Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis says she’s ready to take on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
During a shocking (and disturbing) interview Thursday, the scandal-plagued DA said that she’s prepared to get into a shootout ICE agents if they entered her house.
Willis said on the podcast “The Jamal Bryant Podcast ‘Let’s Be Clear” that she was shocked about a lack of “very violent incidents” between citizens and ICE and indicated there might be a shootout if agents entered her home “guns ablaze” in an effort to snatch somebody.
Her comments come on the heels of the January fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minnesota where ICE agents have come under fire and intense scrutiny for their actions.
“I’ve been very amazed that we have gotten this far and there has not been an incident with not even local law enforcement, but with communities that ICE is going to get … one reason I’m surprised is because sometime the identifying clothing or paraphernalia of the person is not one where you can readily tell that it is a law enforcement person,” Willis said.
“And if somebody came in my house, guns ablaze, trying to grab anyone out, it might end badly for everybody.”
“So I’ve been really, really surprised that we haven’t had an incident already. And I’m talking about very violent incidents,” she continued.
“I do not know that it will be law enforcement coming to a clash. But if you ask me the broader question is, do I think that something is going to go very badly before this behavior stops? I do.”

Willis’ comments also come on the heels of other left-leaning rhetoric directed at ICE agents.
Democratic New York Rep. Jerry Nadler recently said that ICE agents were “goons” that people were “justified” to shoot during a rant at a Feb. 3 hearing.
“[W]hat is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets. The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums,” Nadler said.
“If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped, you’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself, but we see people being shot for what? For driving a car.”
Border czar Tom Homan announced yesterday that the massive immigration crackdown that swept across the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and other Minnesota communities has been shut down.
Operation Metro Surge, which started in December, resulted in more than 4,000 arrests, Homan told reporters Thursday morning, declaring it a success.
“The surge is leaving Minnesota safer,” he said. “I’ll say it again: It’s less of a sanctuary state for criminals.”
However, Homan has continued to highlight the dangers that ICE agents face.
Homan recently told reporters that assaults against ICE agents were surging and “doxxing” had reached “an all-time high” last May.
Attacks on ICE agents had skyrocketed by 1,300%, according to a Jan. 8 release by the Department of Homeland Security, with vehicular assaults up 3,200% and death threats up 8,000%.
