ICE Facility Attacked, Officer Shot — Trump Admin Promises 'Zero Tolerance' Crackdown
The Trump administration has vowed a “zero tolerance” policy after a local police officer was shot near an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas on Friday.
“We are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the USAOs and our law enforcement partners,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted on Saturday to the social media site X.
He added: “The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible.”
Blanche’s post referred to incidents that took place at Department of Homeland Security (DHS) facilities in Prairieland, Texas, and in Portland, Oregon.
A local officer was shot after responding to reports of a suspicious person with a gun in Texas on Friday.
Protesters in Oregon “clashed with federal officers at the Portland ICE facility, after President Trump signed his ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ into law,” according to the New York Post.
KDFW reported that several suspects were “arrested after an officer with the Alvarado Police Department was shot at around 11 p.m. while responding to reports of a suspicious person.”
When police attempted to investigate the individual, shots were fired at them, with at least one officer being hit in the neck.
The officer was then flown to a hospital in Fort Worth for treatment.
A total of “eight people” were arrested, a federal law enforcement officer told CBS News.
According to the source, a dozen masked individuals — dressed in black — came to the Prairieland ICE detention facility to “vandalize vehicles and security cameras in the parking lot.”
These fringe leftists are taking things to the extreme and will force law enforcement to crack down harder and carry out their agenda faster — especially when one of their own is put in the line of fire.
The rhetoric coming from the left is attempting to paint President Trump as a supervillain who needs to be stopped at all costs.
It’s no surprise such rhetoric has trickled down to social media, with some users even suggesting that the murder of the commander-in-chief would be a good thing.
Vigilantes, under the guise of righteousness, are being used to carry out violence — and that will only lead to more chaos, which is probably the point.
Unlike the last administration, bad actors can no longer use looting, violence, murder, mayhem, and fear to get their way.
