The post lays out how the White House compiled 57 instances where prominent Democrats allegedly encouraged hostility toward federal law enforcement, highlights recent cellphone video that challenges the left’s narrative about an ICE shooting, and reproduces several of the cited comments and reactions, including explicit quotations and embedded source tokens.
We’ve watched how Democrats reacted to the fatal shooting involving ICE and Renee Good, who reportedly interfered with a federal operation and used a vehicle as a weapon. New video has emerged that raises serious questions about claims the agent acted without justification or training, and that footage undercuts much of the initial left-wing outrage.
The rhetoric from many on the left has been alarmingly extreme and often dehumanizing toward officers doing lawful work. The White House released a list documenting what it called “vicious, inflammatory” remarks from progressive leaders, highlighting a tone that, in their view, borders on incitement.
The White House statement included this passage verbatim: “On National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, the Trump Administration proudly honors the brave patriots of ICE and all law enforcement who put their lives on the line to protect America. In stark contrast, unhinged Radical Left Democrats have escalated their torrent of vicious, inflammatory attacks on these very heroes — branding them as Nazis, terrorists, and Gestapo thugs while inciting their delusional supporters to unleash violence.”
Below are selected examples the White House listed, reproduced here as they appeared in the release and arranged to show the level of language used by certain officials. These entries include the embedded tokens where they originally appeared.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz ICE officers as a “threat” to the public, ICE “reckless,” suggested the state is at “” with federal officers and “under attack” by ICE, and ICE as the “modern-day Gestapo.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom likened ICE to “secret police,” them “authoritarian” and calling for people to “push back.”
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker ICE is turning the country into “Nazi Germany.”
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul ICE is “terrorizing people.”
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro ICE officers “make our neighborhoods less safe.”
The White House argued these kinds of characterizations strip away nuance and risk painting law enforcement as enemies rather than public servants. When officials use charged terms like Gestapo or Nazi in reference to federal officers, it fuels anger and can translate into real-world threats against agents on the ground.
Additional entries the White House cited show similar escalations from congressional leaders and local officials, with multiple instances of public statements urging resistance or portraying ICE as a source of fear. Those quotes were preserved in the release and are reproduced here with the original language intact where provided.
Sen. Jeff Merkley ICE operations to “fascism” and officers are “doing nothing” but “terrorizing our communities.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders people to “stop ICE from what they are doing as soon as possible.”
[Profanity alert] Rep. Eric Swalwell [a candidate in the upcoming California gubernatorial race] ICE officers “masked thugs,” them “terrorizing bandits,” it was his “priority” to ensure officers “are no longer faceless,” them to the KGB, and they “stay the fuck out of California.”
The list also quoted Minneapolis leadership, which in one instance told ICE to “get the f*** out of Minneapolis” and generated controversy for the profanity and confrontational tone. That remark was included among the items the White House flagged as part of a broader pattern.

The administration’s release framed these statements as part of a trend that distracts from facts and undermines lawful enforcement carried out under congressional authority. The White House contrasted its appreciation for law enforcement with what it called escalating attacks and calls for resistance from prominent progressives.
Critics of the release argue it politicizes tragic incidents and oversimplifies the context around protests and community concerns. Supporters counter that naming and cataloging inflammatory rhetoric is a necessary step to demonstrate the seriousness of public messaging and its potential consequences.

Whatever one’s view on the underlying events, the release underscores a real tension: elected officials’ words matter, and rhetoric that frames agents as enemies places frontline officers at greater risk. The debate about responsibility for that rhetoric is now another chapter in the larger national argument over law, order, and how we conduct immigration enforcement.
The White House’s compilation aims to show a pattern it believes threatens public safety and the rule of law, while opponents say the examples reflect legitimate political critique. Those differing perspectives will continue to shape the conversation as more evidence about the incident and related responses becomes public.
It’s time to arrest and or remove these politicians that keep inciting violence against anyone including federal agents and police officers. They belong in jail and should be charged as criminals starting crowd violence these fraud protesters just need one asshole to start a major violence situation. These democrats think they can get away with anything they say it’s time to show them no one is above the law even democrat politicians.
Sue you spot-on correct, and they are like the proverbial petulant spoiled rotten child who has been enabled to the point where he or she becomes a sociopath! I do see many Democrat officials and politicians who have that demeanor or type of personality!
Time to start rounding up such individuals and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law and give them the consequences they deserve! Think of how that witch Pelosi stood up in the Senate and with arrogance and even glee ripped up the “House” copy of President Trump’s State of the Union Address Speech which historically is supposed to be archived! When I saw her do that on Television I immediately thought what kind of a sick twisted maniac behaves like that in the Senate just to prove to the world how self-righteous and defiant they are which is obviously over-the-top behavior and not that of any respectable “Senate Member” during a major official event involving not just the President of the United States of America but the entire Congress and the American People that this body Represents and governs for! It was so beyond sophomoric and bizarre that I thought at that moment she MUST be a very “EVIL” person! Since then she proved that’s true time and again; but also as well how totally disrespectful and heartlessly cruel she is! She is a sociopath at least and perhaps a psychopath, nobody can convince me otherwise!
