U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) is defending Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from those who are comparing them to ‘Nazis.’
President Donald Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan said this week that attacks against ICE officers and federal agents conducting immigration enforcement are up nearly 700% compared to the same time last year.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 10 individuals have been charged with shooting a police officer in the neck and opening fire on other correctional officers outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, on the Fourth of July.
Tuberville, who was joined by U.S. Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) discussed the issue Tuesday on Fox Business.
“Well, first of all, it was a disaster, what the Biden administration did for four years, open borders, it was insane,” Tuberville said.
“Senator Scott and I went down several times. You can’t put a number on what is number one going to cost the American taxpayers over the next years to get all these illegals back out of the country, but the law and order in this country…If you can be educated, you can have money, you can have everything you want, but as an American citizen, if you don’t have safe streets and neighborhoods, you don’t have anything, and so we have to take our country back.”
The attacks on ICE agents are a DIRECT RESULT of Democrats’ radical, extreme, and VIOLENT language.
In America, we don’t shoot cops.

Tuberville blasted some of his Democratic colleagues over their extreme rhetoric against ICE agents in recent weeks.
The Democrats did this on purpose. It was all by design,” he argued. “They want to run over our law and order. They want social justice people running our police departments. That’s not going to happen. I’m all for ice. If you need to defend yourself, shoot back. Do not take this from these people. Do not take it from the Democrats. We have to take our country and neighborhood back.”
