Whereas the mission of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is to protect the United States through criminal investigations and by enforcing immigration laws to preserve national security and public safety;

Whereas, on November 8, 2025, U.S. Border Patrol agents in Chicago, Illinois, were boxed in by a hostile crowd and took on gunfire and afterward bricks and a paint can were thrown from roofs, damaging Border Patrol vehicles and threatening the physical safety of officers and agents;
Whereas, throughout the country, several Federal agents and officers engaged in immigration law enforcement activities have been forcibly attacked, assaulted, and injured by assailants, including transnational gang members; and
Whereas according to the Department of Homeland Security, there has been a 1,000-percent increase in assaults on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel and an 8,000-percent increase in death threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement law enforcement officers: Now, therefore, be it
