ICE Issues Warning Amid Increased Threats
 
Amid a rise in reports of assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, the agency has emphasized that such actions are considered a federal crime and will lead to felony charges. ICE noted that federal charges will be pressed regardless of immigration status. The agency issued warnings regarding the offenses, which has drawn criticism from advocates who argue it discourages lawful protests.
 
Civil rights groups have spoken out, claiming that the broad way “resistance” has been defined could make people afraid to speak up, chilling free expression.

ICE stated, “WARNING: Assaulting an ICE officer is a serious federal crime!” ICE added, “Assaulting a federal officer may cost you your freedom.” The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reported a significant rise in threats and injuries to personnel.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

They can just use rent-a-protestors who will be free to speak up against enforcing the law. :thud:
