That is not self-defense!!! Self-defense is when you are responding to an attack on yourself. The gang planned this out well in advance. The group who did this was not attacked, nor were they targeted or provoked. They were not arrested by ICE. They went to an ICE facility armed and ready.
Federal court documents that were unsealed earlier this week say that people wearing body armor and black military-style clothing descended on the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Alvarado late at night on July 4. They carried high-powered flashlights, two-way radios and set off fireworks toward the detention center, according to the court documents.
They allegedly carried cans of spray paint and wrote ICE Pig and Traitor on cars in the parking lot. A person in a green mask standing in the woods reportedly signaled as correctional officers approached the people spraying graffiti.
Department of Homeland Security officers at the center called 911. When an Alvarado police officer arrived, the shooting began. Court documents say two people in the woods, including the person wearing a green mask, shot about 30 rounds of bullets with AR-15 style rifles. The Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck and is expected to recover from his injuries.

Would you show up at Alligator Alcatraz fully armed and call it "self-defense" or stupidity?
