On CNN’s "State of the Union," Tom Homan, who previously served as a border czar for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), stated that threats against ICE officers have surged by 1200%. Homan indicated that these officers are facing doxxing on social media, receiving daily death threats, and experiencing physical attacks, including being shot at. He emphasized that ICE officers are tasked with apprehending serious offenders and are therefore taking measures to protect themselves. Homan expressed confidence in the training and judgment of ICE and Border Patrol personnel, asserting that any officer who acts outside of established policies should be held accountable. He noted a troubling trend where law enforcement personnel are perceived as aggressors while those violating laws are seen as victims, highlighting a complex dynamic in public perception of law enforcement actions.
