A federal border official told Democrats to shut their mouths or there would be more bloodshed.
Two ICE shootings of civilians happened that week, in Houston and in Maine. On Fox News, Homan blamed Democratic critics’ “hateful rhetoric” for the deaths and said there would be “more bloodshed” unless they “shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws.”
The shootings were real and being angry about them isn't the issue. Conditioning further bloodshed on whether critics stay quiet is.
This is the official who runs the agency doing the shooting, telling the other party that speech causes deaths. That's a threat with a badge behind it.

"I said if the hateful rhetoric didn't stop, there would be bloodshed. And I'm saying it right now. There's still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted."
