EXCLUSIVE: DHS Secretary Mullin slams sanctuary politicians as attacks on ICE officers skyrocket
Summary
Fox News reports that DHS recorded 647 assaults against ICE personnel from January 20, 2025, through September 20, 2026, compared with 37 during a comparable period under the Biden administration—an increase of 1,649%. DHS attributes the rise to opposition to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies, including threats, physical attacks, gunfire, and interference with operations. The article highlights several alleged incidents and prosecutions while also describing intensified political criticism of ICE and expanded sanctuary policies in Democratic-run jurisdictions.

Biblical Context
The article concerns violence against government personnel, political hostility, alleged criminal conduct, and the responsibilities of public authorities. Scripture directly addresses the general principle that governing authorities have a legitimate role in restraining wrongdoing and that people should not respond to authority through violence or retaliation. Romans 13:1-4 describes governing authorities as responsible for maintaining order and punishing wrongdoing, while 1 Peter 2:13-17 calls for respect toward governing institutions and warns against using freedom as a cover for evil. These passages provide a broad moral framework, not a judgment that every ICE action is justified or that every criticism of ICE is illegitimate. Scripture also requires impartial justice and protection for the vulnerable, so the article alone does not establish whether all immigration-enforcement practices meet biblical standards. No specific prophetic fulfillment is identified.
