Here was the response to Roan's comments:

The next day, in a statement to TMZ, DHS’s assistant secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin said, “Pink Pony Club is good. Pedophiles are bad. That’s who we’re getting off of our streets. Get a grip.”

In a separate event...

In September, Hacks actor Hannah Einbinder closed her Emmys speech by saying, “Go Birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine!” In a response given to TMZ, DHS’s McLaughlin issued a statement saying rhetoric like Einbinder’s is “inspiring violence against our ICE law enforcement,” which she claimed was “facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them.” No data backs up McLaughlin’s claim about a dramatic increase in anti-ICE violence, per Oregon Public Broadcasting.

“As this woman fans the flames of hatred, our brave law enforcement will continue enforcing the rule of law and protecting Americans,” McLaughlin continued.

Yes, people saying "Fuck ICE" are fanning the flames. It sure isn't all the borderline legal and straight up illegal things being done by the regime. Couldn't be.

Wait, so illegal immigrants are now pedophiles? That's the Department of Witch Hunt Conspiracies. Of course, the illegal immigrants weren't ever illegal, just calling this out because everyone with a fart's worth of a brain cell knows they're just trying to Nazi like a third grader would.

Are they trying to portray every single person abducted by ICE as a pedophile? Because only many tens of millions of utter morons would buy that.

I have some bad news for you

[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

1000% increase. Theres a reason they dont mention the actual figures is because its <100 cases and also their classification of 'assault' is sometimes people yelling or gesturing angrily and startling them.

Do you also consider that this is an absolutely tiny increase given how agressive and rapidly scaled the ICE threat is to american citizens?
Im suprised it isnt thousands of number of assaults given how immoral and legally questionable their actions are.

Idiot speaker Johnson classified the nude bike ride in Portland as the worst attack. That should tell you something about the rest.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them.

Let's bump those numbers up. The only good fascist....

[–] Sundiata@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

it is actually 1,000% increase in ICE assaults against minorities.

The rule of law is so important that it doesn't apply to the highest position of power in this country.
