Chuck Schumer brought an anti-ICE agitator to the State of the Union as his honored guest.
Someone at Penn State took that as a starting point.
What they posted on campus will make your blood run cold.
The Penn State ICE Death Threat Campus Police Could Not Stop
The flyer is black and white, and it shows an ICE officer hanging from a noose above four words in bold capital letters: "Dead ICE Agents Can't Kill."
That flyer appeared at Penn State in late January, taped to a pole outside the HUB-Robeson Center – the central hub of daily student life.
Penn State police launched an investigation.
Then last weekend, a Penn State College Republicans member found the exact same flyer posted near the same location.
Same image. Same words. Same spot. Five weeks later.
Both the Penn State College Republicans and College Democrats issued a rare joint statement, calling it "deeply disturbing that students on our campus would put up these messages and condone this violent rhetoric."
Republicans and Democrats agreeing on anything in 2026 tells you something about what this flyer actually looks like.
How Abolish ICE Rhetoric Turned a College Campus Into a Targeting Ground
This did not come from nowhere.
Penn State College Republicans president Tristin Kilgore told The Post Millennial that anti-ICE activity has been building all year – posters, protests, and outside agitators blending into student demonstrations near campus.
One campus group, the Student Committee for Defense and Solidarity, has been distributing flyers claiming "ICE agents kidnap students" and features a burning American flag on its social media pages.
In January, the first "Dead ICE Agents Can't Kill" flyer was traced to a student who shared it publicly on Instagram – someone who had been affiliated with the Penn State College Democrats and was subsequently removed from the club.
The flyers kept appearing anyway.
The pattern extends beyond Penn State.
Last fall, Georgetown University saw flyers from the "John Brown Club" – named after the violent abolitionist – bearing inscriptions referencing bullet casings associated with the alleged Charlie Kirk assassin.
Campus by campus, the Left is building a culture where federal law enforcement officers are not just opposed – they are marked.
ICE Agents Face 8000 Percent Increase in Death Threats While Democrats Shut Down DHS
While someone at Penn State glorifies killing ICE agents, here is what those agents are actually living through.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that ICE officers are now facing an 8,000 percent increase in death threats against them and their families, a 1,347 percent increase in assaults, and a 3,200 percent increase in vehicular attacks.
From January 20 through December 31, 2025, DHS reported 275 assaults on ICE officers compared to 19 during the same period the prior year.
ICE officers' family members have been doxxed, with bounties placed on their heads.
In Portland, a man threatened to mail an officer's severed head to his wife and was charged with federal crimes.
An illegal alien posted on TikTok in Spanish offering $10,000 per ICE agent killed in Dallas.
Someone in Houston hung effigies of ICE agents from mock gallows surrounded by coffins, barbed wire, and a Mexican flag.
This is a campaign to make federal law enforcement feel like targets in their own country.
And while it was happening, Senate Democrats shut down the entire Department of Homeland Security rather than fund the people enduring it.
When Democrats Honor ICE Protesters at the State of the Union This Is What Follows
The Penn State flyers did not appear in a vacuum.
They appeared after months of Democrat politicians comparing ICE to the Nazi Gestapo, the Soviet secret police, and slave patrols.
They appeared after Hakeem Jeffries called ICE agents "masked and lawless."
They appeared after Chuck Schumer seated an ICE obstructor in his guest box at the State of the Union, after Rep. Ilhan Omar brought four guests specifically chosen to undermine federal immigration enforcement, and after Rep. Jesus Garcia brought a woman DHS labeled a domestic terrorist for allegedly participating in an ambush of federal officers.
Former DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin named the mechanism directly: sanctuary politicians are driving this surge through their "repeated vilification and demonization" of ICE officers.
Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina put it plainly after the first Penn State flyer appeared: this is "the kind of depraved rhetoric that causes violence against our brave men and women in uniform daily."
The university is still investigating.
The flyer is back.
And every Democrat who spent the last six weeks calling ICE agents Nazis owns a piece of what that produces on a college campus.
