Trump AG Makes Bold Move
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Attorney General Pam Bondi announced a sweeping federal response late Friday, deploying Department of Justice (DOJ) agents to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities and officers amid a nationwide surge in violence targeting federal immigration authorities.
Bondi vowed that the DOJ would take swift and decisive action to defend ICE agents, federal property, and the integrity of America’s immigration system, especially as anti-ICE groups have grown increasingly aggressive since President Trump’s return to the White House and his historic crackdown on illegal immigration.
“The Department of Justice will not stand by and allow violent groups to target ICE officers or interfere with federal law enforcement,” Bondi said in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Under my orders, DOJ agents will be sent to ICE facilities — and any location where ICE is under threat — to defend federal officers, secure government property, and swiftly arrest anyone involved in federal crimes.”
Violence at ICE Facilities Reaches Dangerous Levels
Bondi’s announcement comes just days after a deadly shooting at an ICE field office in Dallas, Texas, where one detainee was killed and two others were critically wounded. Federal prosecutors described the attack as “the very definition of terrorism.”
This latest act of violence is part of a disturbing trend. Since President Trump launched bold new border security measures, anti-ICE protests and riots have erupted in cities nationwide.
Last week, violent protesters clashed with federal agents at a detention center in Broadview, Illinois, where migrants are processed for deportation. Several officers were injured, and property damage was reported.
“These never-ending attacks are designed to intimidate our agents and weaken our nation’s security,” Bondi said. “Instead, they only strengthen our resolve to enforce the law and protect the American people.”
DOJ Targets Domestic Terrorism Against ICE
In response to the escalating violence, Bondi has ordered Joint Terrorism Task Forces to identify, disrupt, and prosecute extremist groups behind the attacks on ICE facilities.
The DOJ will pursue the toughest possible charges, including:
- Conspiracy offenses
- Civil disorder charges
- Assault of federal officers
- Terrorism-related charges
“These violent criminal mobs are engaged in domestic terrorism,” Bondi warned. “We will not tolerate organized attempts to sabotage America’s immigration system or harm federal agents.”
Crackdown on Illegal Immigration Intensifies
Bondi also directed the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Marshals Service to work alongside Homeland Security to track down, apprehend, and deport illegal immigrants across the country.
This effort is part of President Trump’s America First immigration agenda, which prioritizes law and order, border security, and the removal of dangerous criminals who entered the country illegally.
“The rule of law will prevail,” Bondi stated firmly. “We will protect our ICE officers, defend our borders, and restore safety to our communities.”
Why This Matters to Americans
For millions of Americans, this announcement represents a critical step in securing the nation’s borders and protecting communities from the fallout of unchecked illegal immigration.
Violence against ICE agents not only threatens federal officers but also endangers everyday citizens. Under President Trump, the federal government is sending a clear message: America will no longer turn a blind eye to lawlessness.
Key Takeaways
- DOJ agents will now be stationed at ICE facilities nationwide.
