Anti-ICE agitator screams ‘I’ll kill your whole f- family’ day after Dem gov praises ‘peaceful protesting’

A day after Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill praised "lots of peaceful protesting" happening outside a New Jersey ICE facility this week, the Department of Justice announced it is searching for an agitator who threatened to kill a federal agent and his wife and children.

Sherrill responded to the threats by calling on "everyone — especially members of federal, state, and local government" — to "lower the temperature."

The anti-ICE agitator was caught on camera Wednesday night shouting to federal law enforcement , "I’ll kill your whole f------ family, your whole f------ is dead. Your children, your wife, all dead." The agitator added, "I have your face, motherf-----, you’re dead, dead."

Speaking with Fox News, U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said, "That’s a federal crime, and not only threatening the ICE officer but think about how disgusting this individual is, threatening his family and his children with death.

"What is this man doing? He’s just doing his job, standing there," he continued. "We see his face, and I promise you, we will find him, and when we find him, we will arrest him because it is a crime not only to threaten law enforcement but, not surprisingly, to threaten their family as well."

After days of confrontations between anti-ICE agitators and federal officials outside Newark’s Delaney Hall, Sherrill said before the incident that "over the last couple of days" there has been "a lot of peaceful protesting going on, which we're going to continue to support."

At the same time, Sherrill said, "What seems to really be inciting a lot of this are really the ICE agents.
