Bondi slams Dem lawmakers for setting up new ICE-tracker that will put agents in more danger

October 22, 2025 | | Print Article

After an app tracking immigration enforcement was pulled, congressional Democrats were slammed by Attorney General Pam Bondi for making their own moves to “put ICE agents at risk.”

Along with reports of a 1000% increase in violence against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, federal agents have been made to contend with lawfare, a narrative pushing dangerous rhetoric and what appears to be coordinated efforts at obstruction, including protests outside federal facilities and more recently the use of vehicles to block operations.

Now, weeks after Apple complied with demands from the Justice Department to pull the ICEBlock app that tracked agents in real time, in part providing criminals with an opportunity to flee law enforcement, Bondi called out California Rep. Robert Garcia (D) and Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D) as a new “ICE tracker” website was set to launch courtesy of congressional Democrats.

“Shutdown Democrats are already refusing to pay our law enforcement agents. Now, @RepRobertGarcia and @SenBlumenthal are trying to put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs. @TheJusticeDept has ZERO tolerance for violence against law enforcement — we will prosecute any person who physically assaults our agents,” posted America’s top cop as she captioned a clip of a Monday press conference where Garcia had joined Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) teasing the new site.

“The Oversight Committee — I shared this with the mayor — over the course of the next couple of weeks, the Oversight Committee will be launching on their website a master ICE tracker where we can … essentially tracking every single instance that we can verify that the community will send, be able to send us information on,” explained the committee’s ranking member. “It’ll be all available in one central place.”

Garcia had joined Blumenthal, ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, in penning a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claiming “President Trump has embraced the use of federal immigration agents to terrorize communities nationwide whose politics he disfavors” while demanding details on detentions since the president’s inauguration as well as the descriptions on the training agents received.

Doubling down on dismissing the allegations of assault on officers, the California lawmaker had responded to Bondi’s post with his own that read, “Hey @AGPamBondi, ICE detaining over 170 U.S. citizens is not them ‘just doing their jobs.’ But since you have the time to tweet at me–when are you going to stop covering for pedophiles and release the Epstein files?”

The same day that Garcia was deflecting from detentions of those alleged to have assaulted federal officials, after turning a blind eye for years on Americans held for entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, it was reported that an officer was hospitalized after shots were fired when an illegal alien attempted to evade law enforcement having weaponized his vehicle as a ram.

Meanwhile, with the institution of $1,000 a day fines for illegal aliens who refuse to self-deport, Breitbart News reported that DHS had already issued over 31,000 fines totaling more than $9.6 billion.
