When news broke yesterday that a man in Dallas opened fire on an ICE facility — bullets marked with anti-ICE messages — the headlines barely connected the dots. But the connection is obvious: years of Democratic leaders smearing ICE agents as “Gestapo,” “Nazis,” and “kidnappers” has normalized the idea that these officers are not public servants, but villains deserving of attack.
In our latest supercut, the rhetoric is impossible to miss. Rep. Dan Goldman accuses ICE of “Gestapo-like behavior.” Gavin Newsom warns of “masked men jumping out of unmarked cars” and compares routine immigration enforcement to Nazi Germany. Gov. Tim Walz outdoes them all, spinning wild tales of immigrants whisked away to “foreign torture dungeons” by Trump’s “modern-day Gestapo.” These aren’t just heated words — they are caricatures designed to dehumanize.
Even Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, now House Minority Leader, vowed that “every single ICE agent” trying to conceal his identity “will be identified” — a chilling promise that reads less like oversight and more like a threat. Taken together, the message is clear: ICE isn’t a legitimate law-enforcement body, it’s an enemy force. And when you convince your base of that, violence becomes not just predictable but almost inevitable.
Sure enough, as one police officer noted in the clip, the Dallas gunman literally scrawled anti-ICE rhetoric on his ammunition. This wasn’t random — it was the direct echo of years of demonization from politicians who discovered that Nazi analogies and Gestapo slurs play well on cable news. Once again, incendiary rhetoric has crossed the line from performance art into physical attack.
Democrats can’t wash their hands of this. They spent years telling Americans that ICE agents are stormtroopers, kidnappers, and villains. Now that their caricatures have inspired real bullets, the party of “responsible speech” has some explaining to do. Watch the supercut — it’s the bridge between the words and the violence.
