DHS reports more than 180 vehicle attacks on officers over Trump’s second term

The Department of Homeland Security reported that there were more than 180 vehicle attacks on officers over the first year of President Trump’s second term in office.There have been 182 vehicle attacks against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents since Jan. 21, 2025, according to DHS on Tuesday.
ICE officers have experienced 68 vehicular attacks against them from the start of Trump’s second term to Jan. 24, 2026, after only two occurred over the same time in the previous year.
CBP agents experienced 114 vehicular attacks against them, up from only 51 the prior year.
Last month, two illegal immigrants who are suspected Tren de Aragua gang associates “weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland,” according to DHS. The Border Patrol agent shot them in self-defense, and the two illegal immigrants were hospitalized.
“Sanctuary politicians with their rhetoric comparing ICE to the Nazi Gestapo, slave patrols, and the secret police and encouraging illegal aliens to evade arrest have incited violence against law enforcement,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.
“We have seen more than 180 vehicle attacks against law enforcement since President Trump took office. In addition to these vehicle attacks, our officers are also facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats as they risk their lives to arrest murderers, pedophiles, rapists, gang members, and terrorists.”
