The dangerous, un-American advocates for illegal aliens are now reportedly working to attack the families of ICE agents and putting the officers’ children in danger.
Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons is warning that left-wing activists have turned their attention to outing ICE agents and then tracking down their families to target them for harassment and possible assassination.
“Wouldn’t you wear a mask if it kept your family safe, if it kept your kids safe? We ran an operation with the Secret Service,” Lyons said in a video posted to X on Monday. “We arrested someone who was going online, taking [ICE agents’] photos, posting their families, their kids’ Instagrams, their kids’ Facebooks, and targeting them. So let me ask, is that the issue here that anyone is upset with masks, or is anyone upset that an ICE officer’s families were labeled terrorists?”
Encouraging gangs and others to rise against – or kill – ICE officers is a crime, and you will be prosecuted.

Lyons pointed to comments from Cudahy, California, Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez, who seemed to suggest that the 18th Street Gang should start targeting ICE agents.
“You guys tag everything up, claiming hood, and now that your hood is being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain’t a peep out of you,” Gonzalez says in the video. “It’s everyone else that’s not about the gang life and out there protesting and speaking up.”
He also showed a TikTok video of a user calling for the deaths of ICE agents.
“You can kill them. This isn’t about social media clout anymore … this is about get a gun and start killing ICE agents,” the TikToker says.
“My office and agents are enforcing immigration law. They are not secret police, they are not Nazis,” Lyons insisted. “But people hiding behind keyboards are demonizing them, they’re doxxing them, stirring up anti-ICE sentiment and putting their lives their families’ lives at risk.”
