DHS said that ICE officers are currently facing a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks. The agency said that from January 21, 2025, to January 7, 2026, ICE officers experienced 66 "vehicular attacks," compared to only two during the same time period the previous year.
Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that one of the ICE officers involved in the arrest was injured and said, "We are praying for him, his health, and his family."
She placed the blame squarely on pro-sanctuary politicians, who she said, "Have encouraged illegal aliens to evade arrest."
"They have created an environment that incites violence against our law enforcement," said McLaughlin, adding that agents are also facing a "more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them."

"Every day, this is what the men and women of ICE are facing," he said. "It's constant impediments, constant attacks like this. And it's not safe for my folks, it's not safe for the public. It really needs to stop."
