Students find more violent imagery near University of Wisconsin campus after anti-ICE displays probed
Share and Follow

Recently, unsettling visuals have emerged near the University of Wisconsin-Madison, echoing similar displays that have been appearing on the campus for some time. These images, noted for their violent content, were first brought to light by two students from the university.

Among these provocative displays was a stark image with the phrase, “The only good fascist is a dead fascist,” captured by Aiden Wirth, a student who also contributes to The Madison Federalist, an independent student newspaper. It was this publication that initially reported on the images.

Ben Rothove, the editor-in-chief of the same newspaper, also documented several of these visuals. The imagery included signs bearing the aforementioned phrase, accompanied by graphic visuals, and were photographed around the campus in November 2025.

One particularly disturbing image was found hanging on a bicycle road sign. It depicted a fist striking a bloodied pig, alongside the contentious slogan. Another image, similarly displayed, featured a fist holding a smoking pistol pointed at the head of a figure wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood, with blood visibly erupting from the figure’s head. This chilling depiction carried the caption, “Speak their language.”

An image with the same message hanging on a bicycle road sign, which also depicted an image of a fist punching a bloodied pig, also recently appeared. Another image hanging on a bicycle road sign depicted a fist holding a smoking pistol to the head of someone in a Ku Klux Klan hood as blood squirts out of the figure’s head. The caption on that image reads, “Speak their language.”

The caption on a fourth image, which also featured a pig being punched in the face with blood coming from its nose and mouth, read: “Speak their language.”

“Speak their language” and “The only good fascist is a dead fascist” were scrawled on a fifth image, while a person depicted wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood has blood pouring out of the head.

A week ago, campus police confirmed for Fox News Digital that they were investigating imagery showing an ICE agent being shot in the head. That image was also accompanied by text that said, “The only good fascist is a dead fascist.”

Before that, an image of an ICE agent being shot in the head said, “Speak their language,” and below that, “You can’t vote away fascism.”

Campus police also confirmed they were investigating that image.

“UW-Madison condemns violence of all kinds,” school spokesperson John Lucas told Fox News Digital on Nov. 13, after the first incident. The school said the same after the second incident.

“As we’ve said previously, UW-Madison continues to condemn violence of all kinds,” Lucas told Fox News Digital. “If a student is in need of support of any kind, they are encouraged to reach out and meet with our Office of Student Assistance and Support. If stickers are found on campus by individuals, they can be reported to UWPD to be investigated and removed.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the city of Madison.
