U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is revealing bounties of up to $10,000 have been put on the heads of federal agents, encouraging Americans to murder officers enforcing U.S. immigration laws.
“Gangs, cartel members, and known terrorist organizations have placed bounties on the heads of several of our law enforcement officers,” Noem posted Sunday on X.
“These violent riots are not about free speech. This is the rule of law vs. anarchy. We will win.”
U.S. cities including Portland, Oregon, and Chicago have been the scene of increasing attacks against ICE officers in recent days, and during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Sunday morning, Noem detailed the bounties that urge Americans to kidnap or kill the federal officers.
“Our intelligence indicates that these people are organized,” Noem said.
“They’re getting more and more people on their team as far as attacking officers and they’re making plans to ambush them and to kill them.”

“We have specific officers and agents that have bounties that have been put out on their heads. It’s been $2,000 to kidnap them, $10,000 to kill them. They’ve released their pictures. They’ve sent them between their networks and it’s an extremely dangerous situation and unprecedented.”
Noem said “protective detail” has been placed around the targeted officers, and DHS has “changed some of our operations to keep our officers safe.”
“But make no mistake,” she added. “This isn’t just about protesting free speech or that they don’t like that people out here are upholding the law of our country.
“They’re actually going out there and saying, ‘Kill these people, and we’ll give you this much money to do it.'”
