Twins Arrested For Threatening To Hang, Torture Trump DHS Spokeswoman
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrest of two New Jersey men Tuesday who allegedly threatened to torture and murder assistant secretary of Homeland Security for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin.
Authorities charged Ricardo Antonio Roman-Flores and Emilio Roman-Flores over posts on social media that declared their intentions to shoot United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on sight and to hang McLaughlin, according to a Tuesday release by DHS. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons vowed that threats against officials would not be tolerated.
“Let this be a warning to anyone who dares threaten or attack our brave law enforcement officers,” Lyons said in the release. “We will find you, we will arrest you, and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. We are NOT afraid of you. The extreme rhetoric of the news media, sanctuary politicians, and activists is leading directly to our law enforcement officers facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them. If you threaten our law enforcement or DHS officials, we will hunt you down and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

McLaughlin has been a vocal critic of anti-ICE rhetoric in multiple media appearances while in her position as the top spokesperson for DHS.
The Trump administration’s efforts to enforce immigration law have faced violent resistance at times. On Nov.29, rioters in New York City attempted to thwart an operation by ICE.
ICE facilities in Chicago and Portland, Oregon, have been the scene of multiple riots as opposition to the agency’s operations targeting illegal immigrants intensified. During ICE operations in Chicago, agents were reportedly attacked by multiple assailants who used cars to ram vehicles.
DHS said in a Sept. 26 post on X there had been multiple violent attacks on an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois. In Portland, Oregon, violent protesters reportedly attacked conservative journalists covering the riots at the ICE facility and also reportedly planned to use lasers against aircraft used by federal law enforcement agencies.
Two people were killed during a Sept. 24 shooting targeting an ICE facility in the Dallas area, when a gunman, who committed suicide, opened fire at the facility. In Texas, there were at least two previous incidents when shots were fired at ICE or Border Patrol facilities in July, with ten people being charged with attempted murder and conspiracy in connection with the incident in Alvarado, Texas.
McLaughlin did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

This is all caused by the Democrats and their vile and incendiary lies and defamatory rhetoric against Trump and ICE. Whether they like it or not, ICE is following Federal Immigration law (passed years ago by Republicans and Democrats in Congress) to legally deport illegal aliens. Not only are the Democrats and TDS liberals obviously for open borders but now are openly against deporting murderers, rapists and child sex traffickers. Where are all the “feminists” raging about the women being raped and murdered by illegals? And where are the Democrats crying for the 200,000 missing unaccompanied minor children; most of whom are likely being sex trafficked and turned into drug mules and prostitutes.
And apparently also millions of Democrats, prompted by the treasonous Democrat Governors and Mayors and Congressional members that are causing violence against ICE by encouraging “doxing” them and calling them fascists and Nazi’s and lying to say they “are disappearing people in the middle of the night”. These are the kind of hyperbolic and purposeful outright lies that have caused attacks against ICE to increase 8000% in the last year and they are going to get someone else killed. Just like their incendiary rhetoric caused two assassination attempts on President Trump and killed Charlie Kirk and a beautiful young female National Guard, and has left another Guardsman in critical condition.
They are the real “insurrectionists” inciting sedition and violence against a duly elected President, chosen by a majority of the people and a huge majority of electoral votes, to do exactly what he and his administration are doing. The Democrats and their minions are all disgusting, dangerous, anti-American, pro-illegal, pro criminal and a bane and scourge on civil society.
