‘I Hope Your Wife Dies:’ ICE Agents, Their Families Face 8,000% Increase in Death Threats Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, tasked by Congress to carry out federal immigration law, are facing an unprecedented increase in death threats against themselves and their families. This week, ICE officials revealed the extent to which agents are being threatened by “Abolish ICE” sympathizers, detailing an 8,000 percent increase in death threats and a more than 1,300 percent increase in assaults against agents. In one recent threat, officials said, a man left a voicemail on an ICE agent’s phone in which he called him a “fucking fascist pig” and pleaded with him to “kill yourself,” as well as making threats against the agent’s wife. How come you lying hypocrite didn’t raise hell when Obama or Clinton used ICE to deport illegals? Yet, no riots, no death threats.
