As Democrats Remain Silent on the Insurrectionary Assaults on Federal Agents, Senator Schmitt Proposes Increased Criminal Penalties

The Democrats will vote against this. I assume he just wants them on the record supporting revolutionary terrorism.

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., on Thursday announced that he would introduce a bill to raise the maximum penalties for attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel amid an uptick in violent opposition to mass deportations.

"The punishment for attacking an ICE agent should be swift and devastating," he said.
"
I'm introducing a bill to double the maximum federal penalty.

Left-wing radicals want to use violence to advance their political agenda. We can't let them win.

The mass deportations must continue."

The White House confirmed this week that ICE agents had faced a 700% surge in assaults against them as federal agents moved to ramp up arrests and deportations following passage of the "One, Big Beautiful Bill Act."

That legislation greatly expanded ICE's budget to double its detention space from 50,000 beds to 100,000 and to hire as many as 10,000 additional agents.

CNN and MSNBC continue to completely suppress any reporting on one of the Democrat-Media Party's terror cells that just shot up ICE agents.

Even left-leaning Mediaite thinks this is notable.

If you hadn't heard about it yet, you might just be a CNN or MSNBC viewer; neither network has devoted a single minute of airtime to covering the attack, though CNN managed to devote a sentence to it in an online story about another attack on immigration authorities.

Should that not strike you as unusual, imagine this scenario: 11 members of a right-wing militia group open fire on an FBI field office on a major holiday, and a responding police officer is shot in the neck.

You think that would have a cold chance in hell of escaping the attention of the likes of Joe Scarborough, Wolf Blitzer, Jen Psaki, Brian Stelter, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Dana Bash?

This glaring omission is particularly notable given the two news organizations' relentlessly critical coverage of ICE and persistent warnings about right-wing extremism and violence.

Searches for mentions of ICE on air may not turn up any coverage at all of the attempted murder of innocent law enforcement officers, but they do yield plenty of segments about other protests of the organization, MSNBC's Catherine Rampell ranting about its employees "potentially like beating people, and committing violence," and a CNN interview of a Latino man lamenting that his "own people" were being "arrested and harassed by the ICE agents."

Nothing about bullets flying by heads, though.

Just as illegal aliens tell lies about the oppression they're facing in their home countries to get the US to let them into the country, so too are the residents of Gator Gitmo now telling Sad Stories about mosquitoes and "food filled with maggots" to be released back into America.

The "mosquitos are as big as elephants." "We're like rats in an experiment." "I don't know why they're doing this, if it's a form of torture." "They took the Bible I had and told me here, there is no right to religion."

Obvious lies. Just spamming out whatever complaints sound like they might be of constitutional-level import, so that another Biden/Obama judge can issue a restraining order.

Fuck you. If you don't like it, GO THE FUCK HOME.
