Democrats have spent years vilifying ICE as “fascists,” “the Gestapo,” and “slave patrols,” inciting a 1,000% surge in assaults on agents and a wave of Radical Left terror. Their words aren’t just reckless — they’re a battle cry for violence.

You can create a list twice as long as this of Trump’s comments vilifying and inciting violence against democrats.

Edit: I find it funny that they linked the “1,000%” number to a story that doesn’t include any evidence for the number.

I want to know where that figure comes from. 1,000% is probably small when you consider how much ice has expanded in size and activity.

    Percentage is probably one of the easiest ways to calculate a difference but presenting a percentage change can be mildly misleading if you don't know what the original numbers are.

    An increase of 100% is really a 2x increase, 1000% increase is an 11x increase.
    If there used to be 1 ICE raid a month and now there are 11, that's a 1000% increase. Given the change in directive and ramp up in action I'd be somewhat surprised if it was only 1000%

    Yes Trump, people upset that a masked and poorly trained federal shadow force can kick in your door zip tie your children without a warrant disappear you forever without accountability or a right to a trial in the middle of the night is clearly an unreasonable concern
