Before police could respond, Jahn reportedly turned the gun on himself after targeting a van transporting detainees out of the building.
Investigators discovered shell casings at the scene with “ANTI-ICE” carved into them, leaving no doubt this was a politically charged act of violence.
While Democrats stayed silent, JD Vance went nuclear.
Speaking in Concord, North Carolina, he named names and didn’t hold back:
“Here is what happens when Democrats, like Gavin Newsom did, say that these people are part of an authoritarian government,” Vance declared, his voice rising with anger.
“When the left-wing media lies about what they’re doing, when they lie about who they’re arresting, when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement, what they’re doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence.”
Republicans have often played it safe—condemning violence while refusing to blame the people fueling it.
Not JD Vance.
“You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies,” Vance said firmly. “But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell and you have no place in the political conversation of the United States of America.”
Go straight to hell.
Those four words hit Democrats like a freight train.
Instead of condemning the attack, Democrats rushed to Twitter with snarky comebacks.
Gavin Newsom fired off this response:
“No thanks, JD. I will not be going ‘straight to hell’ today. Though when I watch you speak I certainly feel like I’m already there.”
One person dead, two fighting for their lives—and that’s the best Democrats could offer?
Vance went further, hammering home the point:
“If you want to stop political violence, stop attacking our law enforcement as the Gestapo. If you want to stop political violence, stop telling your supporters that everybody who disagrees with you is a Nazi. If you want to stop political violence, look in the mirror.”
He’s right.
The Department of Homeland Security reports attacks on ICE have skyrocketed over 1,000% since Trump took office. That’s no accident—it’s the direct result of years of Democrat leaders comparing ICE to Nazis and branding immigration enforcement as “authoritarian.”
“Look, just because we don’t support illegal aliens, we don’t want them to be executed by violent assassins engaged in political violence either,” Vance said. “So we’re praying both for our ICE agents, but also for everybody who’s affected by this terrible attack.”
That’s moral clarity—something Democrats haven’t shown in years.
JD Vance made it crystal clear: criticism of immigration policy is fine. Encouraging violence against law enforcement is not.
And Democrats can’t hide from that truth anymore.
