Aleft-wing agitator called for the murder of immigration agents at a Hands Off Chicago/No Kings demonstration over the weekend, prompting the Border Patrol Commander leading Operation Midway Blitz in Illinois to express concern in a social media post.
“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 man said on Saturday. “This same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out.”
Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino, who is leading Operation Midway Blitz in Illinois, responded to the Graystak Media video on X.
“Very concerning and unreported by local Chicago stations,” Bovino wrote.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also warned on X Sunday that those who threaten federal agents “will pay the price.”
The radical who made the threatening comments has been identified as Moises Bernal Puentes, an Adult Education Manager at Chicago’s Wilbur Wright College.
Independent journalist Christopher Sweat of GrayStak Media filmed Puentes standing next to an activist holding a Progressive Labor Party sign at Chicago’s Grant Park, where thousands of Democrats protested the Trump administration’s enforcement of immigration laws.
The Progressive Labor Party is a communist revolutionary group that “fights to destroy capitalism and the dictatorship of the capitalist class,” according to its website.
Nationwide, up to seven million liberals allegedly participated in the protests, which were organized by Indivisible, a George Soros-funded organization that launched after the 2016 election to oppose President Donald Trump’s presidency. Although the daytime protests reportedly stayed mainly peaceful, many of the attendees were filmed making disturbing and hateful comments and gestures.
Puentes deleted his social media accounts after the threatening video went viral. The radical is still listed as a staff member of Wilbur Wright College, which is part of the City Colleges of Chicago system.
The father of three was held in contempt of court in June 2017, when he loudly snapped his fingers to show his approval when a judge denied a defense motion to dismiss the indictment against a Chicago police officer charged with murdering 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in 2014.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) also made “concerning” inciteful comments during his speech at the Chicago rally, telling attendees that President Trump and his administration have “declared war on Chicago and cities across this country,” and calling on them to “fight fascism.”
“They have clearly decided they want a rematch of the Civil War,” Mayor Johnson stated.
According to DHS, assaults on ICE agents are up more than 1,000 percent this year, including in the Chicago area, where left-wing domestic terrorists have targeted federal law enforcement in multiple ambushes and vehicular ramming attacks.
DHS posted the following warning on X, Sunday:
THREATEN OUR AGENTS AND YOU WILL PAY THE PRICE.
DHS will NOT be deterred by radical forces seeking to tear down our great nation. We will stand firm against anarchy, terrorism, and the violent criminals waging war in our cities.
This is our promise."
As of October 13, federal agents with Operation Midway Blitz had managed to apprehend more than 1,500 illegal aliens across Illinois, despite the attacks.
Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.) called on the Department of Justice to investigate Puentes’ “criminal threat.”
“Sickening. A staff member at Wilbur Wright College is calling for ICE agents to get “shot” and “wiped out,” Miller posted on X,” Monday. This is a criminal threat that should be investigated. Cc: @TheJusticeDept.”
A referral has reportedly been made to the Justice Department.
Update:
The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement on X Monday afternoon confirming that Puentes is under investigation.
“During the Chicago NO KINGS rally this previous weekend, violent rioters called for the cold-blooded murder of ICE agents,” DHS stated. “This rioter, and his statements have been referred to the DOJ.”
DHS added: “There is no place in America for psychotic incitements of unlawful violence against ICE or CBP. To those who threaten violence against us: we will hunt you down, we will find you, and Justice will be served.”

Paul Harvey would say “he would want us to mention his name... (pause) ... Page Two!”
As one who has had cataracts in both eyes recently removed, I completely understand. Those surgeries have been life changing. I still avoid driving at night.
Caffeine isn’t for everyone.
Agree!
That’s the truth.
