"Bilal made her brash comments on Thursday, one day after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Good blocked traffic and appeared to hit the officer with her SUV before she was shot multiple times. The sheriff called ICE fake, made-up law enforcement at a press conference and warned You don't want this smoke. She also said her police department would bring it against any ICE agents who commit a crime."
"First off Guy, any time you pit law enforcement officers against law enforcement officers, it makes nobody safe, Lyons said. He then said the increased rhetoric from Bilal and other ICE critics is making it harder for agents to safely do their jobs. I'm not one for big banter or bluster, buy my message to the sheriff is: try it. Try [and] arrest my folks and see what happens, Lyons said."
"Homan told Dr. Phil: I'm begging. Tone down the rhetoric. In my career, I've buried Border Patrol agents, I've buried ICE agents, and the saddest thing I've ever had to do is hand a folded flag to a spouse or a child. I don't want to see anybody die. Anybody. The people we're looking for, even the worst of the worst. I don't want to see anybody die. So, for God's sake, let's tone the reddit down. Less blood. I don't want to see more bloodshed."
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons publicly challenged Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal after she warned her department would arrest ICE agents who commit crimes, speaking in the wake of a Minneapolis shooting that killed 37-year-old Renee Good. Lyons said pitting law enforcement against itself endangers public safety and criticized heightened rhetoric for making agents' jobs more dangerous. Lyons dared Bilal to try to arrest ICE agents and indicated ICE could send additional agents to assist in Minneapolis operations. White House border czar Tom Homan also urged critics to tone down rhetoric to prevent further bloodshed.
