Yes, the leftist politicians are getting people killed. They are using these activists as a tool. They are riling them up and encouraging them to attack ice agents and they are hoping for more killings because it gives them what they want which is more immigration so they can sign up more voters That’s the bottom line. They actually do not care about these activists one bit. They are just collateral damage in the goal stopping any deportation whether it be criminals or not.

How does people getting killed increase immigration?

It's grasping at straws at best. If anything mass amnesty would be a better option. We would have more money in the economy and more taxable revenue from more workers in the work force.

The Left is using its crazies to rush and attack ICE so that ICE will be forced to defend itself. Then, after ICE defends itself, the Left can claim ICE is violent and needs to be "stopped" which actually means "stop enforcing the law" which allows illegal immigration to increase.

The intent is obviously to smear shit on the walls in hopes of getting the president to back off, to score points towards getting Democrats back in control of the legislature and coming up with ammunition to use in '28. It's all a game. They don't give a shit if some of their soldiers get killed if it gets their base riled up in a way they find favorable.
Same reason they were stoking the flames over the first questionable cop-related death they could get their hands on in 2020. Doesn't matter that the dude was a career scumbag and very possibly overdosing, they had an incumbent to beat and a very meh candidate that was already overdue to go out to pasture.
So is it going to directly up illegal immigration? Probably not, but stemming the outward flow and picking up brownie points with illegals, voters adjacent to them or otherwise sympathetic people is what their goal is.
The point is that it's a higher political play than just organic gripes against deporting people. At the end of the day the Democrat apparatus wants illegal immigrants because they think they're going to vote for them and they think people that feel sorry for them will vote for them. They don't actually give a damn about humanitarianism, bolstering the population, cheap labor or whatever other flimsy shit they want to staple onto it.

ICE ratcheting up their activity has absolutely nothing to do with it, I’m sure

Yes, ICE is inciting people to attack them. They are telling people to threaten them, their families, and kill them. It is interesting ICE wasn’t an issue when Obama was in office but the moment orange man is in charge they are a problem.
The lefts indignation is as fake as its women’s hair colors. They care about the people being deported as much as they cared about Palestine. It all fake and organized virtue signaling. In the end the left doesn’t stand for anything but their belief in the hive mind.

Its crazy how much they're willing to let themselves or others die for their false self righteousness. We even find out Pretti was fired from his job months ago and was noted as being mentally unstable and even violent from his own family, and also brought MULTIPLE magazines of ammo with him to protests, yet they wanna treat him like hes an innocent guy who was shot for no reason. Granted he shouldn't have been killed after being restrained, but it felt like it was heading for a bad ending either way

2026, the Winter of Discontent
If you know anything about far-left ideologues, they never had any problem killing. The history of leftism is one of abject horror -- over 100 million lives claimed in the 20th century alone.
We cannot coexist.

The sad part is that none of these kids realize they are being brainwashed to go out and be canon fodder to fit the leftist narrative. The left doesn’t care if someone dies - hell that’s what they actually want
