A violent anti-ICE agitator in New Jersey is grabbing headlines again, and not for anything admirable.

Brendan John Geier, a 26-year-old from Madison, faces federal assault charges after allegedly biting and kicking Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers during a protest outside Newark’s Delaney Hall detention center.

Prosecutors say the attack left officers with “horrific wounds,” according to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Authorities confirmed that Geier’s past is as disturbing as his recent actions.

The Justice Department revealed he had previously been charged in Pennsylvania with crimes related to child pornography after investigators tied online images to his college dorm.

That investigation began in 2018 after officials received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Detectives traced multiple illegal images to Geier’s IP address.

When investigators searched his Kutztown University dorm room, they reportedly found numerous images on his laptop and iPhone.

He was arrested in 2019 and charged with second-degree felony child pornography offenses.

A judge released him on a $25,000 bail, court documents show.

Two years later, Geier agreed to a plea deal, admitting guilt to a lesser charge of using a communication device for criminal activity.

He was sentenced to two years of probation, ordered to avoid anyone under 18, and required to undergo sex offender treatment.

WATCH:

Now, five years later, the same man stands accused of attacking federal law enforcement officers who were simply doing their jobs.

Acting Attorney General Blanche described the scene as violent and unlawful.

Geier allegedly kicked and bit officers during an anti-ICE protest that descended into chaos. Officials say federal agents were attempting to maintain order when agitators defied commands and turned hostile.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, appointed under the Trump administration, issued a strong response, calling the incident an example of what law enforcement officers endure when left-wing mobs decide to cross the line from activism to anarchy.

“As alleged in the Justice Department’s complaint, this violent rioter savagely bit an ICE law enforcement officer outside of Delaney Hall,” Mullin stated.

“The Trump Administration will always stand with our law enforcement officers. Anyone who assaults a law enforcement officer will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

Following his arrest, Geier appeared before Magistrate Judge Cari Fais, who released him under location monitoring with a curfew and a ban on returning to Delaney Hall.

It is a light touch for someone accused of violent assault.

ICE officials are treating the incident as part of a larger pattern of targeted aggression toward law enforcement.

Arthur Wilson Jr., acting Field Office Director for ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations in Newark, made it clear that the agency will pursue charges against anyone who attacks its officers.

“Instead of peacefully protesting, rioters blocked ICE officers conducting their lawful duties, ignored repeated lawful commands and threatened violence,” Wilson said.

“Our brave ICE officers risked their lives to protect everyone present inside and outside Delaney Hall and we will continue to pursue charges against agitators and ensure violent offenders have real consequences.”

The Delaney Hall protest, which occurred between May 26 and 29, resulted in 21 arrests for assaulting federal officers.

Geier’s alleged behavior was among the most egregious, with officers requiring medical treatment for bite wounds.

The violent nature of the protest shows how far anti-ICE demonstrators are willing to go in their crusade against immigration enforcement.

According to a website Geier created earlier this year, he describes himself as a “shut-in” with “high-functioning autism” who spends most of his time alone, immersed in Japanese animation and music.

The site does little to hide his alienation from reality or his troubling interests.

If convicted of the assault charges, Geier faces up to 20 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

His attorney has not responded to media requests for comment.

While Geier’s supporters may try to frame his actions as political protest, the federal complaint paints a clear picture of violence, defiance, and deep-seated contempt for law enforcement.

The fact that this alleged attacker once faced child pornography charges only intensifies public outrage.

It also raises questions about why someone with such a past was ever allowed back into society without closer supervision.

The same left-wing activists who demand endless sympathy for criminal offenders are now silent about a man accused of hurting officers and once possessing explicit images of children.

It fits a pattern where the progressive crowd excuses nearly any behavior as long as the perpetrator waves the right slogans.

For the men and women of ICE who put their safety on the line to enforce federal law, incidents like this only reaffirm what they already know: law and order are under constant attack.

The justice system must now decide whether to send a strong message that such violent outbursts against law enforcement will not be tolerated.
