A shocking display of anti-law enforcement extremism has once again reared its head at one of America’s largest public universities — and this time, even partisan rivals are standing shoulder to shoulder in condemnation.

At Pennsylvania State University, students were stunned after a second vile flyer surfaced near the bustling HUB-Robeson Center — the heart of campus life. The poster carried the grotesque slogan, “Dead ICE agents can’t kill,” alongside imagery depicting a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer hanging from a noose.

The disturbing material was discovered Saturday by a member of the Penn State College Republicans. But instead of descending into partisan finger-pointing, both the College Republicans and College Democrats released a rare joint statement forcefully condemning the message.

Under the banner, “PSU College Republicans and Democrats Condemn Continued ICE Death Threats on Campus,” the groups made clear that this wasn’t politics as usual.

“Earlier today, a member of the Penn State College Republicans discovered a second ‘Dead ICE Agents Can’t Kill’ flyer placed near the HUB-Robeson Center, which serves as a central part of daily life for students at Penn State,” the statement read.

This wasn’t an isolated incident. An identical flyer had already been found in late January, raising serious questions about whether a coordinated effort is underway to intimidate federal officers and normalize violent rhetoric.

“It is deeply disturbing to consider that students on our campus would put up these messages and condone this violent rhetoric,” the joint statement continued. “As both the Penn State College Republicans and the Penn State College Democrats have previously stated, this kind of dangerous and reckless rhetoric calling for violence against our federal law enforcement officers, civil servants, or any of our fellow Americans is nothing short of unacceptable in today’s America.”

That’s a line every American — regardless of party — should be able to agree on.

The student leaders emphasized that backing the badge should never be a partisan issue. “We must reiterate that this issue is not about partisanship or the pursuit of political wins; it is about protecting our law enforcement officers, fostering a more stable and constructive political environment, and ensuring that students at Penn State and across the nation feel safe expressing their views and opinions productively, without fear of retaliation.”

In other words: debate policy all you want — but threats of violence cross a bright red line.

The timing of these threats is particularly alarming. Hostility toward ICE agents has escalated in the wake of two high-profile Minneapolis incidents. On January 7, Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent after allegedly attempting to ram an officer with her vehicle and refusing to exit it. Weeks later, on January 24, Alex Pretti was shot in Minneapolis. These cases ignited protests and online fury — but fury does not justify incitement.

Meanwhile, the data paints a chilling picture. According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, assaults on enforcement officers have skyrocketed. In January alone, the agency reported a more than 1,300% increase in assaults, a staggering 3,200% spike in vehicle attacks, and an eye-popping 8,000% rise in death threats.

The Department of Homeland Security added in February that enforcement officers had endured 182 vehicle attacks since President Donald Trump took office.

Those numbers are not abstract statistics. They represent real men and women targeted for doing their jobs enforcing the nation’s immigration laws — laws passed by Congress and upheld by successive administrations.

As for accountability on campus? University officials say they’re investigating. Last month, university spokesperson Colleen Mastony confirmed that the first flyer prompted a probe by campus authorities.

“Penn State condemns this and any calls for violence or attempts to frighten or intimidate. We are aware of this image circulating online, and University Police and Public Safety is investigating,” Mastony told the Centre Daily Times.
