GAME OVER / ICE OFFICER RAISES AMERICAN FLAG AT BUILDING RIOTERS TARGETED

A patriotic ICE officer raised an American flag at a facility rioters targeted over the Fourth of July.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Tuesday that a federal officer raised a new American flag after protesters burned the previous one at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s facility in Portland, Oregon on the Fourth of July.

“On Independence Day, violent rioters targeted ICE’s facility in the South Portland area,” DHS wrote in a statement to Fox News. “They assaulted law enforcement, vandalized federal property, and burned an American flag.”

Officials said the rioters cut internet cables to the federal facility, broke the sprinkler system and threw rocks and fireworks at law enforcement officers.

Amid the violence, rioters burned an American flag.

Officials said an ICE officer later patriotically raised a new flag in its place.

“This is the type of unwavering patriotism and love of America that our law enforcement officers display on the job day-in and day-out,” according to the statement.

Instead of being thanked for their heroic work, DHS said its agents are facing a nearly 700% increase in assaults against them.

“Threats or acts of violence against law enforcement will NOT be tolerated,” according to the statement. “Secretary [Kristi] Noem has made it clear: If you threaten or attempt to harm a law enforcement officer, we will find you and prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”
