A chilling incident unfolded at the Dallas ICE facility, leaving at least three detainees shot, one fatally. The FBI has launched an investigation, labeling it a 'targeted' attack.
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas condemned the violence, emphasizing that politically motivated attacks are unacceptable. He drew parallels to the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah, highlighting a disturbing trend of shootings targeting ICE and CBP in Texas. Cruz urged politicians to refrain from demonizing these agencies and their personnel.
Tom Homan, President Trump's border czar, revealed the toll of such threats, explaining his need for 24/7 security and his decision to live apart from his family for their safety. He vowed to continue his mission to make America safe again.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed the need for Democrats to stop demonizing ICE agents, following a deadly shooting at the Dallas field office. The FBI's Special Agent in Charge, Joseph Rothrock, confirmed the investigation as an act of targeted violence, with anti-ICE messages found on bullet rounds near the shooter.
The shooting occurred during detainee transfer, with the shooter taking their own life. All three victims were detainees, and one has sadly passed away. ICE sources revealed that the shooting took place inside a law enforcement van.
FBI Director Kash Patel emphasized the need to end these politically motivated attacks, referencing a similar ambush in Prarieland, Texas, two months prior. Patel vowed that the FBI and its partners would pursue justice to its fullest extent.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by law enforcement and the need for a unified front against such violence.
