"You know, I've never seen anything like this in my law enforcement career. I've never seen threats on law enforcement, specifically ICE, increased the way it is. You know, we're up over 1,000% assaults on officers right now. And really just a lot of the talk that's out there, a lot of the rhetoric is just the violence directed towards law enforcement officers just trying to do their job."
"And it just keeps we just keeping seeing an increase step by step. You know, like I said, we had that shooting at the El Dorado facility, which is right outside Dallas, July 4th, where they ambushed officers in military tactical gear under the guise of fireworks. And now we have this, and it just seems like it keeps getting worse and worse, and it has to stop."
Todd Lyons warned assaults on ICE officers have increased by more than 1,000% following a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility. Multiple people were shot, and two died, including the gunman, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities said no officers were injured and did not confirm whether the victims were detainees, though reports suggest they were shot inside a transport van. Lyons described unprecedented blowback against law enforcement and cited earlier attacks such as a July 4th ambush at the El Dorado facility. The Dallas site faced a bomb threat in August leading to an arrest. The FBI reported early evidence suggesting an ideological motive and shared an image of rounds found near the shooter.
