The Trump administration is cracking down on escalating left-wing violence targeting federal law enforcement, vowing to hold offenders fully accountable after a Texas police officer was shot near an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility Friday night.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a firm warning Saturday, writing on X:

“We are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the USAOs and our law enforcement partners. The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible.”

The violence erupted shortly after President Trump signed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” into law—his sweeping immigration and tax reform bill—which includes record funding for border enforcement and ICE.

According to reports, masked agitators descended on the ICE facility in Prairieland, Texas—just outside Dallas—late Friday night. Armed with weapons and dressed in black, they vandalized vehicles, damaged security cameras, and clashed with responding law enforcement officers.

When police attempted to question a suspicious individual near the facility, they were met with gunfire. One officer with the Alvarado Police Department was shot in the neck and had to be airlifted to a hospital in Fort Worth. Federal sources told CBS News that eight people were arrested in the incident, which is being investigated as a targeted assault.

In Portland, Oregon, left-wing demonstrators again clashed with federal agents at another ICE location, continuing a pattern of violent disruptions that dates back to Trump’s first term.

The White House is treating the events as part of a broader campaign of intimidation by radical activists—just one year after the assassination attempt on President Trump that shocked the nation.

“Let’s be clear,” one senior DHS official told Fox News under condition of anonymity. “This isn’t protest. This is terrorism against law enforcement—pure and simple. And we’re going to treat it as such.”

Critics have long warned that the inflammatory rhetoric coming from far-left activists—and in some cases, Democrat politicians—has normalized the idea that violence against federal agents and conservatives is justified.

Social media posts on platforms like TikTok and X have included veiled—and in some cases, explicit—calls for violence against Trump and his supporters. While these users often claim to be joking or “venting,” law enforcement officials aren’t laughing.

Conservatives have argued that this environment is a direct result of years of permissiveness during the Biden administration, which turned a blind eye to Antifa violence, attacks on police precincts, and the 2020 summer riots that caused billions in damages.

“We tried letting them scream. We tried letting them protest,” said one former FBI agent. “Now they’re shooting cops outside ICE facilities. That ends now.”

Lawmakers are now calling for federal charges and swift sentencing, with many praising Trump’s DOJ for re-establishing law and order after years of chaos.

The message from the administration is clear: No more appeasement. No more double standards. If you assault law enforcement, you will face the full force of the U.S. government.
