Immigration and Customs and Enforcement officials have claimed since June that assaults on their own officers have climbed sharply, with the White House insisting in a September executive order that attacks are up "more than 1,000 percent."... An analysis of court records shows about a 25% rise in charges for assault against federal officers through mid-September, compared with the same period a year ago.
White House claims "more than 1,000%" rise in assaults on ICE agents. Data says otherwise

Even if the 1000% increase were true, it's still less than they deserve. I'm shocked there hasn't been more resistance.

I'm waiting for the inevitable headline "ice raid meets grisly end. 12 officers gunned down in neighborhood street in front of crowd. No witnesses forthcoming."

IMO the Whitehouse is just putting these ICE people into situations where, sooner or later, someone is going to shoot them in the face and then its going to trigger Marshall Law.

No, it's TJ Max's competitor that will rule over us. The jack-boots will be priced low.

And thats how theyll get us. An incredibly well coordinated retail flanking maneuver.

I wouldn't be surprised that this is what they were hoping for.

CAN ANY JOURNALIST JUST ONCE PLEASE ASK FOR EVIDENCE ON THIS?
Sorry for the yelling but I'm getting slightly.tired of that government just claiming one bullshit lie after another and not even once has any evidence been shown for any of the bullshit

Reporters don't because the last person who asked "source please" is currently fighting a first amendment violation because their press pass was revoked as a result of even having the audacity to question the commander in chief.
It's not worth it to any news organization to put that risk in place because it prevents them from reporting on future items.
This country is a roaring dumpsterfire.

For some reason, they don't release the actual count, but just the percentage.
I wonder why that could be?

The White House has stated that filming ICE is an attack. So yeah, "attacks" are probably up 1000%.

The number of people charged is irrelevant as many of those charged have the charges dismissed.

Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up!

As with anything Trump and friends say: prove it. Show the incidents with body cam footage from those arrests so nothing is taken out of context

Although. If true. You gotta ask yourself. What changed that might have caused this and how can it be eliminated?
