Federal immigration agents are facing an unprecedented campaign of violence and intimidation.

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), physical assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have surged 830 percent since January as local officials leak agents’ information and Mexican cartels offer tens of thousands in cash bounties for their assault and murder.

Yes, these actions go beyond "free speech"; they are acting as accessories to crimes and violence. They should be charged, arrested, jailed and tried as such.

Agreed - the free speech standard does not extend to that which puts agents' lives at risk

It's long overdue to start arresting Democrat lawmakers of all branches of government for perverting justice and inciting violence against Federal agents.

There's been way too much shameful and dangerous conduct coming from Congress over the past year

It’s disgraceful. Our elected representatives are ignoring our laws and disregarding our rights as citizens. They should be arrested and thrown in jail as should anyone else doing this.

Yet another case of Dems plotting against the system voters wanted installed, per the last election for President. Is this The American Way? Is this leading to Civil War, neighbor against neighbor, father against son? How will this ever get sorted out when both sides think they are right, but at least one is Left? The Left is so caught up in their Dogmatism, Closed-mindedness:, Inflexibility, Obstinacy, Partisanship, confirmation Bias(call it what you may) that they fail to see TheTruth!

Absolutely! Those who fight against our Federal Agents, who are doing their job to uphold our laws, in any way are committing treason & should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Anyone Who has Exposed Federal agents to DOXXING should be charged with aiding attempted murder and jailed for life. They should also loose their citizenship and voting rights. Progressivelikethisneedtobe stopped. They have learned the art of using our system against us.

We need to arrest those who doxx or harass Ice Agents in any way and try them for treason.

Absolutely! I wonder how long the exposing of home addresses, license plates and other personal information would last if the senators (I can't give them the credit to capitalize!) and doxxers were in the agent's shoes or if family members of theirs were to be harmed by an illegal! God help the USA and our citizens. These people need to be arrested and held accountable for their violence against not only Federal agents but fellow citizens.

There should be arrested and in jail for blocking access. They are accessories to crimes and are inciting more unrest. This is my rule not free speech.

These actions are equivalent to the threat of physical harm and should be prosecuted as such. The self-righteous Demoncraps feel that their actions are fully justified to preserve their future voters. They should be arrested and prosecuted.

What they are doing is not only a crime, it's unethical and reprehensible. Were I a registered Dem I would immediately change my registration at least to Independent. No way would I be associated with such trash.

Yes, there should be severe consequences for doxxing, even more so when it can be tied to a local or state or federal official. It puts more than ICE agents themselves in grave danger of violence or death, but also their families, including their children.

One answer: have them declared "confidential assets", then publishing ANY Personal information violates Federal Law.

Good idea!

Absolutely YES! These are existential threats to the lives of ICE agents. It's not a game. It's not a legitimate protest or expression of free speech. They need to be arrested and held responsible, especially the politicians egging them on.

Yes, Inciting Violence, free speech???

The Green Light has essentially been given to obliterate the Mexican Cartels by way of them putting bounties on Federal Agents. That along with sending their poison drugs across our borders unequivocally puts bounties on their entire criminal operations. Next you hit Sorros (Open Society) and any and all big donors backing Antifa/BLM, etc.. And when I say hit, I mean destroy an vestige of their criminal funding operations first and foremost, we can sort them out individually thereafter. Lastly whatever remnants remain of Antifa/BLM/Muslim Bro-hood and any other ignorant anti-American schmucks can be rounded up accordingly and imprisoned for their insurrectionist/terroristic behavior. Then the puppet parasites in our government (federal/state), judges, etc. can have our undivided attention. It's not all that complicated folks to remedy this matter. Just a matter of actually doing it..

This can’t even be a question! For far too long we (god fearing, patriotic, love your neighbor folk) turned the other cheek, and now we are fighting the enemy within.

The left-wing politicians and their evil minions should all be arrested and “doxxed” to the public for treason and inciting hate and violence.

Doxxing should be made illegal. It is NOT free speech to advertise someone's personal information to invite violence against them.

Avatar

Those in state and/or federal positions who provide any type of personal information to these groups should be arrested and charged and removed from their positions, whatever their positions.

Avatar

Jim Harmon1 year ago

They should absolutely be held accountable as much as the law allows, including incarceration without bond. Just as guilty are the lawmakers who facilitate violence against ICE, especially representatives Carbajal and Croke. What they did should get them censured in congress and indicted for inciting violence.

Maybe ICE should use Antifa costumes since Democrat law makers don’t like what ICE is wearing.

I Like it, But you'd need some kind of hard to copy silent identifier.
