Trump Drops Directive for ICE and DHS on How to Handle Rioters Attacking Their Vehicles — Exactly What Patriots Wanted to Hear
President Trump has had enough.
After watching viral footage of ICE officers being violently attacked by left-wing agitators during a raid in California, Trump issued a no-nonsense directive to Homeland Security: ARREST the “slimeballs”—and do it immediately.
“I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public,” Trump wrote. “Authorization immediately granted for arrest and incarceration.”

The video shows anti-ICE extremists hurling rocks and bricks at government vehicles, causing significant damage and putting federal officers’ lives at risk. But instead of hiding behind red tape, Trump is doing what weak leaders won’t: backing law enforcement with clear, aggressive action.
Here’s what he said:
I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle. Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles. I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER.
Therefore, I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, and Border Czar, Tom Homan, to instruct all ICE, Homeland Security, or any other Law Enforcement Officer who is on the receiving end of thrown rocks, bricks, or any other form of assault, to stop their car, and arrest these SLIMEBALLS, using whatever means is necessary to do so. I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public. I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again! AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The directive was addressed to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Border Czar Tom Homan, empowering every ICE, Homeland Security, or law enforcement officer to act with full authority if they are attacked during an operation.
This is exactly what patriots have been demanding: law and order with teeth.
For far too long, leftist mobs have felt emboldened to assault federal officers with little consequence—thanks to blue-state DA’s and a complicit media. Not anymore. Trump’s message is crystal clear: throw a brick at a cop, expect cuffs—or worse.
No more standing down. No more vehicles turned into sitting ducks. Trump just turned the tide back in favor of the men and women in uniform.
America’s frontline defenders finally have a president who has their back—and he’s not playing games.

I’m shrewd, passionate, learned and energetic, God-fearing and patriotic. I’ve done a fine job reintroducing good old American conservatism to a new generation of Americans. I’ve earned the love and friendship of many, the hatred of some, but the respect of all.
