The recent arrest of Anthony Kelly from Cincinnati for making violent threats against officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) serves as a stark reminder of the growing hostility faced by our dedicated law enforcement and immigration enforcement agents. This alarming situation reflects a deeper issue prevalent in our society — a climate where far-left extremists feel empowered to act out against those who uphold the rule of law after President Trump’s commitment to securing our borders.
Under the Biden administration, we have witnessed a staggering increase in assaults against ICE agents, with reports indicating an 830 percent rise from January to July 2021 compared to last year. This statistic is not merely coincidental; it is a direct result of the radical political environment that blames our enforcement officers for simply doing their jobs. The attack on the values and principles this nation was built upon — law, order, and respect for those who protect us — is being fueled by misinformation and hateful narratives spread by the media and Hollywood elites.
Moreover, the violent protests against federal agents, such as the recent attack on ICE officers at a California marijuana farm, signify a troubling shift towards lawlessness that we must not ignore. These brave men and women, who risk their lives daily to enforce our immigration laws, face unprecedented threats. This isn’t just a story about one individual; it exemplifies the broader, dangerous trend fostering aggression against those who defend our nation’s sovereignty.
It’s critical that we stand up against this tide of violence and lawlessness. As Americans who have seen this country thrive under strong leadership, it’s essential we support President Trump’s call to hold these lawless groups accountable. His unwavering commitment to protecting our law enforcement reflects the values we cherish: patriotism, hard work, and a sense of community.
As older, hardworking Americans who have contributed to this nation, it is understandably frustrating to see our values disregarded. We must rally together, speak out against these extreme actions, and support the efforts of our law enforcement agencies. Together, we can ensure that our voices are heard and that the hard work we’ve put into making America great is not forgotten. We must demand accountability for those who threaten the safety of our community and the rule of law. The country needs our steadfast resolve now more than ever.
