<p>Despite facing a massive surge in attacks and smears, federal immigration agents were busy making heroic rescues that saved lives in 2025.</p>
<p>Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers faced a 1,347% surge in assaults and an 8,000% increase in death threats this year as left-wing activists and Democratic politicians attacked them for their role in carrying out President Donald Trump&#8217;s mass deportation effort.</p>
<p>ICE officers employed their training in 2025 to not only make arrests, but also to provide aid as first responders when lives were on the line this year.</p>
<p>&#8220;We get the same training as everyone else, [to include] CPR and active shooter training,&#8221; an agency source told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told The Daily Wire that it&#8217;s part of a broader &#8220;responsibility&#8221; agents have to &#8220;serve&#8221; their communities.</p>
<p>“Every day, ERO [Enforcement and Removal Operations] officers show up knowing the risks they face — and they choose to serve anyway,” Lyons said in a statement shared with The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>“Courage is measured by actions, not words, and throughout the year, officers across the agency demonstrated professionalism, restraint and courage in moments that demanded all three,&#8221; Lyons said.</p>
<p>These are the top five stories of ICE&#8217;s heroism in 2025 that the agency shared with The Daily Wire.</p>
<h4>ICE Officers Save Victim From Burning Car</h4>
<p>ICE officers from Denver&#8217;s elite Special Response Team who were driving to an agency facility in Illinois in September spotted a near-deadly collision involving a semi-truck and three other cars. They quickly responded to save one of the victims, who they found unconscious, bloodied, and trapped in his burning vehicle.</p>

<p>The officers broke the car&#8217;s window and pulled the man to safety before his car became fully engulfed by the blaze. They then administered first aid as they waited for EMTs to arrive.</p>
<p>During the rescue, some of the officers suffered from smoke inhalation and lacerations.</p>
<h4>ICE Officer Aids Shooting Victim In Philadelphia</h4>
<p>An ICE deportation officer was out on a raid in Philadelphia in October when he heard multiple gunshots and spotted three kids fleeing.</p>
<p>The officer spotted the victim, who&#8217;d been shot in his left thigh, and assisted in applying a tourniquet to the wound.</p>
<h4>ICE Officer In Dallas Rescues Driver Of Overturned Truck</h4>
<p>When ICE officers in Dallas observed a pickup truck lose a tire, roll over seven times, and land upside down on April 26, they jumped into action.</p>
<p>The officers, alongside two bystanders, successfully pried open the truck to save the driver.</p>

<h4>ICE Officers Rescue Man In Vehicle</h4>
<p>ICE officers in Philadelphia rescued a driver who veered off the road before striking a tree on July 11. They also extinguished an engine fire while waiting for emergency responders to respond.</p>
<h4>Off-Duty ICE Officer Administers Lifesaving Aid To Wounded Man</h4>
<p>An off-duty ICE officer in Nuevo, California, helped a man who suffered a neck wound while instructing his son to call 911 in October. The officer used his own first-aid kit and training to control the bleeding and stabilize the man before emergency responders arrived.</p>
