An anti-ICE agitator is facing federal charges after allegedly threatening to kill a U.S. Border Patrol agent during a protest at an Illinois facility over the weekend. 

A crowd gathered outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, on Saturday to protest immigration enforcement operations in the area, federal prosecutors said. 

According to the criminal complaint, Paul Ivery approached an agent outside the facility said words to the effect of, “I’ll f***ing kill you right now,” and, “Do something.” Ivery then fled from Border Patrol agents and, at one point, pulled one agent’s helmet, authorities said.

He then allegedly ran away from agents and jumped on top of an occupied civilian vehicle on the street, which resulted in damage to the car.

Ivery is one of at least four people facing federal criminal charges stemming from the protests in Broadview.

The others are Jocelyne Robledo, Ray Collins, and Hubert Mazur. Both Collins and Robledo allegedly had loaded guns on them at the time, authorities said. 

The Trump administration has vowed to criminally prosecute those who act violently toward immigration authorities. 

On Saturday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said that America has entered a “new era of political violence,” amid a rise in attacks and threats against federal officers.

“Assassins have tried to murder President [Donald] Trump twice and tried to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh,” Bondi said in a post on X. “In Minnesota, legislators, and even children attending Mass, were gunned down in cold blood in two separate incidents, and an assassin targeted and murdered our friend Charlie Kirk. A sniper shot three people at a Texas ICE facility, and now more than 200 violent rioters were at a Chicago ICE facility, chanting, ‘Arrest ICE, shoot ICE.’ At least one had a gun.”

She noted if protesters “so much as touch one of our federal officers,” they will be sent to prison.

“We’ve seen this before. We saw it in Portland and with the LA riots. These are not peaceful protests. These are coordinated attacks by radical extremists, and they end now,” Bondi said. 

“Anyone who threatens or assaults our federal officers will be arrested and charged federally, not in some liberal state court,” she added. “Same goes for anyone who’s funding and aiding these extremists. You will be dismantled brick by brick. We are taking our country back. Make America safe again.”

Bondi’s remarks came a day after she announced that Justice Department agents will be deployed to ICE facilities nationwide.
