As more Democrats push to unmask U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, the White House is pointing fingers at a surge in targeted violence against law enforcement agents.
The White House put out a fact sheet Wednesday afternoon highlighting the rise in violencew against ICE agents, a day after legislation was introduced in Congress by several Democrats, citing transparency in an effort to prohibit federal immigration officials from covering their faces.
The Trump administration claims ICE agents are “facing a 700% surge in assaults,” blaming Democrats as a result of “dangerous, inflammatory rhetoric” directed at immigration officials.
In the last week, several immigration officials have been injured in attacks around the country, according to the White House.
On Monday, a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, was shot up, injuring three law enforcement personnel.
