White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vowed the administration will be combatting a “campaign of terrorism” as Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the deployment of DOJ agents to ICE facilities.
“We are witnessing domestic terrorist sedition against the federal government,” Miller posted to X on Friday evening, announcing that the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force is being dispatched.
The announcement follows a shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas where two, including the shooter, died. The investigation is still early, but officials have pointed to early evidence that suggests the shooter’s politics motivated the act of terror. Rounds found near the shooter were engraved with “anti-ICE.”
The same ICE facility had faced a bomb threat in August, and officials have called for rhetoric to be toned down as assaults on ICE agents have jumped 1000% this year.
Bondi cited these instances of violence when announcing the deployment of DOJ agents.
She wrote:
I have witnessed the continued onslaught of violence perpetrated against ICE officers across our country. The Department of Justice will not stand idly by in the face of such lawlessness. At my direction, I am deploying DOJ agents to ICE facilities—and wherever ICE comes under siege—to safeguard federal agents, protect federal property, and immediately arrest all individuals engaged in any federal crime. Pursuant to President Trump’s recent executive action, I am also instructing the Joint Terrorism Task Forces across the country to disrupt and investigate all entities and individuals engaged in acts of domestic terrorism, including the repeated acts of violence and obstruction against federal agents. The Department of Justice will seek the most serious available charges against all participants in these criminal mobs, including conspiracy offenses, assault offenses, civil disorder offenses, and terrorism offenses. While these never-ending attacks are designed to break our will, they only strengthen our resolve to complete the work begun. To that end, I have directed the FBI, DEA, ATF, and USMS to accelerate our efforts alongside the Department of Homeland Security to locate, apprehend, detain, prosecute, and remove all illegal aliens present in our country. The rule of law will prevail.
“Assets mobilizing. This campaign of terrorism will be brought down,” Miller wrote in response to Bondi’s announcement.
According to FBI Director Kash Patel, the suspected Dallas ICE shooter, Joshua Jahn, looked up multiple DOJ facilities before Dallas and was also searching for video of conservative activist Charlie Kirk recently being assassinated.
