Protester At Chicago “No Kings” Rally Calls For ICE Agents To Be “Shot And Wiped Out”
A protester at a “No Kings” protest in Chicago, Illinois, on Saturday called on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to be “shot and wiped out.”
In a video taken by GrayStak’s Christopher Sweat, the activist called on supporters to “grab a gun” and kill ICE agents who he claimed were part of a “fascist system.” The man made these disturbing remarks while standing in front a Progressive Labor Party sign.
“You gotta grab a gun, we gotta turn around the guns on this fascist system,” the man shouted. “These ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out. The same machinery that’s on full display right there has to get wiped out!”

Assaults against ICE agents have surged 1000% since Trump reentered office and began his crackdown on illegal immigration, according to the Department of Homeland Security. In September, three women were indicted by a federal grand jury for live-streaming their trip to an ICE agent’s home and then posting the video on Instagram, while the spouse of another ICE officer received a call saying, “I don’t know how you let your husband work for ICE, and you sleep at night. F*** you, f*** your family,” according to a DHS press release.
Organizers of the “No Kings” protests said that 7 million Americans turned out for the 2,700 protests throughout major U.S. cities in order to reject so-called “authoritarianism” and “affirm” that the country does not belong to a king, according to the “No Kings” website. The organization declared that the U.S. “will not be ruled by fear, force, or one man’s power grab.”
Several protesters have called for violence and wished death on administration officials. A protester in Seattle, Washington, told a reporter that he wanted to kill White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller because he is supposedly a Nazi. A woman at a separate protest in Portland, Maine, said that reading Trump’s obituary would be a wonderful birthday present.
Another protester in Chicago, Illinois, seemingly made a “neck shot” gesture at counter-protesters who unveiled a flag honoring Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
