ICE

A local TV news producer was roughly abducted by federal U.S. Border Patrol agents in traffic on Chicago's North Side Friday morning ... and the intense incident was caught on video recorded by bystanders.

In the clips, WGN news producer Debbie Brockman is seen being forced to the ground by two masked U.S. Border Patrol agents, who handcuff her as she cries out in apparent pain.

Face-down on the pavement with her hands held behind her back, she identifies herself and pleads to a pedestrian recording the incident, "I work for WGN. Let them know."

Immigration and Customs Administration agents may have to atone for their sins ... after one agent was caught on video shooting a reverend in the head with a pepper ball during an ICE protest -- but the feds say the footage doesn't show the full story.

The icy confrontation between federal agents and protesters went down at an ICE detention facility in Broadview, Illinois on September 19 ... but the video is only now making the rounds.

Watch the clip ... you can see Reverend David Black on the sidewalk, pleading with arms open toward three agents in combat gear standing on the roof ... The agents start firing pepper balls at the crowd during the demonstration -- one of many over the past weeks protesting the detention and deportation of undocumented immigrants.

Kristi Noem is now taking direct aim at Zach Bryan over his new song criticizing ICE raids ... calling the track "disrespectful" to the United States.

The Homeland Security Secretary told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson she's listened to the snippet of Bryan's song -- where he sings ICE has plans to "bust down your door" -- saying ... "I hope he understands how completely disrespectful that song is, not just to law enforcement but to this country."

She goes on to say ... "To every single individual that has stood up and fought for our freedoms. He just compromised it all by putting out a product such as that, that attacks individuals who are just trying to make our streets safe.”

Zach Bryan is now in the crosshairs of the Department of Homeland Security, sorta ... officials at the federal agency are clapping back at his critique of ICE in his latest song.

Tricia McLaughlin -- DHS Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs -- took aim at the Grammy-winning country star's music in response to Zach releasing a snippet of a new, untitled track on Instagram Friday, slamming Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.

McLaughlin tells TMZ ... "Stick to 'Pink Skies'" -- referring to Zach's famous tune about kids who return home to tell their parents they're proud of how they grew up.

Donald Trump has finally weighed in on the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show talent pick ... he was asked on the air last night about the choice of Bad Bunny as headliner, but he says he's never heard of him!

The commander-in-chief opined on the NFL's decision during an interview with Newsmax's Greg Kelly, complaining, "I've never heard of him. I don't know who he is."

Greg Kelly asked the prez about his thoughts on this "Bad Bunny Rabbit" ... considering the singer "hates ICE, he doesn't like you" ... Trump brushed off the Puerto Rican superstar, quickly moving on to his feelings about the NFL's new kickoff rule.

Zach Bryan's got plenty of his feelings out through music ... and it looks like his feelings about the ongoing ICE raids are coming out, too.

The country singer released a snippet of a new, untitled song on his Instagram account this past Friday, and he wrote a short message in his post's caption reading "the fading of the red white and blue."

And it only gets more intense from there ... because Bryan referred to the cops as "cocky motherf***ers" about halfway through the snippet.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will be deployed to Super Bowl LX ... the agency officially confirming to TMZ a threat made by a Trump advisor.

Here's the deal ... Corey Lewandowski recently made headlines when he blasted Bad Bunny being selected as the SB halftime performer ... and he told right-wing commentator Benny Johnson ICE would be deployed for the event.

In a statement to TMZ, the agency backed up CL, saying ... "There is no safe haven for violent criminal illegal aliens in the United States."

The NFL just announced Bad Bunny will perform at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show ... and now ICE is announcing their planned appearance -- well, according to Donald Trump’s former campaign manager.

Check out Corey Lewandowski's appearance on Benny Johnson’s "The Benny Show" -- he's confident the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will make their presence known at Super Bowl LX next year.

Corey, who worked on Trump's 2016 and 2024 presidential campaigns, even seems to offer a threatening message, warning ... "There is nowhere you can provide safe haven to people who are in this country illegally. Not the Super Bowl and nowhere else."

11:47 AM PT -- Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin tells TMZ, “Yesterday morning when making the arrest of an illegal alien from Peru at 26 Federal Plaza, officers were swarmed by agitators and members of the press, which obstructed operations."

She continues, "Officers repeatedly told the crowd of agitators and journalists to get back, move, and get out of the elevator. Rioters and sanctuary politicians who encourage individuals to interfere with arrests are actively creating hostile environments that put officers, detainees and the public in harm’s way."

