Trump ICE Chief: On Fox: Dems Demonize' Agents As Nazis' and 'Gestapo'
"We need to stop all the rhetoric, Lyons said. ICE is doing a law enforcement mission, that's what we're sworn to do and that's what we're signed up to do. We don't want to be doxxed, we don't want our families threatened, we don't want assassination attempts. He then pointed to the deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas last month, where the anti-ICE shooter killed two detainees."
"They want to demonize us, call us Nazis, call us Gestapos, Lyons said. But yet, all across the country, we're arresting public safety threats, foreign terrorist organizations. Yet they want to demonize us at every turn. McEnany added she was sickened by Lightfoot's push to obtain identifiable characteristics on ICE agents, including their height, hair color, and weight, saying it sounded like a hit list."
Todd Lyons criticized Democrats, including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, for comparing ICE agents to Nazi stormtroopers and called such comparisons disgusting and dangerous. Lyons warned that incendiary rhetoric increases the risk of attacks on federal agents and their families and cited a recent Dallas shooting at an ICE facility where the attacker used an app to track agents and killed two detainees. Lyons condemned promotions of websites and apps that unmask agents and said ICE focuses on arresting public-safety threats and foreign terrorist organizations. Kayleigh McEnany characterized efforts to collect agents' identifiable characteristics as resembling a hit list.
