Earlier today, shots were fired at an ICE facility in Dallas, TX. One person was killed and several more were wounded, according to FBI Director Kash Patel. The shooter has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29. Jahn reportedly killed himself after opening fire on the ICE facility.
As TX Senator Ted Cruz pointed out, this is the third shooting at an ICE or CBP facility in his state. Cruz also called out Democrats and their rhetoric, telling his colleagues on the other side of the aisle to stop calling Republicans and ICE agents Nazis.
It's the Democratic Party rhetoric that has led to a massive increase in violence towards ICE.
Democrats' vile rhetoric towards ICE agents have led to an unprecedented number of assaults on our officers.

In the last three months, we've seen a 500% increase in attacks on ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers.
"Gestapo" seems to be the go-to term for Democrats.

Democrat Illinois Rep. Chuy Garcia:

“We’re seeing aggressive Gestapo-type tactics … I warned the American people that this is looking like the American Gestapo in the making.”pic.twitter.com/IYVhBdJ04h
This is, of course, not the "American Gestapo" by any stretch of the imagination. This is ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies following the law.
Rep. Chuy Garcia's job is to make laws, and he's free to propose legislation to repeal any federal immigration laws he finds objectionable.
Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom called ICE agents the “secret police” while invoking North Korea and the Soviet Union.pic.twitter.com/tDzXPpipIo
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 24, 2025
Newsom also believes he can usurp federal authority by ordering federal law enforcement to unmask while in the state of California. It's adorable that he thinks that, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has stated that they will defy his unconstitutional law.
It's also amazing how the socialists in the Democratic Party demonize their socialist influences when they believe it's politically advantageous.
Democrat California Rep. Jimmy Gomez said ICE agents are arresting "anyone who is brown, that looks like me."pic.twitter.com/G5YFAicI5n

Not all illegal immigrants are "brown" like Rep. Gomez. There are Chinese, Haitian, African, and others who are also in the country illegally.
Democrat Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez: "ICE is a terrorist organization. It needs to be defunded. It needs to be abolished."pic.twitter.com/vqund4ThrL
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 24, 2025
Using language like "terrorist organization" is the height of inflammatory rhetoric. Rep. Ramirez is undoubtedly aware we've been waging a "war on terror" for the better part of the last quarter-century. By calling ICE a "terrorist organization" she is calling for violence against ICE agents and anyone associated with them.
Democrat Massachusetts Rep. Seth Moulton: ICE is “the modern-day Gestapo.”pic.twitter.com/luiM9cnvLj

Gestapo. There's that word again. Someone needs to buy the Democrats a thesaurus for Christmas.
Democrat Illinois Governor JB Pritzker said America is "essentially" becoming "Nazi Germany" because of the work of ICE. https://t.co/e4DGMgSxDW
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 24, 2025
Earlier today, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) was speaking precisely to guys like Pritzker when he said, "Your political opponents are not Nazis."
There is one thing that's like Nazi Germany, and that's...Nazi Germany. It's an insult to the victims of Hitler and the Nazi regime to be so flippant about calling anything Republican "Nazi" or to equate America with "Nazi Germany." It's especially galling when Pritzker's voting base is comprised of radical Leftists who hate Israel and Jews and call for a global intifada. If anything is remotely close to Nazi Germany, it's that.
Democrat California Rep. David Min smeared ICE Agents for doing their jobs, claiming it's "illegal" and "unconstitutional."pic.twitter.com/mQoTdRVCuW
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 24, 2025
Much like Rep. Garcia, Rep. Min is welcome to propose legislation to change our immigration laws. In the meantime, enforcing the laws as they currently stand is the duty and obligation of the Trump administration. Like their fellow Democrats, Reps. Garcia and Min would prefer not to have to do their jobs.
They know that Republicans enjoy a significant advantage with voters, including independents, on the issue of immigration. CNN's Harry Enten reported just yesterday that Republicans were polling with a 13-point advantage on immigration.
That's why Democrats don't put forth legislation to change immigration laws or abolish ICE -- it's electoral suicide. Instead, they prefer to simply not enforce our laws and attack Republicans and the brave men and women in law enforcement.
Democrat Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said ICE agents are "terrorizing our communities."pic.twitter.com/dPyZo9r6j0
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 24, 2025
Mayor Johnson also believes that putting criminals in prison is "unholy" and that law enforcement is a "sickness" that doesn't protect communities. We should probably not listen to anything he says.
Democrat Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost compared ICE agents deporting criminal illegal aliens to "human trafficking."pic.twitter.com/iHkQWoC7qM
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 24, 2025
This is exactly the opposite. Illegal immigration is a massive source of human trafficking. In fiscal year (FY) 2023, DHS reported assisting 731 victims of human trafficking. Those are the ones we know about. DHS also reports that every year, millions of instances of human trafficking occur worldwide.
Democrat Connecticut Rep. John Larson screamed that ICE agents are "the SS and the Gestapo."pic.twitter.com/JPNfr6FATM

Screaming "Gestapo" makes it more true, apparently.
Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett: “When I see ICE, I see slave patrols."pic.twitter.com/CmLdInz26p
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 24, 2025
Crockett's comments came less than two weeks before 29-year-old Joshua Jahn opened fire on that Dallas ICE facility.
Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries vowed to dox every ICE agent “no matter what it takes.”pic.twitter.com/9FvNIZsQq5
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 24, 2025
The Democratic Party has no intention of toning down its rhetoric. They have no plan to stem the growing plague of Left-wing violence. Every day, they encourage their supporters to harass, threaten, and harm not just ICE agents but Americans who simply voted for Donald Trump.
Doxxing ICE agents also means doxxing their families. Does the Democratic Party want to go into the midterms as the party that believes your family is also fair game if you do a job they don't like? Are the families of Trump voters also fair game?
It seems that's what the Democrats are saying.
If so, good luck in 2026 and enjoy eight years of President Vance.
