Senator warns of 'powder keg' as people condone behavior of anti-ICE protesters
Fox News
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., speaks out against villainization of ICE agents during Senate Committee on Armed Services hearing about Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops.
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"You've seen a 1,000% increase in assaults on ICE officers. So to my Democrat colleagues who want to have this hearing, we got to be honest about what's actually happening out there. This rhetoric is making it open season on law enforcement. And it is incredibly dangerous," Schmitt said.
"So when we villainize ICE agents who have family members, who are husbands, who are mothers, who are simply enforcing the laws that... Congress has passed over the years. This is insane. And the condoning of people blocking off vehicles from, you know, enforcing the law, these ICE agents, this is a powder keg. It's a powder keg," he added.
