Rep. Chip Roy Statement Condemning Attacks on San Antonio ICE Offices

WASHINGTON--Rep. Chip Roy released the following statement Monday regarding attacks on multiple Immigration and Customs Enforcement Offices in San Antonio:

The targeted attack on ICE offices in San Antonio is deeply disturbing. I am glad to see the FBI has launched an investigation into the shooting which took place early this morning across the street from my district office. While I am relieved that no one was injured, we must make clear that these continued violent attacks on law enforcement will not be tolerated.

This appears to be the latest in a series of targeted assaults on the men and women of ICE and we stand shoulder to shoulder with them, CBP, and all our federal, state, & local law enforcement. Any incitement of violence against them is unacceptable and has no place in San Antonio or anywhere else in this nation.

We pray for the safety of all our law enforcement officials, for the swift prosecution of the perpetrators, and for common sense and civil society to prevail. Those who attempt to thwart the rule of law and subvert our political processes through violence should never be allowed to succeed in their objectives. ICE and CBP should not be deterred in their efforts to secure the border or enforce the immigration laws of this country.