McLaughlin adds, "For context: this ICE building in NYC has been the target of multiple threats including assaults on law enforcement by sanctuary politicians and activists, a bomb threat, and a threatening letter with a white suspicious powder. Following last week’s terrorist attack, we are particularly concerned with our officers' safety. Again, we are urging the media and politicians to stop fanning the flames of division and stop demonization of law enforcement.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents attacked 2 members of the media ... and one ended up on a stretcher.

The violence went down at a New York City immigration court Tuesday after several masked agents entered an elevator with 2 detainees ... when a photographer walked in the elevator -- a public elevator, to be clear -- and was physically forced out by the agents.

In the commotion, another agent -- not in the elevator -- rushed up and hurled another member of the media, who then bumped into another member -- think human dominoes. The third person went down hard ... agents offered no aid as the elevator doors closed.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent is in hot water after he was captured on video this week violently manhandling a woman inside a NYC courthouse.

The ICE agent, dressed in street clothes with a badge around his neck, is caught on camera speaking to a distraught woman in the hallway of the courthouse on Thursday. The woman appears to be asking for her husband to be released from ICE custody, but the agent repeatedly says "adios."

At some point, the agent becomes so frustrated he grabs her and shoves her against a wall, before pushing her to the ground. The woman appears to hit her head on the floor. It's unclear if she suffered any injuries.

Residents of Dallas, Texas, were left in shock after a gunman fired on an ICE facility on September 24, 2025.

When the dust settled, authorities named Joshua Jahn as the main suspect in the shooting. Multiple people were wounded and killed ... including the suspect.

Here's a look at the background of the suspected shooter and the clues surrounding the violent event at the ICE facility.

The Department of Homeland Security's Pokémon-themed video showcasing immigration arrests is going viral ... but the folks at Pokémon are not giving it their stamp of approval.

The clip shows federal law enforcement agents taking suspects into custody as the Pokémon theme song plays ... and the edit features scenes from the hit TV show ... but it sounds like the feds did this all on their own.

A rep for Pokémon Company International tells TMZ … "We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property."

1:25 PM PT -- DHS later announced a correction ... only one victim, a detainee, died, NBC 5 Dallas reports. The other two victims were listed in critical condition.

11:51 AM PT -- The suspect accused of opening fire at the ICE facility in Dallas has been identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, according to multiple law enforcement officials, Fox News reports.

10:20 AM PT -- DHS confirms 2 of the victims have died, and the third is listed in critical condition, according to The AP. All were detainees, DHS said.

8:40 AM PT -- During a press conference Texas senator Ted Cruz called for an end to political violence.

A gunman who shot up a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in Dallas Wednesday morning has been confirmed dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Kash Patel posted the alleged unspent bullet casings on X saying, "While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical [sic] motive behind this attack. One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE.”

Dallas police tell TMZ they received a call reporting an individual opened fire on the Texas facility around 6:40 AM ... and the preliminary investigation revealed 2 people were transported to the hospital with gunshot wounds, and 1 victim died at the scene.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said there were "multiple injuries and fatalities" ... which included detainees. No federal agents were injured.

10:57 AM PT -- DHS has since taken down the video.

Theo Von's support for Donald Trump might be waning ... he's pissed the administration used his face to promote Immigration Customs Enforcement deportation videos!

The popular podcaster specifically targeted Trump's Department of Homeland Security in his Tuesday night post on X, saying he never approved being included in the spot.

Theo also asked DHS to send him a check for using his likeness and to "please keep me out of your 'banger' deportation videos."

Hannah Einbinder's head-turning political Emmys speech struck a chord with the Department of Homeland Security ... which is now clapping back at her targeted remarks.

ICYMI ... during her acceptance speech for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, Einbinder wrapped it with "F*** ICE and free Palestine."

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin tells TMZ ... "How ugly — such demonization is inspiring violence against our ICE law enforcement who are facing a 1,000% increase in assaults against them."

Kim Kardashian doesn't understand the government's immigration policy, and she's actually doing the bidding of criminals ... according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin went after the reality star, telling TMZ ... "Ms. Kardashian is misinformed and detached from the very reality of the operations in Los Angeles she has decided to opine on. These are the violent criminals who Homeland Security, under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, have removed from Los Angeles’s streets: murderers, rapists, gang members and child pedophiles."

McLaughlin then asks ... "Why does Ms. Kardashian continue to do the bidding of criminals at the expense of innocent Americans and brave law enforcement?"
