The Trump White House delivered a scathing rebuke to Democrats and their media allies Thursday after their relentless attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents sparked violent protests across the nation.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt didn't mince words when confronted with the escalating unrest, holding up a CNN chyron as evidence of the left's dangerous propaganda campaign against federal law enforcement.
"Shame on you," Leavitt declared, directing her anger at Democrats who have spent years demonizing ICE agents simply for doing their jobs. "The negative portrayal of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents by Democrats is leading to violence in the streets."
The press secretary's comments came after The Daily Wire's Mary Margaret Olohan pressed her on rising anti-ICE violence, prompting Leavitt to showcase a damning CNN headline that read: "Protests Erupt After Federal Agent Shoots..."
Media Fueling Anti-Law Enforcement Hatred
This is exactly what patriots have been warning about for years. The mainstream media and radical Democrats have turned immigration enforcement officers into villains, painting them as jackbooted thugs rather than the heroes they truly are – men and women risking their lives to protect American communities from dangerous criminals.
"When you constantly attack and vilify law enforcement, you create a climate where violence against officers becomes normalized," one former ICE official told supporters.
President Trump's mass deportation operation is already showing results, with criminal aliens finally being removed from American neighborhoods. But instead of celebrating this victory for public safety, Democrats and their media puppets are inciting mobs against the very agents keeping us safe.
How much longer will we tolerate this assault on the brave men and women of ICE? These agents have families too, and they deserve our support – not the hatred being spewed by CNN and their Democratic partners.
