DHS: Assaults on ICE now up nearly 700% over same time last year

The Department of Homeland Security informed Fox News that attacks on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and federal agents engaged in immigration enforcement have surged by almost 700% compared to the same period last year.

DHS documented 10 assault incidents from January 21, 2024, to June 30, 2024. Since the day following President Donald Trump’s inauguration earlier this year up to Monday, the department has noted 79 assault incidents, indicating a 690% rise year over year.

DHS said the true number is likely higher as they are moving at such a fast pace that some assault reports may not be accounted for yet. 

Court documents state that Hurtado-Cariaco managed to throw the agent off him, causing the agent to be launched into the air. As additional officers attempted to intervene, he allegedly put the injured agent in a chokehold until officers managed to pull him away.

DHS has also identified Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, a child sex offender and illegal alien from Mexico who allegedly dragged an ICE officer 50 yards down the street with his car while trying to evade arrest in Bloomington, Minnesota, last month.

“This illegal alien has been committing violent crimes in the U.S. for nearly 15 years,” Laughlin said. “He is a convicted child sex offender who has a rap sheet that includes an arrest for domestic assault and multiple driving offenses. Under Gov. Tim Walz, this sicko was living in Minnesota without consequence. Instead of comparing ICE law enforcement to the Gestapo, Gov. Walz should be thanking our brave law enforcement for arresting these violent criminals.”

Trump, meanwhile, is traveling Tuesday to a newly constructed remote immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz.” 

“This is not a nice business,” Trump told reporters of his deportation efforts while departing the White House earlier Tuesday.

The facility, assembled on a remote airstrip about 50 miles west of Miami, could house 5,000 detainees. 

Republicans are inching close to passing Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” after getting through a final Senate vote on Tuesday. If passed by the House, the bill would provide some $350 billion for Trump’s border and national security agenda, including $46 billion for the U.S.-Mexico border wall and $45 billion for 100,000 migrant detention facility beds, as he aims to fulfill his promise of the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history.

The package also includes funding for hiring 10,000 new ICE officers, with $10,000 signing bonuses and a surge of Border Patrol officers, as well. The goal is to deport some 1 million people per year.

The Homeland Security secretary would have a new $10 billion fund for grants for states that help with federal immigration enforcement and deportation actions.
