Read the background and analysisThe context behind these posts+

Henzman has used emphatic public language against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including a direct call to abolish it. Her Facebook posts and protest participation show a clear political position against ICE. The record also shows that the LaPorte walkout was student-led and that one separate crowd sign is not identified as Henzman’s.

Angela Henzman posted that ICE was a “highly armed, secret police,” wrote that its agents were “NOT law enforcement officers,” and called for abolishing the agency. She also joined a student-led anti-ICE walkout in LaPorte.

Henzman’s public call to abolish ICE

Henzman posted on Facebook that ICE was “a highly armed, secret police” and wrote, “These are NOT law enforcement officers.” She called for the agency’s abolition. ICE describes itself as a federal law-enforcement agency with immigration-enforcement and criminal-investigation functions, making her post a pointed rejection of ICE’s role and legitimacy.

A categorical abolition demand

A Facebook screenshot labeled Angie Henzman and dated Jan. 10, with no year displayed, ends: “ICE must be abolished now!” The caption pairs that demand with her broader criticism of ICE.

Henzman joined the LaPorte walkout

The South Bend Tribune reported that Henzman joined a student-led anti-ICE walkout at LaPorte High School, carried a “De-Ice for Good” sign, and said, “We wanted to support them. They need to be able to have their right to speak up.” The report identifies the students as leading the protest, not Henzman. A separate crowd photograph includes a sign reading, “HEY, ICE! GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!” but does not identify its author or carrier.

Additional context

The January 10 and January 11 Facebook post dates do not display a year.

The crowd photograph does not identify the anti-ICE sign’s author or carrier.
