Assaults on ICE agents reached a decade high in 2017, and assaults on Border Patrol agents have also surged in recent years, according to new government numbers that seem to back up agents’ claims that illegal immigrants are increasingly looking to fight rather than flee.
The new numbers, reported by Homeland Security’s inspector general, could even be underselling the problem, investigators said, because the government doesn’t do a good job of tracking incidents, and agents and officers don’t always report them properly.
But the report does signal renewed danger particularly on the southwest border, where agents say a surge in illegal immigration in recent years generally correlates with growing violence.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, often refuse to bring charges or win cases against the perpetrators, the audit found.
At the border, the most frequent method of attack was projectiles — usually large rocks — which accounted for half of assaults. But bombs, clubs, knives, guns and even laser pointers to blind agents have all been used.

Committing the violence that Americans won’t commit.
I don’t know what an illegal immigrant is.
“...This is who the Democrats support....”
Because...these ARE DEMOCRAT VOTES!!! No other reason. You can also thank the non-existent RINOS who do NOT fight back. No accountability, no responsibility. You can thank them because ONLY TRUMP fights!!!!
Resolve this with revised Rules of Engagement. Stop throwing them bottles of water and cupcakes. Start tossing lead, about 55gr at a time.

Common sense solutions, will we ever see them?
Exactly!
The President needs to highlight this in his speeches. After 2 years we have learned that this is the only way for the public to receive the truth.
Real Americans won’t stand for this nonsense.
This is who the presidents prior to POTUS Trump supported. Jorge Busho is the greatest traitor in modern history and an enemy of the state. This mess goes directly to him. O’Bozo was just following his lead.
Issue a backhoe to every BP unit...and with the understanding that ICE can use it too.
Hey, 0bama’s gone. Let the border patrol/ICE do what they, in THEIR judgement, need to do.
Who’s tying their hands behind their back, Neilson?
Shoot these criminal aliens and toss their carcasses back over the border.
Problem solved
IF these people assaulting our borders, our people guarding our borders THINK they can get away with this sort of activity, THINK what they will do once inside the country having succeeded in breaking into our country, and getting away with it.
OF COURSE they will continue with the violence. It worked for them, so why not?
Start busting heads.
God Bless ICE and all Law Enforcement people!
Deport and/or Exterminate all Illegals ASAP!
GO PRESIDENT TRUMP!
The heck with that ... shoot 'em and bury 'em in unmarked graves: disappear them.
Eventually, the rest of the bad guys are going to start wondering where everyone else went?
If they get violent, kill them. It’s a foreign invasion on our country.
I am so thankful my great uncle Oscar (Bronze Star, Silver Star, two Purple hearts, Boarder Patrol officer and personal friend of Bill Jorden and a real life tough as hell John Wayne like gentleman) didn’t live to see the mess our boarder is.
and when the dems start supplying the ‘migrants’ with heavy weapons ...
Try again. This has been going on for over 50 years
Large rocks, bombs, clubs, knives, and guns are all deadly weapons. I hope our armed ICE and Border Patrol agents will respond appropriately to assault with a deadly weapon, battery, and attempted murder.
