• ICE Director Claims Increased Assaults Against Officers — Todd Lyons, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, justified the use of plainclothes, unidentified agents by citing a 413% increase in assaults against ICE officers. Philip Bump of the Washington Post investigated the claim and found ICE conflated "threatening to assault" with actual assault, avoided disclosing absolute numbers, and refused to provide evidence. Bump concluded ICE's representations should not be taken at face value. The Department of Homeland Security subsequently posted on social media claiming a 500% increase in assaults.
• Department of Homeland Security Attributes ICE Officer Assaults to Democratic Opposition — After Philip Bump's Washington Post article questioned ICE's assault statistics, the Department of Homeland Security posted on social media claiming a 500% increase in assaults and stating: "Make no mistake, sanctuary politicians are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and demonization of ICE." The statement blamed Democratic legislators for violence against ICE officers.
• ICE Director Lyons defended masked agents and claimed doxxing threat — ICE Director Todd Lyons was asked on Newsmax about calls from Democrats for ICE agents to stop wearing masks. Lyons stated that ICE agents did not have to wear masks before or after January 20, that he personally does not want officers wearing masks because it is hot and dangerous, but that ICE agents are being doxxed at a horrible rate. The bulletin notes that there have not been any incidents of anyone going to the homes of ICE agents and threatening them or their families.

• Trump administration escalates ICE raids across Los Angeles region, causing widespread community fear and economic disruption — Over a two-week period beginning in early June 2025, the Trump administration intensified immigration enforcement operations across Los Angeles and Southern California, conducting aggressive raids at workplaces including clothing warehouses, car washes, and day-labor sites. Federal agents arrested dozens of immigrants, including multiple family members in single incidents. The raids prompted the administration to deploy thousands of National Guard troops to suppress resulting protests. Communities responded by self-isolating; businesses closed, street vendors stopped working, and residents avoided public spaces out of fear of arrest.
• National Guard deployment to suppress immigration enforcement protests — The Trump administration mobilized thousands of National Guard troops to suppress large-scale public protests against immigration raids. The deployment occurred following one of the largest single-day demonstrations in U.S. history, in which Americans protested the raids and other administration policies.
