The heroes who guard our borders face danger every day. But lately, the threat isn’t just from criminals trying to sneak in—it’s from Americans who have been fed a steady diet of anti-police rhetoric. Our border agents now need eyes in the back of their heads to stay safe.

When politicians and celebrities scream “Defund the Police” and call ICE agents villains, some people take those words to heart. The dangerous results are playing out across America. Our law enforcement officers are being targeted while simply doing their jobs to keep Americans safe.

The FBI has finally captured Benjamin Song, a 32-year-old suspect in the shocking July 4th attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Texas. Song was wanted for attempted murder of federal officers after a local police officer was shot in the neck during the incident.

But who is Benjamin Song? A deep dive into his social media reveals a disturbing transformation from college conservative to violent radical.

From ‘Fox News’:

A social media account that is believed to belong to anti-ICE Texas attack suspect Benjamin Song, 32, who was captured Tuesday evening, contains anti-Israel, anti-police and anti-Trump rhetoric, according to posts reviewed and verified by Fox News Digital.

Song was arrested by the FBI Dallas Field Office after the FBI offered a $25,000 reward for his capture regarding the attempted murder of federal officers and firearms crimes in an Independence Day riot at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.

Song’s online posts show a shocking level of hatred toward law enforcement, Israel, and former President Trump. In one post, he wrote, “ACAB because they are class traitors and white supremacist btw,” using the “All cops are bastards” acronym.

From College Republican to Violent Radical

What makes Song’s case even more troubling is his background. According to his LinkedIn profile, he once listed membership in College Republicans at the University of Texas at Arlington and contributed to a “Conservative Camp” blog. Somewhere along the way, he fell into radical leftist ideology.

Song appears to have connections to the Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club, a left-wing “anti-fascist” gun group. He also identified himself as a “proud member of the Black Lives Matter group ‘We Take The Streets'” in a GoFundMe campaign after a previous arrest.

The attack comes as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem reports that assaults on ICE agents have increased by a staggering 830% from last year.

“This new data reflects the violence against our law enforcement in cities across the country in the last few weeks. Politicians across the country, regardless of political stripe, must condemn this,” Noem stated Tuesday.

A Pattern of Leftist Violence

Song’s social media is filled with the same anti-police, anti-border security talking points pushed by radical Democrats. He called Israel an “apartheid colony” and compared Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to Hitler. He labeled police as “class traitors” who have “no other purpose” than to “keep the poor in line.”

Even more disturbing, investigators found evidence that Song may have been using his mother’s martial arts studio to conduct tactical training exercises. Videos posted online show self-defense training and other activities that may have prepared him for the attack.

“Our agents are never gonna be afraid. They know the job that they signed up for. But what they don’t appreciate, what we don’t want is targeting,” National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez told Fox News Digital.

Song is currently being held on a $15 million bond and faces additional charges including aggravated assault on a public servant, aiding terrorism, and engaging in organized criminal activity.

The Benjamin Song case shows the real-world danger of radical anti-police rhetoric. When politicians call ICE agents monsters and demand we “abolish police,” unstable people listen—and act. As attacks on our law enforcement skyrocket, Americans must reject this dangerous rhetoric before more officers end up in hospital beds—or worse.
