Well, no, Nordy.
ICE exists to apprehend illegal immigrsnts per the immigration laws passed by Congress.
ICE agents are experiencing an enormous increase in assaults against their agents.
Do you expect them not to defend themselves when they are attacked by the far left loons who are throwing rocks, urine, and acid at them and when they are driven into by cars?
Get a grip, Nordy. Every illegal captured by ICE is a potential life saved.
The
U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported a
more than 1,300% increase in assaults against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, while independent reviews of public federal court data show a much smaller rise. [
