The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a stern warning on September 27th, 2025, at approximately 2:38 PM UTC, stating that any individual who threatens, assaults, or physically harms U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) law enforcement officers will face prosecution. The warning, posted on the DHS official X account (@DHSgov) at 2:38 PM UTC, explicitly stated that "any anti-ICE coward" who "doxes, threatens, assaults, or lays a hand on" ICE officers will "join these sickos in facing prosecution to the fullest extent of the law." The statement did not specify any recent incidents that prompted the warning, but it was released during a three-hour reporting window that began at 2:38 PM UTC on September 27th. The message was directed broadly at those perceived as being against ICE operations.
