"It stood out to me, obviously, because we have seen the rhetoric escalate, Flores said. We've also seen the very dramatic videos of ICE nabbing individuals and tossing them into unmarked vehicles. A lot of these ICE officials have been masked. So it has been very divisive and there has been a lot of fear in the different communities where we've been reporting."
"Three people were shot at the facility, including two people fatally, and all were reportedly detainees. One FBI official said rounds found near the suspected shooter contained anti-ICE messages, while Sen.

Three people were shot at an ICE facility in Texas, two fatally, and all victims were reportedly detainees. Rounds found near the suspected shooter contained anti-ICE messages. A high-profile senator urged Democrats to acknowledge political opponents are not Nazis and called on both parties to condemn the violence. Viral videos showing masked ICE officials seizing individuals and loading them into unmarked vehicles amplified fear and divisiveness in affected communities. The FBI is investigating the attack as targeted violence. The same ICE facility received a bomb threat in August, which led to a man's arrest. Calls arose for less inflammatory language around immigration.
