Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, for example, demanded that the entire agency be abolished, while Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff claimed the victim was not even taking part in any protest, but was simply caught up in the crowd.

Now, obviously, that is just a false claim.

Rene Good and her wife were acting as so-called legal observers, which typically applies to protesters attempting to document and

often disrupt ICE operations.

Elsewhere, Democratic Rep Ilhan Omar, who represents Minneapolis in Congress, spoke at a rally there.

She later appeared on CBS and then went on to basically blame the ICE agent for being in the way of a moving car.

Yeah, tens of thousands of people gathered in Minneapolis and cities and towns across the entire country.

And this was part of a highly organized, what they called Ice Out for Good movement.

And a number of these protests, many of which were outside ICE facilities, did turn violent, prompting a number of arrests and forcing police to deploy tear gas.

Other groups like Freedom Road Socialist Organization and the People's Forum also provided resources and other support to demonstrators.

Right.

Over in Portland, immigration agents were conducting a targeted traffic stop on two individuals when, according to the DHS, quote, agents identified themselves to the vehicle occupants.

The driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents.

One of those agents opened fire in self-defense and struck both occupants.

Within hours, law enforcement confirmed that both victims not only had lengthy rap sheets, but were also affiliated with the violent Tren de Aragua gang.

And in a remarkable press conference, Portland Police Chief Bob Day actually broke down in tears when he confirmed that news.

As you can imagine, the Trump White House quickly pushed back on that video.

For example, here's ICE Director Todd Lyons giving a strong response to those comments.

Have a listen.

And more broadly, it's worth noting just how much of an uptick in attacks on ICE agents that we've seen this year alone.
