Three people have been shot at an Immigration and U.S. Customs Enforcement detention facility in Dallas and the shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the agencys director said.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons confirmed the shooting during an interview on CNN on Wednesday.
It could be employees, it could be civilians that were visiting the facility, it could be detainees, Lyons said of those who were shot. At this point, were still working through that.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said details were still emerging but the agency was confirming there were multiple injuries and fatalities. Noem said the motive remained unclear but noted there has been an uptick of targeting of ICE agents.

(31,353 posts)as we have seen they will blame the left immediately even though it could turn out to be a fucking ICE agent who just lost his shit.

(1,251 posts)Here is their "story"
The FBI is [investigating] the incident as an act of targeted violence, said R. Joseph Rothrock, the head of the agencys Dallas field office, at a news conference Wednesday. Rounds found near the shooter contained messages that are anti-ICE in nature, he added.
Pretty convenient to copycat Kirk's shooter. I call Bull Shit!

(13,211 posts)Even if the bullets had anti ice messages, that doesn't necessarily mean the shooter was left wing.
Running onto TV with their unfounded/unproven claims are irresponsible and unprofessional.

They are probably just trying to make it look like the shooter isn't one of theirs.
Detainees were shot.
Bettie
(19,878 posts)a way to spin it as a good thing...maybe praise the shooter as a guy who gave her a wonderful idea on how to save money.
Do I really think she and the current admin would go along with that? Yes, yes I do.

(13 posts)This is horrifying. My heart goes out to everyone affected the victims, their families, the staff, and even the broader community that will now carry this trauma.
We dont yet know the motive, but any act of violence like this especially in a federal facility is incredibly serious and raises urgent questions about security, safety, and the growing climate of hostility toward immigration-related institutions.
I hope the media and investigators approach this with care and clarity. No rushing to judgment just facts, accountability, and above all, compassion for the victims.
Please keep sharing verified updates when available. 🙏

(1,251 posts)They need a social media blitz claiming, "unconfirmed reports indicate that the Dallas ICE detention center shooter was a Dallas resident that despised Mexicans and told his friends that he "was going to do something about it." However, the authorities have yet to confirm these reports.
The right is already claiming they know it's a Democrat or a Mexican or an illegal alien. Beat them at their own game.

(24,056 posts)I'm hearing everywhere, is no more helpful than "thoughts and prayers".... the answer is not the rhetoric.... it is in the actions of a corrupt political body
this will all continue as long as we have a corrupt president (and cabinet), a privileged billionaire class, actions that are taking rights and security away from everyday people, ignoring climate change and etc., etc...........

(34,246 posts)I had no fucking idea there was a detention center there!
So what I heard from someone down there was that there were some Hispanic guys on the corner trying to find work and ICE started rounding them up and then there were shots from the roof of a nearby apartment buildingsounded an awful lot like snipers because how the hell could you have a shooting in such a populous area and only hit the Hispanic men?
Its crazy around here right now
