The liberal media’s relentless demonization of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol agents has now culminated in bloodshed—just as former Acting ICE Director and current Border Czar Tom Homan warned. In a chilling Monday night appearance on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle, Homan expressed grim vindication after a violent attack on Border Patrol agents in Texas, proving that the left’s incendiary rhetoric has deadly consequences.
“I’ve been warning about this for two months… I said the rhetoric didn’t decrease significantly. It’s going to end up with loss of life,” Homan told host Laura Ingraham. “You’ve got members of Congress, [Rep. Pramila] Jayapal compared me to terrorists. [Rep.] AOC says we’re out there violating people’s civil and constitutional rights. You’ve got [House Minority Leader Hakeem] Jeffries out there running his mouth about the Gestapo.”
Homan’s warnings were tragically validated when 27-year-old Michigan resident Ryan Louis Mosqueda ambushed Border Patrol agents outside a McAllen, Texas facility, armed with a rifle and tactical gear. The attack left two officers injured and a Border Patrol employee shot in the knee before Mosqueda was fatally shot by responding officials. This wasn’t an isolated incident—it was the direct result of the left’s orchestrated smear campaign against law enforcement.
While Democrats and their media allies screech about “human rights,” they’ve spent years vilifying the very officers tasked with upholding U.S. immigration laws. From Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) likening ICE to Nazis to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries invoking the Gestapo, the left has normalized hatred toward federal agents. And as Breitbart reported in June, assaults against ICE officers have surged by 500% as the Trump administration cracks down on illegal immigration—particularly in sanctuary cities like Los Angeles, where leftist mobs have rioted, vandalized government buildings, and looted stores in protest.
“The ramped-up rhetoric is going to cause a situation where someone will lose their life. We saw that today. I was hoping I’d be wrong, but I wasn’t,” Homan said. “Unless we stop the hateful rhetoric against ICE and Border Patrol, comparing them to Nazis, there’s going to be more situations like that.”
President Donald Trump has remained steadfast in supporting ICE and Border Patrol, despite the left’s relentless attacks. While Democrats openly obstruct immigration enforcement—even passing laws to shield illegal aliens—Trump has prioritized the rule of law and national security. The administration’s raids on sanctuary cities have exposed the left’s hypocrisy: they claim to care about “safety” while enabling criminal aliens and encouraging violence against federal officers.
Homan’s dire prediction has come true, and the blood is on the hands of the liberal media and Democrat politicians who fueled this hatred. “ICE has already stepped up enforcement and posture at their facilities. Border Patrol’s done the same thing. But the rhetoric has to stop,” Homan urged. “They’re simply enforcing laws that Congress enacted. It’s going to end in bloodshed. I think there will be more bloodshed.”
