Acting snow director Todh Leone on Sunday convicted rhetoric from “elected officials” for an increase in attacks against immigration officials.
Leones commented during an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation”, which broadcast on Sunday, tying the increased violence to President Donald Trump’s political opponents.
He said, “I think the rapid growth in rhetoric, especially with a lot of elected officers who are shared, if you will, or speaking against the ICE Law Enforcement Mission, are really increasing these attacks on the authorities,” he said.
Leones said that attacks on authorities have increased by 830% compared to 2024.

He said that the spike in violence is also due to the more “scenes” in communities across the country as Trump’s exile campaign expands.
“Immigration Mission is at the forefront of this administration, so it has a lot of investigation and publicity,” Lyonss said.

The official also confirmed that the ICE was not limiting their arrest to illegal migrants who have been convicted of a separate crime. He said many illegal immigrants have been taken as “collateral arrests” without criminal records during operations targeting violent migrants.
Nevertheless, he said that snow “targets the worst worst.”
ICE officials have talked about the increased violence and criticism under the new administration.
Officer Christian Moreno told “My View” host Lara Trump on Fox News later this week, “It is very sad to see how we are making villains, the names we have used have been used.”
“Just doing it [interview] Now, I had to talk to my family about it and say, ‘Hey, this is something that I believe in, I think something is important for us that we take out our stories and tell the American public that we are human.’ We got a job to do. We are only implementing laws. We are not making laws, and it is sad, but we just keep moving forward through it, “he said.

He and officials Edgardo Centeno and Chris Sandowal shared their views at the risk of ice authorities of violence.
“We have to do our work. We have raised our hands to defend the constitution, and we are implementing the law, so we are adjusting because we see what is going on in our country, but it is hurting my heart, especially when you serve and come back in war and divide your country,” Seneno said.
