US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers are facing a dramatic and disturbing surge in death threats and violent attacks, new statistics from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) show.

Death threats targeting ICE officers have skyrocketed an unsettling 8,000% in fiscal year 2025 — with sick thugs even putting bounties on their heads as they look to disrupt the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement shared with The Post Wednesday.

ICE officers “risk their lives every single day to remove the worst of the worst,” she said.

“From bounties placed on their heads for their murders, threats to their families, stalking, and doxxing online, our officers are experiencing an unprecedented level of violence,” McLaughlin added.

The DHS spox cited Eduardo Aguilar, an illegal Mexican immigrant living in Dallas Texas, arrested earlier this month for allegedly soliciting the murder of ICE agents in a TikTok post.

The post in Spanish allegedly offered $10,000 for the murder of an ICE agent, and called for “10 dudes in Dallas with determination who aren’t afraid to [two skull emojis],” the DHS said.

Another Texas ICE officer’s spouse was threatened over the phone by an anonymous caller who compared her family to Nazis.

“I don’t know how you let your husband work for ICE, and you sleep at night. F–k you, f–k your family. I hope your kids get deported by accident,” the sick troll said.

“How do you sleep? F–k you. Did you hear what happened to the Nazis after World War II? Because it’s what’s going to happen to your family,” the caller said, according to the DHS.

A separate ICE employee was left an explicit and threatening voicemail, according to the DHS.

“I hope every one of those lawless c—s you call ICE officers gets doxxed one by one,” the cowardly caller says.

Last week, a man named James Warren allegedly posted threats about an ICE office in Ferndale, Washington, describing officers as “Nazis” and “The Gestapo,” according to the DHS.”Join me, let’s make life hard for ICE here in Whatcom County,” Warren said, according to a screengrab of the Facebook post shared by the DHS.

“They [ICE agents] need to be told they are Nazis every day they come to work,” he added.

In the comments below the post, another Facebook user fantasized about the deaths of ICE agents.

“We used to hang traitors in this country. I hope we get back to that soon,” the user, Miljen Aljinovic, wrote, according to grabs shared by the DHS.”Me too, my friend, me too,” Warren replied.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem insisted the threats would “not stop us or slow us down.”

“ICE and our federal law enforcement partners will continue to enforce the law. And if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Secretary Noem said in a statement.
