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.<\/p>\n<p>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.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body body-md bdr-top-black pt-30\">\n<div class=\"row justify-content-center\">\n<div class=\"col-12\">\n<figure class=\"article-thumbnail mb-30 mb-sm-60\">\n<div class=\"article-thumbnail-caption d-flex align-items-center justify-content-md-end label-xs mt-15\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-camera me-10\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Image Credit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/selective-focus-of-barricade-tapes-10476378\/\">cottonbro studior \/ Pexels<\/a>       <\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-share text-center article-share-simple\">\n<h5 class=\"label-sm mb-10\">Share<\/h5>\n<ul class=\"article-share-list list-unstyled m-0 p-0\">\n<li class=\"article-share-facebook m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/07\/shooter-attacked-border-agents-hours-after-dems-said-their-voters-want-blood\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Facebook<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-twitter m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Shooter%20Attacked%20Border%20Agents%20Hours%20After%20Dems%20Said%20Their%20Voters%20Want%20%E2%80%98Blood%E2%80%99&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/07\/shooter-attacked-border-agents-hours-after-dems-said-their-voters-want-blood\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Twitter<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-truth-social m-0\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/share?title=Shooter%20Attacked%20Border%20Agents%20Hours%20After%20Dems%20Said%20Their%20Voters%20Want%20%E2%80%98Blood%E2%80%99&amp;url=https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/07\/shooter-attacked-border-agents-hours-after-dems-said-their-voters-want-blood\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"currentColor\" style=\"width:36px;height:auto;\" viewbox=\"0 0 92 93\"><path d=\"M69.444 55.716H56.772v10.37h12.672zM64.487 37.795V27.32H38.666v38.664h13.18v-28.19zM21.05 27.321h12.653v10.471H21.051z\" https:><\/path><\/svg>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article on Truth Social<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-link m-0\">       <button data-clipboard-text=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/07\/shooter-attacked-border-agents-hours-after-dems-said-their-voters-want-blood\/\" data-tooltip-content=\"Copied!\" class=\"clip tooltip\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-link-variant\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Copy Article Link<\/span>       <\/button>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\">       <a href=\"mailto:?subject=Shooter%20Attacked%20Border%20Agents%20Hours%20After%20Dems%20Said%20Their%20Voters%20Want%20%E2%80%98Blood%E2%80%99&amp;body=%20https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/07\/07\/shooter-attacked-border-agents-hours-after-dems-said-their-voters-want-blood\/\" target=\"_blank\">         <i class=\"mdi mdi-email\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>         <span class=\"visually-hidden\">Share Article via Email<\/span>       <\/a>     <\/li>\n<li class=\"article-share-email m-0\"><span class=\"printfriendly pf-button  pf-alignleft\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><span id=\"printfriendly-text2\" class=\"pf-button-text\"><i class=\"mdi mdi-printer\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<p>In a Monday article published by Axios, Democrat leaders told the outlet their&nbsp;supporters want more from them, including blood, to fight against Trump&rsquo;s illegal immigration efforts.
