Dallas Ice Shooting The latest: facilities on superior alert as the FBI investigates as “act of directed violence”

The interim director of immigration and compliance with customs, Todd Lyons, said he would put all ice facilities on a higher alert after a shooting in a Dallas field office on Wednesday that killed a detainee and critically wounded two others.

While no officer were injured, the National Security Department said the shooting was “an attack on the ICE police.”

The alleged shooter has been identified by the officials responsible for enforcing the law as Joshua Jahn, 29, told ABC News of 29 years of application of the law.

The shooter, who was on a nearby roof, “indiscriminately shot at the ice building, even in a truck in Sallyport where the victims shot themselves,” DHS said in a statement.

The shooter died of a self -inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.

The DHS said previously that two detainees were killed and one was injured; The agency then issued a correction saying that one died and two were shot but survived.

One of the injured is a Mexican citizen, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mexico.

The application of the law and the Republican politicians suggested a political motive for the shooting, which occurs in the midst of ice deportation efforts throughout the country. The DHS said in a statement that ICE officers have faced an increase of more than 1,000% in the assaults against them.

Two Texas facilities were attacked this July: a police officer was shot in an ice detention center in Alvarado and an armed man opened fire at the entrance of the annex of the border patrol sector in McAllen.

The FBI said that Wednesday’s shooting is being investigated “as an act of directed violence.”

The special FBI agent, Joe Rothrock, said it seemed that the rounds “found near the alleged shooter contain messages that are anti-there.”

The director of the FBI, Kash Patel, launched an image of recovered bullets, including an engraved with the phrase “Anti-Ai”, and DHS launched a photo that seems to show a shot on an American flag screen.

Vice President JD Vance said during the comments in North Carolina on Wednesday that the evidence that has not yet been published shows that the shooter was a “extremist of the left” who was “politically motivated to persecute people who are enforcing our border.”

The authorities said that attacks against ice and the application of the law must end.

“Our prayers are with the families of the murdered and our application of the Ice Law. This vile attack was motivated by ice hatred,” said DHS secretary Kristi Noem, in a statement. “For months, we have been warning politicians and the media that mitigate their rhetoric about the ICE police before someone was killed. This shooting should serve as a call for attention.”

President Donald Trump wrote on social networks: “This is negligible! The brave ice men and women are only trying to do their job and eliminate the” worst “criminals of our country, but face an unprecedented increase in threats, violence and attacks of disturbed radical leftists.”

“This must stop,” said Senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, at a press conference. “Violence is incorrect, politically motivated violence is incorrect.”

Vance said: “We are praying both for our ice agents, as well as by all those affected by this terrible attack.”

The democratic leaders of the House of Representatives in a statement thanked the first to respond and offered their condolences to the families of the victims.

“No one in the United States must be violently attacked, including our men and women in the application of the law that protect and serve our neighborhoods, and immigrants who are often victims of dehumanizing rhetoric,” the Democrats declaration continued. “Politically and ideologically motivated violence in the United States has reached a break point this year. We need leaders who join the country in times of crisis.”
