DHS Reports Sharp Rise in Vehicular and Physical Attacks on ICE Officers

Assaults on ICE officers rose 1,300%, vehicular attacks 3,200%, and death threats 8,000%, prompting self-defense shootings, DHS reported.

  • Last week, the Department of Homeland Security reported assaults against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers increased by 1,000%, vehicular attacks rose 3,200%, and death threats surged 8,000%.
  • DHS said suspects weaponized vehicles—ramming or accelerating toward U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers—in Minneapolis, Portland and Los Angeles enforcement operations.
  • One ICE officer was struck and dragged, firing in self-defense, while a U.S. Marshal's hand was hit by a ricocheted bullet, DHS said.
  • The department described the shootings as justified and in self-defense, but local and state officials dispute the account and a federal judge recently dismissed assault charges against Carlitos Ricardo Parias.
  • Enforcement actions continue as attacks against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have increased, with several suspects linked to prior removal orders or Tren de Aragua, DHS said.
