Federal law enforcement bulletins have warned that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and facilities in Chicago are being targeted by an anarchist website.The Center for Internet Security issued an assessment that revealed at least four ICE facilities in Chicago have been surveilled, with detailed layouts, diagrams, and photos posted on an anarchist website. The site also published photos of ICE agents, including their names, faces, and badge numbers.

„There has been an increase in the attempt to gather and, you know, anonymously, share and gather information online and publish it even on websites publicly available about these activities,” explained Jason Perry, a cybersecurity professor at Lewis University, according to ABC7 Chicago. Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a separate intelligence bulletin advising ICE personnel of a rise in threats from domestic violent extremists.

This comes after an ICE facility in Texas was the subject of a shooting carried out by an anti-ICE gunman. ICE agents have reportedly been facing a more than 1,000 percent increase in assaults.

Chicago has recently seen several violent incidents targeting federal immigration authorities. Last week, border patrol officers were ambushed when individuals rammed their vehicles into federal agents. One of the suspects, identified as Marimar Martinez, was armed and had a history of doxxing federal agents.

On Monday, federal agents arrested a gang leader accused of offering bounties to capture and kill a senior immigration officer involved in “Operation Midway Blitz,” an ongoing immigration enforcement effort in Chicago.

The suspect, Juan Espinoza Martinez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico and member of the Chicago-based gang Latin Kings, allegedly placed a $10,000 bounty on Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino. In a leaked Snapchat conversation, Martinez was heard saying: “Two grand for information, ten grand if you catch him.”

Violence Mounts Against Those Opposing Illegal Migration

Those who openly speak out or act against illegal migration are also facing increasingly serious threats in Europe. Death threats have become almost commonplace, and in some cases migrants or their activist supporters have resorted to physical assaults. However, they rarely take responsibility for the consequences. Most recently, an Afghan migrant who threatened Nigel Farage, the anti-immigration leader of the Reform UK party, in a TikTok video, has refused to testify in court.

The 26-year-old, Fayaz Khan, posted the video in October last year, threatening the politician — a clip that Mr. Farage described as “quite chilling.” Khan was due to give evidence in court on Wednesday.

According to the prosecution, the threat to kill was “not some offhand remark,” while the video itself was “sinister and menacing.”

The migrant ultimately decided not to testify. His lawyer argued that he had merely been “protesting against Mr. Farage’s statements in his own peculiar, idiotic, comic, attention-seeking way,” and had not seriously intended to threaten murder. He posted his video in response to one of Mr. Farage’s clips in which he referred to “military-age young men” arriving in the country “about whom we know very little.”

Khan’s video, however, appears quite clear:

In the footage, the migrant says: “Englishman, Nigel Farage, don’t talk sh*t about me! You not know me. I come to England to marriage your sister,” before mimicking gunfire and showing off a tattoo of a weapon on his face.

At the hearing, another clip was shown which, according to GB News, also contained threats against Mr. Farage and bore the caption: “I mean what I say.”

The migrant continues to deny that he threatened to kill Mr. Farage.
