This is outrageous.
In a stunning display of far-left extremism, Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal is demanding that President Trump apologize — not to her, but to illegal immigrants — while accusing ICE of terrorism.
Jayapal, who represents Washington state, is under heavy criticism after launching a fiery social media tirade this week. In an Instagram post, she labeled U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a “terrorist force,” claiming agents are “kidnapping” people off the streets — an accusation many are calling dangerous and delusional.
During a Wednesday appearance on CNN, Jayapal stood by her remarks, saying:
“ICE is acting like a terrorist force… U.S. citizens and legal residents are being disappeared by masked men, with no oversight or accountability.”
Trump White House Responds: Jayapal Should Apologize to Law Enforcement and the American People
White House Press Secretary Abigail Jackson condemned Jayapal’s comments in a statement to Fox News Digital, calling them a disgrace to public discourse.
“Jayapal’s smear against ICE agents — who are bravely enforcing federal immigration law under President Trump’s direction — is not only false, it’s reckless,” Jackson stated.
“Her inflammatory rhetoric endangers the lives of officers and undermines the rule of law.”
According to the Trump administration, attacks on ICE agents have risen by more than 500% this year alone — a surge many blame on left-wing incitement.
Jayapal Doubles Down: Accuses ICE Agents of “Kidnapping” and “Lawlessness”
Rather than walk back her claims, Jayapal escalated her accusations, painting ICE agents as anonymous abductors operating without legal authority.
“They say they’re ICE, but they wear masks, have no badges, and are dragging people off the streets. This is not the America I believed in,” she told CNN.
In a shocking twist, Jayapal demanded that President Trump apologize to immigrants, legal residents, and even U.S. citizens for allowing ICE to do its job.
“People who’ve been here for 20 years — who committed no crimes — are being deported by masked men,” she claimed.
Farmer, Small Business Fears Weaponized Against ICE
Jayapal also tried to frame ICE enforcement as a threat to the economy, citing conversations with farmers and small business owners.
“In Spokane, I spoke with growers and restaurant owners who are terrified,” she said. “Sales are down, customers are afraid to go out. ICE is terrorizing our communities.”
Critics quickly pushed back, arguing that President Trump’s enforcement policies are focused on protecting American jobs and national security, not attacking lawful residents.
Border Chief Sounds Alarm on Radical Rhetoric
Former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan joined the growing chorus of concern, appearing on The Will Cain Show Monday to slam rising anti-ICE hostility.
“Assaults on ICE agents are up over 500%, and now we’re seeing apps like ‘ICEBlock’ used to track agent movements in real-time,” Homan said. “This is a recipe for disaster. The blood will be on the hands of those encouraging this madness.”
He cited previous incidents, including violent attacks in Los Angeles where ICE personnel were targeted with bricks and Molotov cocktails.
President Trump Stands With Law Enforcement
While far-left lawmakers like Jayapal continue to vilify federal officers, President Donald Trump has made it clear that the safety and security of the American people remain his top priority.
Under his leadership, ICE has been empowered to uphold the law, protect communities, and restore order to a border that had been neglected for years.
“This is about law and order,” President Trump said in a recent statement. “The days of open borders, chaos, and lawlessness are over.”
Conclusion: Jayapal’s Dangerous Words Have Consequences
As violent rhetoric from the radical left escalates, Americans are being asked to choose: Do we stand with the brave men and women upholding the law — or with politicians demonizing them for political gain?
In today’s America, it’s not President Trump who owes anyone an apology — it’s the unhinged Democrats attacking the very people who keep us safe.
