A brazen arsonist struck an Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Yakima, Washington, over the weekend, leaving behind a trail of fire damage and shattered glass.

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin confirmed Monday that an unidentified suspect hurled a rock through a window before igniting a blaze at the rear of the building on Saturday.

Graphic photos, captured by journalist Nick Sortor reveal a charred back lawn and a broken window, stark evidence of the attack.

ICE has arrested at least 817 individuals in Washington state during 2025, with a dramatic spike to 275 arrests in June alone—more than double the monthly totals from January through May, which ranged between 84 and 137, local CBS affiliate KREM2 reports.

Nationwide, ICE held approximately 56,945 people in custody by late July, a 15,000-person increase since January, with 71.1% lacking criminal convictions, according to federal data.

Deportations also rose, averaging 84 more removals daily in July than in June.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, fired off a letter in April to Washington's Democrat Attorney General Nick Brown, demanding answers about the state’s sanctuary policies.

Jordan accused the state of obstructing federal immigration enforcement, potentially costing at least one citizen’s life.

"As just one example, in a transcribed interview with the Committee last Congress, a former ICE official in Washington state confirmed that at least one murder may have been prevented if local law enforcement had chosen to cooperate with ICE," he wrote.

The GOP lawmaker further charged that Washington’s policies "target local law enforcement officials for complying with federal law."

McLaughlin emphasized that the Yakima building bears clear signage identifying it as a DHS office, though she could not confirm if ICE officials were the intended targets.

No injuries occurred, and local police are investigating the incident as arson.

However, the attack underscores a broader crisis. McLaughlin reported an 830% surge in assaults on ICE personnel since the Trump administration launched its mass deportation campaign.

She unleashed a scathing critique of Democratic leaders.

"Make no mistake, Democrat politicians like [House Minority Leader] Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor [Michelle] Wu of Boston, [Minnesota Gov.] Tim Walz, and Mayor [Karen] Bass of Los Angeles are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and demonization of ICE," McLaughlin told the New York Post Monday.

"From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi Gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is beyond the pale," she concluded. "Secretary [Kristi] Noem has been clear: Anyone who seeks to harm law enforcement officers will be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

The unrest extends beyond Yakima. In June, rioters in Los Angeles pelted federal officers with concrete blocks and torched Waymo autonomous cars during a rampage triggered by a deportation raid at a Home Depot.

President Trump responded by deploying 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to quell the violence.

Additionally, safety concerns over increased ICE raids led to the cancellation of two major cultural events: the THING NW Festival 2025’s August 16 Latino musical performance and the Pacific Northwest Folklórico Festival.

Folks, this is what happens when weak leaders let chaos reign. But for now, the Trump adminstration is cracking down hard on illegal immigration, and the lawless are fighting back.
