.
Starting her wild remarks, Squad member Jayapal claimed, “ICE is acting like a terrorist force. People across the country of all legal statuses — including U.S. citizens — are being kidnapped and disappeared off the street by masked men. No oversight, no accountability. Completely lawless.”
Still not done, she whined, “What is deranged and cruel and outrageous is that, literally, we are seeing ICE agents, I assume they‘re ICE agents. They say they are. They don‘t have any identification. They‘re wearing masks. They‘re in plain clothes. They are coming, kidnapping, and disappearing people on the streets of the United States.”
Continuing her baseless allegations, the Democrat said, “I never in a million years thought that that is something that I would see here in America. And so I think it is the administration that has to apologize to U.S. citizens that have been rounded up to legal, permanent residents, to people with legal statuses across the country who are getting swept up, people who have been here for 20 years and committed no crimes, getting swept up by masked men who are kidnaping them and deporting them.”
Theatrically playing to the crowd, the Squad member raved, “It is absolutely terrorizing people, including small businesses, farmers. The round table I had in Spokane was with people from the Growers League, farmers who are terrified, restaurant owners who can‘t have, you know, who are seeing their sales go down because nobody wants to come out and eat.”
Concluding her vile comments, Jayapal said, “Literally. People are so afraid, Brianna. It‘s never something I thought I would see in the United States of America. The White House owes an apology to the American people for what they are doing.”

Reacting to the Democrats’ unacceptable rhetoric, White House Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, “Jayapal’s disgusting comments warrant an immediate apology. Heroic ICE officers are simply doing their jobs and enforcing federal immigration law, with the utmost professionalism.”
Building on this point, she criticised the congresswoman, noting, “Dangerous smears by deranged leftists like Jayapal radicalize their supporters to violently attack and obstruct federal law enforcement. Because of comments like Jayapal’s, assaults against ICE agents have increased by 500% this year. And that number will go even higher if Jayapal doesn’t stop with her smears.”
Adding his confident rebuke, Border Czar Tom Homan stated, “Assault against ICE is up over 500%. Now you’ve got an app that’s going to tell where ICE operations are going to. It’s only a matter of time before ICE agents are ambushed by some nut, like what happened in L.A., throwing them out a cocktail, throwing bricks at these officers. This is just disgusting at every level.”
