The left’s unhinged response to the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws is reaching untenable levels, with growing attacks and violence against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
At the center of a campaign that can only be described as domestic terrorism is inflammatory rhetoric coming from Democratic politicians, who liken federal agents to Nazis and members of the Gestapo while twisting their actions to feign wrongdoing — a direct indication of how damaging the deportation of illegal immigrants is to the party.
All of which culminated in a troubling incident this week in Idaho, where a still-at-large suspect allegedly stole an ambulance from a local hospital bay, loaded up staged cans of gas, and drove the vehicle into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office.
Police believe the attack was an attempted arson attack, explaining that the lunatic was unable to ignite the accelerant before being scared off by responding agencies.

“We want to emphasize that this was a serious criminal act. The theft and destruction of an emergency vehicle not only created a risk to responding personnel, but it also temporarily removed a critical medical resource from the community,” Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea said.
“Comments on social media, such as ‘property damage isn’t violence,’ is absolutely false,” Basterrechea continued. “This was absolutely an act of violence, and if the suspect had not been interrupted, there is no doubt this building would have been burned, putting the lives of first responders and others at risk.”
The attempted terrorist attack reportedly came after anti-ICE leftists issued a “call to action” against the location after office space was leased to DHS.
3 days ago, leftist groups “Babe Vote” & “The Idaho 97 Project” issued a “call to action” against this building for leasing some office space to DHS. At 12:30am this morning, 02/19, one of their crazed followers acted on this call & rammed a stolen ambulance into the building. 🔥 https://t.co/EsOByUNr6n

Here’s a sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X, including a photo purported to be the office space that was rammed:
Democrats have been demanding violence for yrs now. They’ve paid for it and promoted it. It’s been a constant attack and we’ve paid for it in blood. How many terrorists, emboldened by Democrat rhetoric, have committed violent assault, bombings, kidnapping, murder/assassination?… pic.twitter.com/vLT0J4q8pa

Remember when the media said ‘mostly peaceful’ protests were fine?
Now suddenly crickets when a stolen ambulance full of gas cans gets rammed into a federal building.
The hypocrisy is insane.

I work at the hospital the ambulance was stolen from and this is the front of the building. It’s actually a medical office building and the DHS lawyer office just recently rented a space there. pic.twitter.com/MOgIgk228z

I hope some prominent democrats step up and say enough is enough.
Law enforcement should not be villainized for doing their jobs.— Jesse (@JesseO007) February 19, 2026
Staging an ambulance for an attack is terrifying and unacceptable authorities must treat this as the serious criminal threat it clearly is.

The left and their communist friends are out of control.
“This was absolutely an act of violence, and if the suspect had not been interrupted, there is no doubt this building would have been burned, putting the lives of first responders and others at risk.”

The left’s adverse reaction to law and order is an obvious sign that Trump‘s DHS is over the target. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
