Another “Dead ICE Agents Can’t Kill” flyer was found at Penn State University, prompting the College Republicans and College Democrats to issue a joint statement of condemnation on Saturday.
Found by a member of the Penn State College Republicans, the flyer was hung near the HUB-Robeson Center, a central part of daily life for students at Penn State, according to the statement.
This is the second time that particular flyer has been put up on campus. In early February, Penn State police launched an investigation into the flyer when it first appeared, the Centre Daily Times reported.
The graphic black and white flyer states “Dead ICE Agents Can’t Kill” in capital letters above an image of an ICE agent hanging dead from a noose.

“It is deeply disturbing to consider that students on our campus would put up these messages and condone this violent rhetoric,” read the joint statement from the College Republicans and College Democrats at Penn State.
“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,” the statement added.
“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.”
When the first flyer was discovered in early February, the College Republicans had accused a member of the College Democrats of hanging it, but “the College Republicans in a separate social media post said they received word that the individual is no longer part of the College Democrats,” the Centre Daily Times reported at the time.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression told the newspaper the flyer is protected free speech: “As a public university, Penn State University may not investigate students or student groups merely because administrators or other students object to the views expressed by a poster.”
