RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that violent
attacks against United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
facilities and officers are unacceptable, must be fully condemned, and
that Congress stands in support of ICE's mission to protect national
security, public safety, and the enforcement of immigration laws.
Whereas, since President Trump took office, there has been a rise in hostile
rhetoric and violence directed against ICE facilities and officers;
Whereas, on September 24, 2025, a shooter opened fire from a rooftop at an ICE
field office in Dallas, Texas, striking detainees in transit, killing
one and critically injuring two before taking his own life;
Whereas investigators during the September 24, 2025, shooting found the words
``ANTI-ICE'' written on shell casings discovered at the scene and a note
saying ``give ICE agents real terror'', according to the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI);
Whereas, on September 19, 2025, violent rioters stormed the ICE processing
center in Broadview, Illinois, assaulting officers, vandalizing
vehicles, hurling tear gas canisters, blocking entrances, and
trespassing on restricted property;
Whereas, on September 1, 2025, radical demonstrators in Portland, Oregon, staged
violent riots outside an ICE facility, brandishing a guillotine and
threatening Federal officers;
Whereas, on August 25, 2025, an individual entered the reporting entrance of a
Dallas, Texas ICE field office and claimed to be carrying a bomb in his
backpack;
Whereas, on August 2, 2025, a rock was thrown and broke a window at an ICE
facility in Yakima, Washington;
Whereas, on July 8, 2025, a gunman opened fire at the entrance of a Border
Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, wounding 3 officers;
Whereas, on July 4, 2025, armed assailants wearing tactical gear carried out an
attack on the ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas, during which a
local law enforcement officer was shot;
Whereas, on June 7, 2025, more than 1,000 rioters besieged a Federal law
enforcement facility in Los Angeles, California, assaulting ICE
officers, slashing vehicle tires, and defacing Federal property;
Whereas these acts reflect an escalation of attacks against ICE and Federal
immigration enforcement operations, including a 1,000 percent increase
in assaults on ICE officers;
Whereas ICE officers and supporting staff carry out vital functions in the
protection of national security, public safety, and the enforcement of
United States immigration laws;
Whereas ICE's work frequently involves high-risk operations that protect
communities from criminal organizations and disrupt transnational
criminal networks;
Whereas ICE is working to locate and protect unaccompanied alien children, with
more than 465,000 having entered the border during the Biden
Administration;
Whereas, under President Trump, ICE has located at least 22,638 unaccompanied
alien children, with more than 400 sponsors arrested, and 27 minors
tragically found dead as a result of murder, suicide, or drug overdose;
Whereas, since the Trump Administration took office, roughly 70 percent of ICE
arrests have been of individuals unlawfully present in the United States
who were convicted of or charged with criminal offenses;
Whereas violent, ideologically motivated attacks on ICE not only endanger life,
but undermine public trust in the rule of law and impair the capacity of
ICE to carry out lawful missions; and
Whereas Members of Congress and public officials have a duty to condemn all such
violence, ensure accountability for perpetrators, and enact measures to
protect ICE agents, personnel, and facilities: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) unequivocally condemns the recent escalation of violent
attacks and threats against ICE facilities, personnel, and
detainees under ICE custody and expresses profound sorrow for
the lives lost and the injuries sustained;
(2) reaffirms its full support for ICE agents, officers,
and staff performing their law enforcement duties under the
Department of Homeland Security, and acknowledges the
difficult, dangerous, and essential tasks they carry out daily
in service of public safety;
(3) calls on the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, the
Department of Justice, the Department of State, and Federal,
State, and local law enforcement partners to investigate
attacks, strengthen coordination to prevent violence, improve
training and equipment, and counter digital threats such as
tracking technologies and doxxing platforms used against
personnel, facilities, and detainees; and
(4) encourages all public officials and media entities to
reject rhetoric that incites hostility toward ICE or law
enforcement personnel, and instead to speak responsibly about
those charged with enforcing the laws of the United States.
