"Wednesday's deadly shooting at an Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (Ice) facility in Dallas comes as the agency has heightened its crusade against undocumented people and bolstered its self-image of being under siege from violent enemies. Little is known of the motives of the gunman who opened fire on the detention center near Love Field airport from a nearby roof, killing a detainee and wounding two others before killing himself."
"Going further, Donald Trump sought to tie the shooting to radical left terrorists in a manner similar to how the president and his supporters have tarred the party over the recent murder of Charlie Kirk even though senior Democrats have condemned the rightwing activist's killing and political violence generally. The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) issued a press release containing a list of supposedly incriminating quotes attributed to Democratic figures."
A gunman opened fire on an Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE) detention center near Love Field airport from a nearby roof, killing a detainee, wounding two others, and then killing himself. One of the bullets bore an anti-ICE message that FBI director Kash Patel highlighted. Former president Donald Trump and the NRCC linked the attack to radical left actors and cited Democratic rhetoric. FBI field agent Joe Rothrock framed the incident as part of a string of targeted attacks on immigration officers. Recent related incidents include a vehicle-ramming attempt near San Diego and an ambush-style shooting at Prairieland detention center in Alvarado, with ten arrests.
