Representatives August Pfluger (TX-11), Russel Fry (SC-07), Roger Williams (TX-25), and Pete Sessions (TX-17) have introduced a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives condemning recent violent attacks against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and facilities. The resolution also reaffirms congressional support for ICE’s mission to protect national security and public safety.
The move follows several incidents, including a deadly shooting at an ICE field office in Dallas, Texas, on September 24, 2025, where a gunman targeted detainees, resulting in one death and two critical injuries. Other reported events include riots at ICE facilities in Illinois and Oregon, bomb threats, and violent assaults against federal officers nationwide.
The resolution specifically condemns violent attacks and threats directed at ICE officers, facilities, and detainees; reaffirms Congress’s support for ICE’s work; calls on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ), and other law enforcement agencies to investigate violence and address digital threats such as doxxing; and urges public officials and media figures to avoid rhetoric that could incite hostility toward law enforcement.
Congressman Pfluger stated: “Our ICE officers and facilities have been hit with an unprecedented wave of violent threats this year. Radical leftists would rather see the criminal illegal aliens that the Biden administration let in our country continue to wreak havoc in our communities than support the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every single day to uphold our laws and defend American citizens. As Americans, we must protect our ICE agents and equip them with the tools, resources, and equipment they need to carry out their mission effectively. Any attack on our law enforcement will not be tolerated.”
Congressman Fry added: “ICE officers put their lives on the line every day to protect our nation, enforce our immigration laws, and safeguard our communities. It is unacceptable that ICE agents are being targeted for upholding the laws of this country. Congress must send a clear and unmistakable message: violent attacks will not be tolerated, reckless rhetoric will not be excused, and we will stand firmly with those who protect us every day.”
Congressman Williams commented: “The heinous targeted attacks on our ICE facilities and officers are unacceptable and must never be tolerated. These men and women put their lives on the line every day to uphold the rule of law, protect our borders, and keep American families safe,” said Congressman Williams. “I am proud to support this Resolution, as we stand firmly behind ICE’s mission and will continue to support their critical work to defend our national security and enforce our immigration laws.”
Congressman Sessions said: “The attack in Dallas was a horrific act of political violence directed at those who put their lives on the line to protect our communities. I am grateful for the men and women of ICE and federal law enforcement who serve with courage every day, no matter the circumstances. Political violence has no place in America, and we must stand united in condemning these attacks and support those who keep our nation safe.”
August Pfluger currently serves as U.S. Representative for Texas’ 11th district after winning his seat by defeating Jon Mark Hogg in 2020 with nearly 80% of the vote. He replaced Mike Conaway when he began serving in Congress in 2021.
