Trump said in a post today: "I have received a briefing on the fatal shooting at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, Texas. It has now been determined that the mentally unstable shooter etched the words 'Anti-ICE' on the shell. This is despicable! The brave men and women of ICE are simply doing their duty, deporting the most heinous criminals from our country, yet they are facing an unprecedented threat, violence, and escalation of attacks from mentally unstable radical left-wing extremists.
This violence stems from the continued smear campaign by radical left-wing Democrats against law enforcement, calling for the dissolution of ICE, and comparing ICE officials to 'Nazis'. After the murder of Charlie Kirk, the violent acts of radical left-wing terrorists continue, and must be stopped. ICE officers and other brave law enforcement officers are facing serious threats.
We have declared 'Antifa' as a terrorist organization, and this week I will sign an executive order to dismantle these domestic terrorist networks. I call on all Democrats to immediately stop such rhetoric targeting ICE and American law enforcement! The Trump administration will fully support law enforcement, defend a strong border policy, ensure national security, deport violent illegal criminals, and completely eradicate the left-wing domestic terrorism that is intimidating our nation.
Thank you for paying attention to this matter!"
Comment: The risks of Trump's narrative are evident: labeling the entire left-wing camp as "radical left-wing terrorists," inciting violence by accusing Democrats, not only fails to bridge the social divisions in America, but may also make law enforcement departments become tools of political games - when ICE is tied to the "Trump faction", its credibility in law enforcement will inevitably be damaged, and subsequent immigration enforcement may provoke greater public backlash, eventually falling into a vicious cycle where the more hardline it becomes, the more opposition it faces.
