Shooter Attacked Border Agents Hours After Dems Call For ‘Blood’
The article discusses recent comments made by Democrat leaders expressing discontent among their constituents regarding the party’s response to issues surrounding illegal immigration and President Trump’s policies. They indicated that their base is feeling frustrated and urging for more aggressive actions, even suggesting that some want to see “blood” to capture public and media attention.
on the same day as these comments, a shooter attacked Border Patrol agents in McAllen, Texas, resulting in injuries to a police officer and the death of the shooter. The incident highlights rising tensions and violence surrounding immigration enforcement. According to various anonymous House Democrats, there is a growing sentiment within their ranks that involves a willingness to confront police and ICE, reflecting escalating frustrations over perceived inaction.
The article also cites increasing violence against ICE and other federal officers, with the Department of Justice announcing a firm stance against attacks on law enforcement. Voices from both sides of the political spectrum, including those critical of ICE, are emphasizing the dangerous rhetoric and potential repercussions of such political pressures. The piece underscores a climate of intense political division and calls for action that some officials interpret as tolerance for violence.
In a Monday article published by Axios, Democrat leaders told the outlet their supporters want more from them, including blood, to fight against Trump’s illegal immigration efforts. That same day, a man with a rifle and tactical gear shot at Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement in McAllen, Texas, resulting in a police officer being injured and the shooter being killed, according to Fox News.
“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” one anonymous House Democrat told Axios. The congressman said that “grassroots” supporters are telling lawmakers that when they enter ICE facilities, they need to be “willing to get shot.”
Axios reported that more than two dozen Democrat representatives who spoke to publication are seeing more anger from constituents over the Democrats “not doing enough to counter President Trump’s agenda.” It has even “morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law,” according to Axios.
“What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and … a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people,” another anonymous House Democrat told Axios.
In recent months, multiple Democrat politicians have come under fire for their behavior undermining the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani he screamed as he tried to rush at border czar Tom Homan, forcing security to hold him back. Senator Alex Pedilla yelled, approached the podium, and resisted security’s effort to remove him during a Department of Homeland Security press conference. California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass blamed Trump for the chaos and violence in L.A.
“The rhetoric against the men and women of ICE is skyrocketing, especially by members of Congress,” border czar Tom Homan said on Monday as he responded to law enforcement officers in Texas being shot at by a “typical protestors who go from protestor to criminal.”
“We have senators, we have Congress people that compare ICE to the Nazis, compare ICE to racists, and it just continues,” Homan stated.
Homan said that attacks on ICE had been up 500 percent just a few weeks ago, but are now up 700 percent.
“The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said on X on Friday.
