Homeland Security Investigations has arrested a maniac in San Francisco who was so outraged about ICE enforcing immigration law that he sent a violent death threat to Acting Director Todd Lyons calling for agents to be summarily executed in the street.
“YOUR GESTAPO NAZI MAGGOT ICE AGENTS SHOULD BE TERRIFIED,” Daniel Barber’s unhinged June 6 email to Lyons read in part.
Daniel Barber sent an unhinged, violent message to ICE’s acting director Todd Lyons last June saying agents should be rounded up and killed in the streets. DHS “EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM DESERVES TO BE ARRESTED BY ARMED AMERICAN CITIZENS, FROGMARCHED INTO THE STREETS, SUMMARILY TRIED AND CONVICTED OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY THERE IN PUBLIC, AND SUBSEQUENTLY EXECUTED RIGHT THERE AS WELL WITH TWO F–KING BULLETS TO THE BACK OF THEIR MAGGOT NAZI HEADS!”
ICE launched an investigation into the email, identifying the author as Barber, who has a lengthy criminal history including a 1990 conviction for murder and robbery with the intent to cause bodily harm, and several arrests for burglary, battery and vehicle theft.
ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons is in the process of resigning his post after 20 years with the agency. Bloomberg via Getty Images HSI arrested him on April 10.
“Comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
“The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, they just want to go home to their families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.”
Barber’s threatening missive and subsequent arrest came at a time when threats and assaults on immigration agents have skyrocketed.
According to DHS, ICE agents are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults, an 8,000% increase in death threats and a more than 3,300% increase in vehicle attacks.
