They\u2019re facing threats. People are going after their families just for enforcing the law. They have people that are trying to frustrate their core functions of law enforcement. That\u2019s not something that a typical police officer would have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. And so the environment that DHS and ICE is having to operate in is unlike anything we\u2019ve seen in recent times. There\u2019s massive hostility being directed at them, and not just in terms of, oh, you\u2019re protesting, but you\u2019re doing things that are putting their lives in danger. So it\u2019s a difficult assignment, and I just think you should have some sympathy for what they\u2019re having to deal with. Even if you want to insist on the accountability, which we should do as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/votekirwan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external noreferrer nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-760769 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/KIR25002-Web-Ad-3-e1760498324308.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to the recent killings of two people protesting aggressive immigration enforcement,\u00a0Ron DeSantis urges a nuanced&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134688,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64596,28,30,29,1877,56590,412,66023,3806],"class_list":["post-134687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-alex-pretti","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-ice","tag-renee-good","tag-ron-desantis","tag-the-ingraham-angle","tag-u-s-immigration-and-customs-enforcement"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
