‘Unhinged!’ House Dem calls for people to ‘rise up’ against ICE ‘Gestapo’
August 29, 2025 | Tom Tillison |
U.S. Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) is calling on Americans to “rise up” against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, comparing those tasked with enforcing U.S. immigration laws to Nazis.
The brazen attack came amid a dramatic increase in assaults carried out against the federal agents, according to Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.
“This is a time for good trouble. This is a time for Americans to rise up,” the Democrat said this week at an anti-immigration enforcement rally in Newington, Connecticut. “This is not Germany. That’s the SS and the Gestapo. This is the United States of America. Unmask yourselves.”
The official White House Rapid Response team blasted Larson for his irresponsible rhetoric.
“An absolutely unhinged @RepJohnLarson screams that ICE agents are ‘the SS’ and ‘the Gestapo’ for arresting illegal immigrants. Democrats continue to value illegals and criminals over law-abiding citizens, while endangering the heroes working to keep us safe — it’s sick,” read a post shared on X.
