Other recent incidents include riots at ICE facilities in Illinois and Oregon, bomb threats, and violent assaults against federal officers across the country.\n\nSpecifically, the resolution:\n\nCondemns violent attacks and threats against ICE officers, facilities, and detainees.\n\nReaffirms Congress\u2019s support for ICE\u2019s mission and acknowledges the difficult and dangerous work its agents perform daily.\n\nCalls on DHS, DOJ, and other federal and local law enforcement partners to investigate and prevent violence, strengthen coordination, and address digital threats such as doxxing of ICE personnel.\n\nUrges public officials and media figures to reject rhetoric that incites hostility toward law enforcement and instead encourage responsible discourse.\n\n\u201cICE officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our nation, enforce our immigration laws, and safeguard our communities,\u201d said Congressman Fry. \u201cIt is unacceptable that ICE agents are being targeted for upholding the laws of this country. Congress must send a clear and unmistakable message: violent attacks will not be tolerated, reckless rhetoric will not be excused, and we will stand firmly with those who protect us every day.\u201d\n\n\"Our ICE officers and facilities have been hit with an unprecedented wave of violent threats this year,\u201d said Congressman Pfluger. \u201cRadical leftists would rather see the criminal illegal aliens that the Biden administration let in our country continue to wreak havoc in our communities than support the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every single day to uphold our laws and defend American citizens. As Americans, we must protect our ICE agents and equip them with the tools, resources, and equipment they need to carry out their mission effectively. Any attack on our law enforcement will not be tolerated.\u201d\n\n\"The attack in Dallas was a horrific act of political violence directed at those who put their lives on the line to protect our communities,\u201d said Congressman Sessions. \u201cI am grateful for the men and women of ICE and federal law enforcement who serve with courage every day no matter the circumstances. Political violence has no place in America, and we must stand united in condemning these attacks and support those who keep our nation safe.\"\n\n\u201cThe heinous targeted attacks on our ICE facilities and officers are unacceptable and must never be tolerated,\u201d said Congressman Williams. \u201cThese men and women put their lives on the line every day to uphold the rule of law, protect our borders, and keep American families safe,\u201d said Congressman Williams. \u201cI am proud to support this Resolution, as we stand firmly behind ICE\u2019s mission and will continue to support their critical work to defend our national security and enforce our immigration laws.\"", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-07T15:07:37Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://fry.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=962"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6007449012249708, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
