Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told viewers on Fox’s My View what every patriot already suspects: Democrats are putting political theater ahead of public safety, and that reckless rhetoric has real-world consequences for the men and women protecting our border. Lyons laid out how doxxing and threats have become an everyday hazard for immigration agents, who face not only political hostility but targeted campaigns to expose them and their families. This is not a debate about ideology — it’s about whether we back the thin blue line that keeps communities secure.
Lyons defended sensible precautions like agents wearing masks, saying the agency has seen a surge of doxxing and death threats that make anonymity a matter of survival for officers and their loved ones. Critics who demand agents be exposed fail to grasp that revealing identities invites harassment, stalking, and violence against public servants doing a tough job few other Americans will do. If Democrats truly cared about people, they would stop incentivizing harassment and help protect those who keep us safe.
The ICE chief didn’t just offer warnings — he produced numbers that should alarm every citizen: assaults and attacks on ICE personnel have skyrocketed, a reflection of the fevered, organized hostility directed at enforcement. Lyons has publicly noted dramatic upticks in violence against agents, evidence that inflammatory labels and calls to “out” officers fuel real-world attacks rather than constructive oversight. When political leaders trade in outrage and dehumanizing slurs, they are writing checks someone else may have to cash with their safety.
Democratic mayors and House leaders who demand agents remove masks or publish their names are playing with fire, insisting on transparency only when it serves a political stunt and not when it puts lives at risk. Boston’s mayor and other sanctuary proponents trumpet fear to score headlines while turning a blind eye to the safety of neighborhoods and the officers who enforce the law. The results are predictable: emboldened mobs, targeted harassment, and an erosion of basic law-and-order that leaves hardworking Americans paying the price.
Republican lawmakers are responding the only way responsible leaders can — by moving to criminalize the doxxing of law enforcement and demanding accountability from local officials who intentionally undermine federal operations. Bills introduced by conservatives aim to put teeth behind protecting officers and their families from being weaponized by activists and hostile politicians. If we cannot ensure basic protections for agents, we cannot expect them to carry out their duty without fear, and the rule of law suffers.
Lyons has also made clear that ICE will enforce the law broadly, including detaining people found in the country unlawfully, because sanctuary policies have left federal agents no choice but to do their jobs in the community. This is about equal application of the law, not partisan persecution; when local governments shield illegal actors, the federal government must fill the gap to defend citizens and lawful workers. Americans deserve an immigration system that prioritizes public safety, not one that protects criminality because it scores political points.
The bottom line is simple: patriotic voters must stand with law enforcement and push back against a culture that glamorizes doxxing and applauds the endangerment of officers. Hold Democrats accountable for political calculations that put families, agents, and neighborhoods at risk, and demand leaders who will defend the rule of law rather than cheer on its destruction. Our communities, our borders, and our future depend on politicians choosing security over spectacle.
