ICE – Immigration and Customs Enforcement

The Purpose of ICE

ICE was formed in 2003 as part of the Department of Homeland Security, following the September 11, 2001 terrorists attacks. ICE merged the functions of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the U.S. Customs Service to enforce immigration laws. The U.S. has been deporting illegals for over a century and it was never an issue until fascist democrats made it an issue in 2025.

The United States – like every other country – has a border for a reason. We control who enters. When people come in illegally, it is the job of ICE to arrest and deport them. This is AMERICA, which was founded on the Rule of Law.

Unjustified attacks on ICE

It is time to recognize the obvious. The democrat party promotes political violence and anarchy. For four years, democrats allowed millions of people to enter the country illegally and now democrats are trying to stop them from being deported – and tearing the country apart.

It is the democrat Party – NOT Trump or ICE – who is responsible for creating violence and anarchy in our streets and than justifying this violence. Democrats seem incapable of recognizing the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigrants. We welcome legal immigrants. We deport illegal immigrants. Simple. The US has screened immigrants for over a century. Nothing wrong with sending anti-Americans back where they came from.

The ‘resist authority’ rhetoric preached by democratic party anarchists is 100% responsible for this street violence. Then democrats blame ICE for the people who get injured or killed. Renee Good and Alex Pretti allowed themselves to be manipulated and than got into a physical confrontation
with ICE. Democrats got what they wanted – two trophies. If Pretti and Good had stayed home or demonstrated peacefully they would be alive today.

People all around the country should be cheering ICE when they come to your city because they will be removing people who shouldn’t be here and could be a criminal. Illegal entry into America is a crime. Our border needs to be respected. People in the U.S. illegally should self-deport and come back the legal way.

If Renee Good or Pretti had been killed by an illegal alien, Democrats wouldn’t care. Hundreds of Americans have been murdered by illegals over the years and democrats could care less.

Gov. Shapiro LIES about ICE

We now know Gov. Shapiro is an anarchist who opposes the Rule of Law. Like most democrats, Shapiro blames ICE for the violence at ICE operations. This is ridiculous and obviously not true. The people violently attacking ICE agents and interfering are responsible for the violence. ICE agents have the right to defend themselves.

On Jan 29, 2026 Gov. Shapiro posted on X: “Donald Trump talks a big game about keeping our communities safe. Then he turns around and sends masked ICE and CBP agents to wreak havoc on our communities. He’s creating more chaos, violating our rights, and eroding the trust between law enforcement and our communities. Donald Trump is failing at his fundamental responsibility as a leader.”

Shapiro also said on a TV interview posted on X:

“At the end of the day, my fundamental responsibility – and this is true of the president, true of any governor, true of any mayor or executive, is to keep people safe. And to know that the federal government is the reason why people aren’t safe in their community.

This is not okay what we are seeing and we need to stand up to it. . . .’ (1)

Shapiro is the enemy of the Rule of Law and promotes anarchy. Shapiro is not fit to be governor.

ICE Statistics

Between the president’s Jan. 20, 2025, inauguration and the end of November, Trump’s administration arrested an extraordinary total of 595,000 illegal aliens and deported 605,000. The 170 US citizens detained by ICE included about 130 arrested for interfering with or assaulting officers, according to the left-leaning ProPublica — justifiable under any reading of the law.

Only about 40 or so of those who were detained claimed to be US citizens accidentally arrested by ICE, and just half of those people were held for more than a day; most were released in a few hours.
Any error is serious, but 40 mistakes out of 595,000 arrests amounts to an error rate of just 0.0067% — roughly one wrongful detention for every 14,925 arrests.

Compare that with the final two years of President Barack Obama’s administration. In fiscal years 2015 and 2016, ICE recorded 263 mistaken arrests, 54 mistaken detentions (book-ins), and four mistaken removals. Democrats didn’t riot about this.

During those two years, ICE made a mere 239,645 arrests, meaning the 54 mistaken detentions alone produced an Obama error rate of 0.0225% — about one mistake for every 4,444 arrests. Overall, the error rate under Obama was 3.36 times higher than under Trump. Unfortunately, there’s no comparable public data for other past administrations, or the rest of the Obama years.

During the course of Obama’s two terms, from 2009 to 2017, 56 individuals died in ICE custody. That administration didn’t publish detention totals, but the closest available figures show about 498,646
detentions and deportations over five fiscal years, an average of roughly 99,729 per year.

If that annual rate held throughout the entire administration, ICE processed about 797,834 individuals. Under that estimate, 56 deaths translates into a rate of 0.007% — roughly one death for every 14,314 detainees. By comparison, the rate last year under Trump was slightly lower: 0.0054%, or one death for every 18,594 detainees.

ICE under Trump made no erroneous deportations through November. By contrast, ICE under Obama deported two US citizens in fiscal year 2015, and two more in fiscal year 2016.

The democrats demonization tactics are making federal agents’ jobs considerably more dangerous. Assaults on federal immigration officers increased by 1,347% in 2025, as agents experienced a
terrifying 8,000% surge in death threats. Car attacks on ICE agents spiked by 3,200%. Democrats want ICE agents to die. Democrats like Shapiro are a menace to society and our Constitution. (2)
