A speaker at a “No Kings” rally in Chicago was recorded urging attendees to kill federal immigration agents, prompting calls for an investigation into the remarks. The incident occurred during a protest organized by the group, with the speaker’s inflammatory statements circulating widely on social media.
The unidentified individual, described as a City Colleges of Chicago staff member, declared during the event: “These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out.” The comment was met with applause from some attendees, according to footage shared online. Illinois Rep. Mary Miller condemned the remarks, calling them “sickening” and demanding accountability for the speaker’s threats.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) stated it is monitoring “targeted assaults against law enforcement” and will pursue legal action against those responsible. The statement came amid a surge in attacks on immigration officials, including a recent sniper incident in Texas and reports of individuals offering bounties for ICE agent deaths on platforms like TikTok.
No further details about the speaker’s identity or affiliation with the college were provided in the available information.
