Penn State police are investigating a flyer on the University Park campus that depicts a hanging ICE agent with the message, "Dead ICE agents can't kill." The university condemned the image, though FIRE noted it falls under protected free speech.

The flyer has ignited a political clash between the Penn State College Republicans and Democrats. Republicans accused a Democratic member of sharing the image and demanded condemnation of its violent rhetoric, which they say crosses into criminal threat territory.

The incident reflects rising campus tensions around federal immigration enforcement. Republicans called for accountability, citing real-world violence risks. The flyer’s spread on social media, including by right-wing influencers, adds pressure on university officials to respond decisively.

The situation remains under investigation. It raises ongoing questions about free speech limits and safety on public university campuses amid heightened national political divisions.
