A domestic terrorist attack targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers unfolded in Meridian, Idaho, when an unhinged suspect stole a hospital ambulance, doused it with gasoline, and deliberately rammed it into a federal building housing ICE personnel.
The brazen assault began when the perpetrator stole the ambulance from St. Luke's Hospital and drove it directly to the nearby office building. Police confirm the suspect had poured gasoline or another accelerant throughout the vehicle before the attack - a clear indication this was a premeditated act of terrorism against federal immigration enforcement.
After crashing the fuel-laden ambulance into the ICE facility, the coward fled the scene on foot. A manhunt is currently underway, but the damage was already done - another example of left-wing extremism targeting the men and women who protect our borders.
Years of Democrat Rhetoric Bearing Violent Fruit
This attack didn't happen in a vacuum, Patriots. For years, Democrats and their media allies have painted ICE agents as "storm troopers" and "Nazis," creating a climate where deranged activists believe violence against immigration enforcement is justified.
Remember when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez compared ICE facilities to "concentration camps"? When Biden called border patrol agents "horrible people"? This is the inevitable result of that poisonous rhetoric.
President Trump has been clear that his administration will not tolerate attacks on federal law enforcement. With mass deportations ramping up under the America First agenda, expect more desperate acts from the open-borders crowd who see their sanctuary city gravy train coming to an end.
"We will prosecute anyone who attacks our ICE officers to the fullest extent of the law. These are American heroes doing the job that politicians have refused to do for decades."
The fact that this terrorist chose an ambulance - a vehicle meant to save lives - to carry out an attack meant to harm federal officers tells you everything about the twisted mindset of anti-American extremists.
How many more ICE facilities will be targeted before Democrats finally condemn the violence their rhetoric has inspired?
