Democrat State Representative Corey Paris of Connecticut issued a cautionary message to his constituents on Friday, alerting them to potential Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations within his jurisdiction.
Paris, who serves the 145th District encompassing Stamford's Waterside and West Side neighborhoods, communicated his concerns via Instagram. "This morning, I was made aware of multiple reports of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity within our district. While we are still working to verify the full scope of these reports, I urge all residents to remain vigilant, stay aware of your surroundings, and, above all, prioritize your safety," he stated.
As reported by The Post Millennial, ICE agents are currently contending with a staggering 1,000 percent surge in assaults as they execute immigration enforcement tasks nationwide. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, highlighted the challenges faced by ICE agents, remarking, "Our brave ICE law enforcement are now facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them as they risk their lives to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. These acts of violence are fueled by sanctuary politicians' rhetoric vilifying our law enforcement."
Paris urged his community to remain informed and supportive, advising, "Please look out for one another, check in with neighbors who may be concerned, and seek out trusted legal and community resources if needed. If you have information about ICE activity, share it with local advocacy organizations who can respond quickly and appropriately. Our community is strongest when we remain informed, united, and committed to protecting the dignity and safety of all who call it home."
Despite the rising threats, Secretary Noem affirmed the resilience of ICE agents, stating, "We will not and have not let this violence stop us or slow us down. Everyday our law enforcement continues to enforce the law and arrest the most depraved criminals including pedophiles, terrorists, murderers, gang members, and sexual predators." This underscores the ongoing commitment to uphold law and order, even amidst adversity.
