Homeland Security characterized the protest as an “organized effort to obstruct ICE law enforcement,” accusing protesters of throwing tear gas cans and assaulting officers. The department pointed the finger at Democratic politicians who it said have “villainized and demonized ICE law enforcement.”

“The violent targeting of law enforcement in Illinois by lawless rioters is despicable and Governor JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson must call for it to end,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “The men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to protect the people of Illinois and all Americans.”

Sounds like a statement out of the collapse of the ussr

Yeah. With the racial profiling they're doing, ICE and the Border Patrol have really alienated a huge chunk of the population
