Recently, disturbing imagery surfaced on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, depicting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent being shot. This violent portrayal, captured in a photograph late last week, has sparked concern among the university community.

The hand-drawn depiction was found attached to a post on campus. It featured a figure wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, with the word “ICE” emblazoned on the character’s shirt. The image carried a grim message: “The only good fascist is a dead one,” with red marks indicating blood flowing from the figure’s head.

This photograph was initially shared with The Madison Federalist, an independent student-run newspaper, bringing the controversial image to broader attention.

Fox News Digital obtained the image, showing it prominently displayed on campus during the week of November 10, 2025. They spoke with the student who took the photograph. The student, opting to remain anonymous, is a board member of the university’s Turning Point USA chapter.

Fox News Digital spoke with the student who photographed the image, who asked not to be named but is a board member of the school’s Turning Point USA chapter.

“It was in this area called Memorial Library, and my first reaction was, well, I’m in a university, so I wasn’t too surprised,” the student said. “I kind of felt disgusted, and I felt that it was a very harmful message to be sending to college kids, especially in a very, I guess, politically biased or politically charged university.”

The student said he took a photo of the image before he ripped it off the post.

“I just felt really disgusted, and I felt almost threatened because it kind of shows how, you know, violence against people who are considered right-wingers are kind of normalized in this campus,” the student said.

The student told Fox News Digital that the political bias extends to the classroom.

“I feel like a lot of the professors—not all of the professors, but a lot of the professors—they paint right-wingers or conservative Christians or nationalists in a very, very bad light,” he said. “And because of that, these types of rhetorics have almost become normalized even in my university classes.”

He said he has experienced professors “justifying what Stalin and Mao did,” and that violent rhetoric has become more normalized after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s September assassination.

“People celebrating [Kirk] dying wasn’t, like, an anomaly in this campus,” the student said. “So, I just think it’s an amalgamation of years and years of, I guess, normalization of this type of violence against the right.“

A similar image was discovered and photographed on campus earlier last week.

It was spotted by a student and subsequently posted on X by the Wisconsin College Republicans, shows a figure wearing a vest that says “ICE” being shot in the head. Blood pours out behind the agent’s head, creating a thought bubble.

“Speak their language,” the wording on the image says.

Below that, it says, “You can’t vote away fascism.”

Nick Jacobs, the chairman of the Wisconsin College Republicans and a student at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, also described an uptick in violent rhetoric since Kirk’s murder at Utah Valley University.

“I mean, it’s really bad,” he told Fox News Digital after the first graphic image was photographed last week. “It’s almost celebrated among students to write threatening things about college Republicans, about ICE agents, about Republicans.”

“At my school recently, we did a chalk memorial for Charlie Kirk, and leftists wrote what was on the bullet casing an hour after we did it,” he said.

Bullet casings recovered from alleged Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson were riddled with left-wing messaging, including the title of a popular Antifa song.

UW-Madison campus police confirmed that they are investigating both incidents.

The school did not return a request for comment.
