Former ICE Agent Tim Miller on Rising Vehicle Attacks Against DHS Agents

Surge in Vehicle Attacks Against DHS Agents

• ⚠️ DHS has reported 10 car-ramming attacks against agents in a recent 48-hour period, highlighting a significant increase in danger for law enforcement.
• 🎯 Former ICE special agent Tim Miller emphasizes that a 4,000 lb vehicle can be more lethal than a weapon, posing a deadly force issue for officers.

Law Enforcement Training and Response

• 🧠 Agents are trained to consider the law, facts, and reasonable force options within a two to three-second window when facing a vehicle threat.
• ⚖️ The Supreme Court case Graham v. Connor is cited, acknowledging the difficulty officers face in making split-second decisions regarding use of force.
• 🚨 Officers are trained that a vehicle posing a risk automatically constitutes a deadly force situation.

The Importance of Compliance

• ✅ Miller stresses that the simple fix to de-escalate dangerous encounters is for individuals to comply with lawful commands from law enforcement.
• 🚔 The actions of officers are a direct result of enforcing laws established by the will of the people, not personal aggression.

Organized Effort and National Threat

• 🚩 The rise in vehicle attacks is described not as isolated incidents but as an organized effort of terrorism aimed at undermining US government authority.
• 🌐 Information suggests international funding and components pointing to a coordinated threat to democracy in the United States.
• 🇺🇸 Miller asserts that complying with law enforcement respects the will of the American people who voted for the laws being enforced.
