Pam Bondi Slams House Dems for ‘Trying to Put ICE Agents at Risk’ by Adding New Tool to Their Website

Attorney General Pam bondi strongly criticized House Democrats after California Rep. Robert Garcia announced plans to create a “tracker” website to monitor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in real time. Bondi accused Democrats of endangering ICE agents by doing so, especially amid ongoing tensions around law enforcement funding and enforcement actions. She emphasized that the Justice Department has zero tolerance for violence against law enforcement and will prosecute any assaults on agents.

Garcia, a liberal Democrat with a history of inflammatory remarks, is a member of the House Oversight Committee. He, alongside Senator Richard Blumenthal, is involved in efforts to investigate ICE and provide public access to information about its activities through this proposed tracker. however, critics, including Bondi, suggest this could put agents at risk, referencing past incidents where ICE locations were targeted, including a recent shooting incident motivated by similar information.

Bondi highlighted that previous efforts to track ICE agents, such as apps and websites that revealed their locations, have been shut down following justice Department requests to companies like Apple and Meta. Nonetheless, some democratic lawmakers persist with similar initiatives, which Bondi sees as undermining law enforcement.

Garcia responded by pointing to reports of ICE detaining American citizens during immigration crackdowns and accused Bondi of covering for pedophiles by referencing the Epstein case, escalating the political tensions. The debate has sparked strong reactions on social media, with many rallying in support of Bondi’s stance against the tracker and against perceived Democratic obstruction of law enforcement.


Attorney General Pam Bondi wasn’t holding back.

After an announcement on Monday by California Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia that House Democrats are planning a “tracker” to monitor Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in real time, the attorney general went ballistic.

In a social media post, she accused Democrats of putting “ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs.”

“Shutdown Democrats are already refusing to pay our law enforcement agents,” Bondi wrote. “Now, @RepRobertGarcia and @SenBlumenthal are trying to put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs.

“@TheJusticeDept has ZERO tolerance for violence against law enforcement — we will prosecute any person who physically assaults our agents.”

In the post, Bondi included video of Garcia making the announcement at a news conference with Los Angles Mayor Karen Bass.

A liberal with a history of inflammatory language, Garcia is a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

In the Senate, Connecticut’s Richard Blumenthal is investigating ICE with the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, according to the Washington Examiner.

“The Oversight Committee, I d this with the mayor — over the course of the next couple of weeks, the Oversight Committee will be launching on their website a master ICE tracker … tracking every single instance that we can verify that the community will send to us, send us information on,” Garcia said.

“It’ll all be available in one central place.”

Garcia did not describe the purpose of such information, but if recent history is any guide, it’s effect, at least is not likely to be innocent.

For instance, in a Sept. 25 article, Fox News reported that FBI Director Kash Patel had said the gunman who fired on an ICE facility in Dallas “searched apps that tracked the presence” of ICE agents.

As the Washington Examiner reported, Bondi’s Justice Department previously asked Apple and Meta (the parent company of Facebook) to take down an app and a page that performed a similar function.

Apple complied, as did Meta, according to the Washington Examiner.

However, Democratic lawmakers in Congress apparently don’t feel the same obligation to cooperate with law enforcement agencies — agencies that are enforcing laws that have been passed by Congress.

Bondi’s blast drew plenty of support on social media (though there are always critics sliding in).

For his part, Garcia responded to Bondi’s post by citing a report from the liberal Pro Publica news outlet that claimed that ICE agents had detained about 170 American citizens during President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

And he tried to draw attention to the case of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.


“Hey @AGPamBondi, ICE detaining over 170 U.S. citizens is not them ‘just doing their jobs,’” he wrote.

“But since you have the time to at me — when are you going to stop covering for pedophiles and release the Epstein files?”
