Quoted in The Washington Times about impact of extremist anti-ICE rhetoric

August 16, 2019 by Todd Bensman

Quoted in this Washington Times piece: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/aug/15/democrats-fuel-attacks-police-ice-incendiary-polit/
“Todd Bensman, senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, cautioned against blaming political disagreements and policy debates for acts of violence committed by unhinged activists, but said politicians cross a line when they start invoking Nazi Germany.

“If you speak of ICE detention camps as concentration camps, and you speak of ICE agents as Nazi, brown-shirted thugs, then there are people out there who will think, ‘I need to do something dramatic and violent to stop that,’” said Mr. Bensman. “That kind of speech strikes me as a form of incitement.”

A year before this summer’s attacks, he began warning of the potential for violence driven by extreme anti-ICE language, citing examples such as a cartoon on social media showing how to disembowel an agent with a knife.
