January 1, ICE Agents Braved Gunfire To Save Detainees

Wyatt’s Take

• ICE agents acted fast to shield detainees during a sniper attack.
• The gunman had planned to target federal officers and destroy property.
• President Trump slammed the left for stoking hatred of law enforcement.

Surveillance video outside an ICE facility caught the moment agents rushed shackled detainees to safety while gunfire erupted. One detainee was killed and two more were wounded, but ICE agents made sure the rest got inside the building unharmed.

The shooter, Joshua Jahn, fired at random and died by his own hand, leaving behind notes calling ICE officers

“dirty”

and hoping for maximum damage. He wrote he wished to avoid harming bystanders but instead aimed violence straight at federal law enforcement.

ICE officials applauded the agents who risked their lives to move detainees out of danger, saying their courage shows the true nature of law enforcement in America.

President Trump called out Democrats for vilifying officers and linking left-wing rhetoric to the uptick in violence against ICE and cops.

“This is despicable!” said Trump.

“The Brave Men and Women of ICE are just trying to do their jobs, and remove the ‘WORST of the WORST’ Criminals out of our Country, but they are facing an unprecedented increase in threats, violence, and attacks by Deranged Radical Leftists.”

Trump also demanded an end to the negative talk against law enforcement, promising to back America’s officers and shut down domestic terrorism before it gets worse.
