Trump’s DHS Issues Stern Warning to Democrats Over Harassment of ICE Agents: ‘We’re Not Playing Games’

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under former President Trump is sounding a strong warning to Democrats and left-wing activists who have been targeting ICE agents—calling out those doxxing officers and interfering with immigration enforcement.

The alert comes after a viral video showed Tennessee Democratic State Representative Aftyn Behn apparently stalking and “bullying” ICE agents during an enforcement operation in Nashville. DHS responded firmly, making it clear they won’t tolerate this behavior.

‘This Administration is Not Playing Games’

In an official statement, DHS said, “This Administration is not playing games with the lives and safety of our ICE officers.” They condemned those doxxing agents and obstructing ICE operations, accusing them of siding with “vicious cartels, human traffickers, and violent criminals.”

The video that sparked the warning was shared by Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee. It shows Behn and another woman following ICE vehicles and state troopers, laughing as Behn calls the action “a win.” Ogles called out the lawmakers, saying they were openly admitting to stalling law enforcement efforts, describing it as “reckless” and “aiding and abetting.”

Rising Attacks on ICE Agents

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that attacks on ICE officers have surged alarmingly, with assaults increasing by 413%. She warned that DHS has the capability to trace and track those involved in doxxing and promised that anyone caught will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

This crackdown follows a May 1 search warrant executed by DHS and the U.S. Secret Service at the home of a Los Angeles resident accused of distributing posters that reveal personal details of ICE agents working in Southern California. These posters accuse ICE and Homeland Security Investigations officers of “racial terror” and claim they “kidnap people from their homes,” fueling public outrage.

White House Condemns Democrat Attacks on ICE

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson also weighed in, condemning Democratic attacks on ICE officers. She referenced Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s recent remarks calling ICE officers “Nazis” and mentioned incidents of physical assaults on agents by members of Congress.

Jackson called the Democratic Party “truly unhinged” and accused them of “defending illegal terrorists while attacking those who keep Americans safe.” She emphasized that the administration will hold accountable anyone who commits crimes against federal law enforcement officials.
