According to a report shared by Fox News on September 24, 2026, assaults against ICE officers rose by 1,649% during the first year and a half of the Trump administration. There were 647 assaults recorded between January 20, 2025, and September 20, 2026. Under the Biden administration, during the same period, that number sat at just 37. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin opened up about the situation, pointing the finger at those he described as spreading misinformation about the agency."The brave men and women of ICE, who are simply enforcing the laws mandated by Congress and protecting the American people, are under attack every single day. Since President Trump unleashed ICE to do their jobs, assaults against them have risen by more than 1,600% in the first year and a half of the administration," he shared.Mullin also had strong words for elected officials he held responsible for fueling the hostility directed at federal immigration officers."DHS is calling on these sanctuary politicians to stop attacking federal law enforcement, stop putting the needs of illegal aliens ahead of the safety of American citizens, and to start working with us to make America safe again," he added.Hayley Williams showed solidarity with artists who dropped out of Ed Sheeran's tour over the Macklemore controversy:Hayley Williams at the National Dance Institute's 49th Annual Gala - Source: GettyWilliams' support for the Palestinian cause extended beyond her own concerts.
