 RESOLUTION

 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that violent 
attacks against United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement

    (ICE) facilities and officers are unacceptable, must be fully condemned, and 
 that Congress stands in support of ICE's mission to protect national 
 security, public safety, and the enforcement of immigration laws.

Whereas, since President Trump took office, there has been a rise in hostile 
 rhetoric and violence directed against ICE facilities and officers;
Whereas, on September 24, 2025, a shooter opened fire from a rooftop at an ICE 
 field office in Dallas, Texas, striking detainees in transit, killing 
 one and critically injuring two before taking his own life;
Whereas investigators during the September 24, 2025, shooting found the words 
 ``ANTI-ICE'' written on shell casings discovered at the scene and a note 
 saying ``give ICE agents real terror'', according to the Federal Bureau 
 of Investigation

    (FBI) ;
Whereas, on September 19, 2025, violent rioters stormed the ICE processing 
 center in Broadview, Illinois, assaulting officers, vandalizing 
 vehicles, hurling tear gas canisters, blocking entrances, and 
 trespassing on restricted property;
Whereas, on September 1, 2025, radical demonstrators in Portland, Oregon, staged 
 violent riots outside an ICE facility, brandishing a guillotine and 
 threatening Federal officers;
Whereas, on August 25, 2025, an individual entered the reporting entrance of a 
 Dallas, Texas ICE field office and claimed to be carrying a bomb in his 
 backpack;
Whereas, on August 2, 2025, a rock was thrown and broke a window at an ICE 
 facility in Yakima, Washington;
Whereas, on July 8, 2025, a gunman opened fire at the entrance of a Border 
 Patrol station in McAllen, Texas, wounding 3 officers;
Whereas, on July 4, 2025, armed assailants wearing tactical gear carried out an 
 attack on the ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas, during which a 
 local law enforcement officer was shot;
Whereas, on June 7, 2025, more than 1,000 rioters besieged a Federal law 
 enforcement facility in Los Angeles, California, assaulting ICE 
 officers, slashing vehicle tires, and defacing Federal property;
Whereas these acts reflect an escalation of attacks against ICE and Federal 
 immigration enforcement operations, including a 1,000 percent increase 
 in assaults on ICE officers;
Whereas ICE officers and supporting staff carry out vital functions in the 
 protection of national security, public safety, and the enforcement of 
 United States immigration laws;
Whereas ICE's work frequently involves high-risk operations that protect 
 communities from criminal organizations and disrupt transnational 
 criminal networks;
Whereas ICE is working to locate and protect unaccompanied alien children, with 
 more than 465,000 having entered the border during the Biden 
 Administration;
Whereas, under President Trump, ICE has located at least 22,638 unaccompanied 
 alien children, with more than 400 sponsors arrested, and 27 minors 
 tragically found dead as a result of murder, suicide, or drug overdose;
Whereas, since the Trump Administration took office, roughly 70 percent of ICE 
 arrests have been of individuals unlawfully present in the United States 
 who were convicted of or charged with criminal offenses;
Whereas violent, ideologically motivated attacks on ICE not only endanger life, 
 but undermine public trust in the rule of law and impair the capacity of 
 ICE to carry out lawful missions; and
Whereas Members of Congress and public officials have a duty to condemn all such 
 violence, ensure accountability for perpetrators, and enact measures to 
 protect ICE agents, personnel, and facilities: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) unequivocally condemns the recent escalation of violent 
 attacks and threats against ICE facilities, personnel, and 
 detainees under ICE custody and expresses profound sorrow for 
 the lives lost and the injuries sustained;

    (2) reaffirms its full support for ICE agents, officers, 
 and staff performing their law enforcement duties under the 
 Department of Homeland Security, and acknowledges the 
 difficult, dangerous, and essential tasks they carry out daily 
 in service of public safety;

    (3) calls on the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, the 
 Department of Justice, the Department of State, and Federal, 
 State, and local law enforcement partners to investigate 
 attacks, strengthen coordination to prevent violence, improve 
 training and equipment, and counter digital threats such as 
 tracking technologies and doxxing platforms used against 
 personnel, facilities, and detainees; and

    (4) encourages all public officials and media entities to 
 reject rhetoric that incites hostility toward ICE or law 
 enforcement personnel, and instead to speak responsibly about 
 those charged with enforcing the laws of the United States.
