Anti-ICE activists have been vandalizing the ICE Phoenix Field Office with death threats.
The office has become a site for weekly protests against federal law enforcement, frequently crossing over from protests to rioting as activists ignore orders from agents.
“Nuremberg 2 for ICE Nazis,” read one graffiti referencing the trials of Nazi war criminals. “Hang ‘em high.”
“Pigs enter here,” read another.
“Kristi Noem is a dog-killing b*tch,” read another.
At the beginning of this month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported an 8,000 percent increase in death threats. DHS blamed “sanctuary politicians” for this jump in actual and threatened violence.
DHS also reported assaults on ICE agents had increased by over 1,300 percent and vehicular attacks increased by over 3,200 percent.
Last year, DHS tallied just under 300 assaults and 66 vehicular attacks.
The state’s chief law enforcement leader has been accused of worsening the tensions between federal law enforcement and progressive activists.
Attorney General Kris Mayes made the case for shooting ICE agents in a media interview last week. Mayes claimed Arizona’s “Stand Your Ground” law and ICE agents’ regular habit of wearing masks made it reasonable for an individual to shoot ICE agents.
“It’s kind of a recipe for disaster. Because you have these masked federal officers with very little identification, sometimes no identification, wearing plain clothes and masks,” said Mayes. “[The] law says that if you reasonably believe your life is in danger and you’re in your house or your car or on your property that you could defend yourself with lethal force.”
Mayes followed up her remarks with another video statement stating that she wasn’t advocating for Arizonans to shoot ICE agents, but did call ICE enforcements “increasingly chaotic and dangerous.” Mayes blamed federal law enforcement for the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Good and Pretti died while attempting to interfere with immigration enforcement actions.
“Arizonans do not want masked agents entering their homes without warrants,” said Mayes. “It is un-American and it threatens the rights and safety of everyone in our state.”https://azfreenews.com/2026/01/activists-vandalize-phoenix-ice-office-with-death-threats/
