A retired ICE agent, Victor Avila, has sounded the alarm over a sharp increase in violent incidents against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, which he attributes to policies enacted during the Trump administration. The data reveals a troubling trend of heightened aggression toward law enforcement personnel at the southern border, prompting calls for a reassessment of current immigration protocols.
During an interview on the political talk show ‘The Will Cain Show,’ Avila detailed how the Trump-era strategies, particularly those aimed at increasing border security and enforcing stricter immigration laws, have contributed to a surge in confrontations. He emphasized that these policies have not only intensified the level of violence but also placed agents in more dangerous situations, challenging the effectiveness and humane aspects of current enforcement measures.
