WASHINGTON—The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released new statistics showing a more than 1,300% rise in assaults on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks, and an 8,000% rise in death threats during the first year of the Trump administration. From January 20 to December 31, 2025, DHS officials reported 275 assaults compared with 19 in the same period in 2024. Between January 21, 2025 and January 7, 2026, ICE officers experienced 66 vehicular attacks versus only 2 the previous year. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the surge is linked to “sanctuary politicians and the media creating an environment that demonizes law enforcement.” The agency urges the public to report doxing and harassment via 866‑DHS‑2‑ICE or its online tip form.
