Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) condemned viral social media videos and activist actions encouraging illegal aliens to resist law enforcement, stating such content undermines public safety and the safety of officers and those being apprehended. The statement was confirmed by an ICE official on September 12th, 2025, during the reporting window. An official from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that a deceased suspect struck an officer and dragged him while attempting to flee. This statement follows earlier reporting from Representative Nancy Mace regarding the shooter's identity, which law enforcement officials indicated they were still working to determine. The Department of War (DOW) also affirmed a zero-tolerance policy for military personnel and DOW civilians who celebrate or mock the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The DOW's statement, released via its official X account around 2:17 PM UTC on September 12th, 2025, emphasized strict adherence to conduct standards regarding sensitive events. Separately, a social media post on X from the account "porqueTTarg" on September 12th, 2025, highlighted what it described as "the strange accent of the deportees that the United States brought to Argentina."
