It’s not just being influenced by rhetoric, they’ve been involved and encouraged these protests.
Via Daily Caller:
Customs and Border Protection acting Commissioner Mark Morgan placed blame on Democratic rhetoric for an attempted terrorist attack on an immigration detention center.
“Why is this happening? We know why it’s happening. The rhetoric that’s out there from our own elected leaders,” the CBP chief said Monday on Fox News. “They are attacking the men and women of ICE. They are attacking the men and women of CBP. It’s unjust, it’s unfair, it’s misinformed — and outright, sometimes they are just lying to the American people, and it’s undoubtedly fueling this.”
Morgan was reacting to an attempted terrorist attack on an ICE facility.
Willem Van Spronsen, 69, launched an attack early Saturday morning on an ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington. Armed with a rifle and flares, Spronsen attempted to light the buildings on fire, but only managed to ignite a nearby vehicle before he died in a shootout with police.
