U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shared a series of posts on December 18, 2025, detailing recent enforcement actions and emphasizing the agency’s mission.
In one post, ICE stated: "Illegal alien Alexander Garcia-Vargas endangered drivers, rammed our vehicle & injured an officer trying to evade his 2022 removal order.
This is why we enforce US immigration law. We won’t let illegal aliens with no respect for our laws continue to endanger American lives." (December 18, 2025)
Another post from the same day focused on recruitment and the agency’s purpose: "ICE was born on a mission: Defending the Homeland.
Will you answer the call to serve?" (December 18, 2025)

Our officers saw open" (December 18, 2025)
ICE is responsible for enforcing federal laws governing border control, customs, trade, and immigration in the United States. The agency frequently highlights incidents involving individuals subject to removal orders as part of its communication strategy. These public statements often aim both to inform about specific enforcement actions and encourage recruitment efforts.
