If you can imagine this now …
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees are facing a quickly escalating series of threats, including menacing protests against their own children and even shots “being fired at their offices.”
This action comes amid a “rising tide of anti-ICE rhetoric from the Left fueled by congressional Democrats, media voices and presidential hopefuls,” as Fox News reported on Wednesday.
Video published on Tuesday by Breitbart News shows protesters “in Florida from groups such as Never Again Action and Black Lives Matter Alliance of Broward County threatening workers and former employees of the GEO Group, a private contractor used by ICE,” the outlet also noted.
One protester even hurled personal threats against the family of GEO Group’s former general counsel, John Bulfin.
“We know where all your children live throughout the country … John Bulfin … You have kids in [bleeped out], you have kids in [bleeped out],” the protester yelled.
“We know everything about you and you won’t just be seeing us here.”
The footage, Breitbart pointed out, was taken just a day before shots were fired — early on Tuesday — at an ICE office and GEO Group office in San Antonio, Texas, in what the FBI has called a “targeted attack.”

This is obviously horrendous and unacceptable.
On Wednesday morning, acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan of the Department of Homeland Security said on “Fox & Friends” that people need to tone down the “dangerous” rhetoric that demonizes the hardworking ICE officials and employees who are trying to keep this country safe.

These are Terroristic Threats against Government Employees, and as such, fall under the Patriot Act. Arrest them all and ship them to GITMO for Military Tribunals!!!!
How is it that Kathy Griffin can show a severed head of President Trump and nothing is done, but one guy (republican) tells a woman she should be shot, and he gets arrested? Just how far does this deep state run?
But the problem is white supremacists not black mass shooters or antifa anarchists.
The President needs to declare Marshal Law. Send in the Military to protect the ICE Agents. These incidents are becoming out of control. All out war being conducted on our Law Enforcement.
These so called protesters are becoming a problem! This is domestic terrorism! They should be arrested. We can't have this kind of chaos against our law enforcement. What kind of people are these? They're crazed animals! These people aren't "protesting" they're threatening people's lives so when will something be done about this?
Wow, these people should be immediately arrested, charged with a hate crime and special circumstances threatening law enforcement
Anyone aiding or abetting them should likewise be arrested even if In congress
This is beyond dispicable
