Whereas the Biden administration failed to identify and prosecute individuals illegally entering our country through the southern border; Whereas U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) work disrupts foreign criminal and drug networks, making all United States citizens safer; Whereas some State and local law enforcement agencies have stopped sharing data with Federal law enforcement officers, preventing swift identification of dangerous criminals; Whereas ICE agents have received an 8,000 percent increase in death threats against them and their families, even as they arrest murderers, assailants, and drug traffickers; Whereas agitators, including elected politicians, are encouraging violence against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel, leading to a significant increase in assaults against them; Whereas law enforcement officers protecting United States citizens from violent criminals should not be the subject of physical violence; and Whereas ICE officers have taken on additional roles during the DHS shutdown, assisting Transportation Security Administration employees in checking identification and providing additional security: Now, therefore, be it That the House of Representatives— (1) reaffirms its support for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and staff performing their duties while facing threats and harassment; (2) calls on State and local law enforcement officers to stand with their Federal partners in investigating threats made against all Federal law enforcement officers; (3) condemns all forms of political violence, especially against officers carrying out their sworn duty to protect United States citizens from violent criminals; and (4) thanks ICE agents for their expanded role at airports amid the partial government shutdown.
