America is being told the truth by a man who’s been in the trenches: former ICE acting director John Torres reminded viewers on America Right Now that immigration enforcement is continuing even as mobs try to turn law enforcement into political theater. Torres made clear the federal machinery for arrests and removals hasn’t stopped — and he warned that those who physically attack or obstruct agents can’t be treated like sympathetic activists.
That warning isn’t hypothetical. Torres pointed to a shocking escalation in violence against ICE, calling recent attacks a deadly crescendo and blaming inflammatory rhetoric that paints federal officers as villains. A sniper attack on an ICE facility and other assaults, he said, are part of a dangerous trend that proves words have consequences and that lawlessness begets violence.
We should be blunt: blocking a federal operation, doxxing officers, or throwing rocks at agents is not civil disobedience — it’s criminal obstruction and assault. Every patriotic American who pays taxes, follows the law, and wants safe streets should demand prosecutors treat these attacks the same as they would any assault on police: with indictments, arrest warrants, and trials. No more performative outrage from politicians who cheer on chaos while honest officers do the dirty work of protecting our communities.
Federal leadership must back the agents they send into harm’s way instead of offering moral equivocation. Torres has explained that when agents make arrests they collect critical intelligence that dismantles cartel networks and keeps Americans safer, yet left-wing mobs try to sabotage that work with theatrics and violence. The response is simple: protect the operation, prosecute the obstructors, and let the agents finish the job of taking criminals off the streets.
Local prosecutors who wink at obstruction or treat these incidents as harmless protests are failing the public and emboldening lawlessness. It’s time for U.S. attorneys and state prosecutors to put grand juries to work and hold accountable anyone who assaults or interferes with federal officers, regardless of their political branding or social media clout. If we respect the rule of law, we will show that the shield of justice protects our officers and punishes the violent.
Americans who believe in order, security, and accountability should stand with ICE agents and the prosecutors willing to do their duty. John Torres sounded the alarm because he knows what happens when enforcement is undermined — and it’s not just about policy, it’s about public safety and basic decency. Hold the attackers to account, support the men and women who enforce the law, and stop letting rhetorical pyromaniacs set fire to our communities.
