“Our courageous men and women face death threats, just like this, every day. Individuals making the threats will be held accountable.”
A left-wing agitator vandalized a federal building in Los Angeles on Saturday, spray-painting the words “kill your local ICE agent” during the “No Kings” protest.
Thousands of individuals marched throughout downtown Los Angeles in opposition to the Trump administration, with many specifically protesting immigration enforcement policies. Video shared by Fox News showed a masked individual using red spray paint to write the message on the wall, along with two bullseye symbols.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement shared the video on X, writing in response, “If you threaten ICE, or their families, you WILL face the full force of federal law.”
“Our courageous men and women face death threats, just like this, every day. Individuals making the threats will be held accountable,” the agency added.

The Department of Homeland Security revealed earlier this year that ICE agents continue to face a sharp rise in threats and violence against federal immigration officers. According to DHS data, ICE agents experienced a more than 1,300 percent increase in reported assaults between January 20 and December 31, 2025, with 275 incidents compared to 19 during the same period in 2024. The agency also reported an 8,000 percent increase in death threats.
“This unprecedented increase in violence against law enforcement is a direct result of sanctuary politicians and the media creating an environment that demonizes our law enforcement and encourages rampant assaults against them. Dangerous criminals – whether they be illegal aliens or U.S. citizens – are assaulting law enforcement and turning their vehicles into weapons to attack law enforcement,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin in a statement announcing these statistics. “Still, the brave men and women of DHS will not be deterred and will continue arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. Anyone who attacks law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Police said dozens of arrests were made over the weekend in Los Angeles as authorities moved to disperse crowds following the rally. Officers deployed tear gas near a federal detention center after some protesters did not comply with dispersal orders. On Sunday, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that 74 people were arrested, with one additional individual taken into custody on suspicion of possessing a weapon.
