"This needs to stop. Violence is wrong. Politically motivated violence is wrong. It was two weeks ago today that we saw a political assassination in Utah that tore the heart out of much of this country. This is the third shooting in Texas directed at ICE or CBP. This must stop. To every politician who is using rhetoric demonizing ICE and demonizing CBP, stop!"
"To every politician demanding that ICE agents be doxed and calling for people to go after their families, stop! This has very real consequences. Look, in America we disagree, that's fine, that is the democratic process, but your political opponents are not Nazis! We need to learn to work together without demonizing each other, without attacking each other. And I want to say thank you. I want to say thank you to the brave men and women of law enforcement."
A shooting at a Dallas ICE facility wounded four people and killed two, including the gunman, while no officers were harmed. Early evidence indicated anti‑ICE messages were written on rounds found near the shooter, and the FBI is treating the incident as targeted violence. The same facility received a bomb threat a month earlier that led to an arrest. Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson urged restraint while the investigation continues. Sen. Ted Cruz joined law enforcement and the mayor at a press conference, blamed demonizing rhetoric and calls to dox ICE agents, cited a recent political assassination, and demanded politicians stop dehumanizing opponents.
