There are moments in our national life when rhetoric stops being mere words and starts to become a weapon, and that is exactly what former Border czar Tom Homan warned about on Fox this week — a chilling, candid reminder that anti-ICE vitriol can and has produced violence. Homan said he told Democrats months ago that inflammatory language would lead to bloodshed, and he is now watching his prediction grimly come true as mobs and agitators descend on federal officers.
On The Faulkner Focus Homan didn’t mince words about the street theater masquerading as protest; he called the agitators’ efforts hollow and pointed to the hard numbers behind enforcement, saying deportation and arrest figures belie the activists’ claims of victory. Conservatives should be thankful someone is speaking plainly about the cost of lawlessness — both in human lives and in the erosion of the rule of law.
The ugly flashpoint that set off nationwide demonstrations was the fatal Minneapolis shooting of Renee Good during an ICE operation, an incident that has understandably stirred emotion but was swiftly seized by activist networks as fuel for national agitation. What followed was not just grief but organized pressure campaigns aimed at federal agents, with large crowds confronting officers and scenes of chaos in Minneapolis that spread to other cities.
Homan and Department of Homeland Security officials have also sounded the alarm about a sharp uptick in violent incidents against immigration officers, arguing that the rhetoric from some local leaders and media personalities has emboldened extremists. These are not abstract claims: federal officials cite dramatic increases in assaults and threats against agents, and those trends should shock every decent American who values public safety.
Yet while liberal politicians posture and litigate — Minnesota and its largest cities have even sued the federal government to try to halt the enforcement surge — the reality on the ground is that the administration says it is enforcing the law and protecting communities. Lawsuits and headlines won’t bring back calm; they only politicize tragedy and encourage more confrontations at the expense of honest, hard-working officers doing a dangerous job.
Make no mistake: defending ICE and federal law enforcement is not about cruelty; it’s about protecting citizens, restoring order, and ensuring that those who come here illegally do not trample reponsible communities. The left’s reflex to vilify officers instead of demanding accountability for violent actions by protest mobs is a moral failure and a recipe for chaos that conservatives must oppose loudly and relentlessly.
Americans who believe in law and order should stand squarely with the men and women who put themselves between us and disorder, while demanding transparent investigations and fair application of justice. If our leaders refuse to condemn the targeted harassment of federal agents and instead fan the flames, they will own the consequences — and patriots will remember who chose chaos over safety.
Now is the moment for clear-headed courage, not performative outrage. Support enforcement that protects borders and neighborhoods, call out violence no matter the politics of the perpetrators, and refuse to let radical activists rewrite the rules of civil society to suit their anarchic agenda.
