Surge in violence against ICE during arrests reported
Federal officers are increasingly facing violence from illegal immigrants during arrests. Reports indicate a 300% rise in assaults on law enforcement, with incidents occurring in states like California, New York, and Colorado. Recent cases include a Russian migrant who injured an ICE officer and a Venezuelan gang member who fought multiple officers in Denver. Federal prosecutors have indicted several illegal immigrants for assaulting ICE personnel at a detention center in Texas. The rise in violence coincides with a significant increase in ICE arrests, which are now occurring at a rate 2.5 times higher than last year. Some experts attribute this trend to advocacy groups encouraging defiance against immigration enforcement.
