Sniper Shoots Detainees at Dallas ICE Facility

“What I can share with you is that early evidence we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that are anti-ICE in nature. Again, this is just the most recent example of this type of attack,” Rothrock said.

“One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’ More updates will be forthcoming,” he wrote on X following the press conference.

“These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers,” Director Patel wrote.

“It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice.”

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz hit out at the demonizing of ICE officers for fueling political violence.

“Politicians demanding that ICE agents be doxed and calling for people to go after their families: stop,” he told the press conference.

“Violence has no place. It is wrong, and we should come together,” he added.
