Part 4/10:
The Attack and Its Broader Context
According to New York Post reporter Jenny Taylor, who appeared on the program, the attack occurred amid a surge in anti-ICE violence linked to recent immigration policy shifts under President Biden. Since the Trump administration ramped up deportation efforts, anti-ICE activists have intensified their protests, some turning violent. DHS statistics indicate that assaults targeting ICE personnel have skyrocketed by an alarming 1,000%.
The Washington State incident involved an arsonist throwing a Molotov cocktail and damaging the building with a rock—fortunately, the agents inside managed to escape unharmed. These acts are part of a disturbing pattern where activists are not only protesting but actively seeking to harm enforcement officers.
