President Donald J. Trump said that he’s granted federal immigration and law enforcement agents “total authorization” to protect themselves against increasingly confrontational protesters.
In a Friday post to Truth Social, the president reacted to reports of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in their vehicles being pelted with rocks, bricks and debris during clashes with leftists as they carried out an enforcement operation at a California marijuana farm.
This is attempted murder.
These are no longer just protesters.

“I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle,” Trump began. “Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles.”
“I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER,” he continued. “Therefore, I am directing Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, and Border Czar, Tom Homan, to instruct all ICE, Homeland Security, or any other Law Enforcement Officer who is on the receiving end of thrown rocks, bricks, or any other form of assault, to stop their car, and arrest these SLIMEBALLS, using whatever means is necessary to do so.”
BREAKING: President Trump directs DHS and ICE to IMMEDIATELY ARREST the rioters who have been seen throwing rocks and other objects at their vehicles.
ALL of them need to be behind bars. It could take somebody out.

“I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public. I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again! AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION,” Trump concluded.
Trump’s lengthy post came as the president was returning to the nation’s capital from Texas, where he toured areas impacted by the catastrophic flooding that killed at least 120 people, including dozens of children, a tragedy that Democrats are blaming him for.
The incident at Glass House Farms in Ventura County has become the latest flashpoint in the militant left’s insurgency against the administration’s enforcement of federal immigration policies, with elected Democrats demonizing ICE and urging resistance.
It wasn’t only rocks and bricks thrown at government vehicles. One person appeared to fire a gun at officers.
FBI has issued a $50,000 award for information leading to the conviction of an Unknown Subject who appeared to fire a pistol at Federal Law Enforcement Officers near Camarillo. The shooting occurred on 7/10/25 at approximately 2:26pm on Laguna Rd between Wood Rd and Las Posas Rd.… pic.twitter.com/XG94sTQEVR

The angry rhetoric from Democrats has only emboldened the mobs that are mobilized to descend on sites where federal officers are conducting raids and executing warrants. Actions in California have been met with a particularly violent response, as seen during last month’s anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, where Mayor Karen Bass vocally sided with the leftist miscreants to protect criminal illegal aliens.
“Dangerous rhetoric from CA politicians is fueling assaults on federal agents enforcing immigration laws. Their reckless words implicitly encourage violence, escalating tensions. But we won’t back down. Our operations targeting criminal illegal immigrants will continue stronger than ever,” U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said in a Thursday X post.
