Chicago – September 24, 2025
A shooting incident at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, Texas, left two detainees dead and another injured, officials confirmed. The shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after firing at an unmarked van near the detention facility from a nearby rooftop.
FBI investigators are treating the attack as an act of targeted violence. Notably, shell casings recovered near the shooter bore the inscription “ANTI-ICE,” signaling a possible political motive behind the attack. No ICE officers were harmed in the incident.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem condemned the shooting as a “vile attack motivated by hatred for ICE,” underscoring concerns about rising hostility toward immigration enforcement personnel. The acting ICE Director described the shooter as a sniper, highlighting the premeditated nature of the assault.
This shooting follows a series of violent incidents targeting ICE facilities nationwide, raising alarms among federal authorities about the increasing dangers faced by immigration enforcement agents and detainees alike.
Authorities continue to investigate the motive and circumstances surrounding this tragic event. The injured detainee remains hospitalized in critical condition.
