The Department of Homeland Security says one Washington D.C. official found a decapitated, burned animal carcass on their front porch, following the president’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy on immigration.
The agency says it is seeing an uptick in threats to employees, with two dozen reports of threats mainly to it’s Immigration and Custom Enforcement employees, in the past few days alone.
In a letter circulated department-wide over the weekend, the DHS cautioned there is a ‘heightened threat against DHS employees’ in response to the recent government actions against illegal immigration.
‘This assessment is based on specific and credible threats that have been levied against certain DHS employees and a sharp increase in the overall number of general threats against DHS employees,’ Claire Grady, acting deputy secretary of Homeland Security, wrote to employees on Saturday, according to ABC News.
It is unclear when the unidentified DHS employee in D.C. found the carcass on their porch.
The threats against DHS employees however have been mostly made online, with each member who has been targeted with violence specifically, being personally contacted by DHS security.
The targeted threats are mostly against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers specifically.
ABC News reports that it is unclear how much the threats have increased.
Protests erupted around the country in the past weeks, with calls for the Trump administration to end the separation of children from their families who have crossed the border illegally.
Trump enforced the zero tolerance policy in early May, since then around 2,300 children have been separated from their parents who are facing federal prosecution.
