Lindsey Graham has called the treatment of ICE officers "unconscionable"

"From a Republican point of view, the cops need us right now. They are being demonized. They're being spat upon. They can't sleep at night," Graham said.

Graham was a staunch defender of ICE, championing the Secure America Act of 2026 and other legislation to boost the agency's funding and penalize sanctuary cities.

On X, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham labeled Good's actions an "assault" and said she "tried to run (the ICE agent) over."

A video showed the officer leaving the scene on foot.

In 2018, when Trump’s nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, faced accusations of sexual misconduct, Graham helped turn the tide with an impassioned defense of the federal judge.

“Boy, y’all want power. Boy, I hope you never get it,” Graham said, accusing Democrats of setting up Kavanaugh and breaking trust in the nomination process. “I hope the American people can see through this sham.”

When Graham clinched the South Carolina Republican primary last month, he suggested the president was just short of a deity.

“I want to start with a bunch of thank yous. I want to thank the big guy, God. Trump comes later,” Graham laughed. “Mr. President, you’re not far behind God, but we’re gonna start with him.”

I'm so old I remember his moral indignation about Clinton's tryst with a consenting adult. Amazing how pliable his values were. based on Party affiliation.
