WASHINGTON, D.C., July 11, 2025 – President Donald J. Trump has issued a directive authorizing immediate action against individuals attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. The announcement comes after the President witnessed what he described as a shocking incident in Texas, where individuals violently threw rocks and bricks at ICE officers in official vehicles, causing significant damage.
Expressing outrage, President Trump stated that such acts demonstrate a blatant disregard for law and order. He has instructed Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Border Czar Tom Homan to ensure all ICE, Homeland Security, and other law enforcement officers facing such assaults are empowered to stop the attacks and arrest the perpetrators using any necessary means. The President emphasized his commitment to protecting law enforcement, granting total authorization for ICE to defend itself, similar to its role in protecting the public.
“I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again!” Trump declared, urging swift arrests and incarcerations. The directive marks a strong stance against violence targeting federal officers, with the President thanking the public for their attention to the matter.
More details are expected as the situation develops.
