A shooter opened fire on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas on Wednesday, resulting in the death of one detainee and injuries to two others. The gunman, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, reportedly fired from a nearby rooftop before taking his own life.

In a stark reminder of the tensions surrounding immigration enforcement, FBI Director Kash Patel shared on social media a bullet found at the scene with 'ANTI-ICE' written on it. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has since ordered increased security at ICE facilities across the country.

Authorities are still investigating the motive behind the shooting, which follows a recent uptick in violence against ICE agents.

Edwin Cardona, a witness and immigrant visiting the facility, described the panic during the incident as active shooter alerts rang out, sending families inside into hiding. The American Immigration Lawyers Association called the shootings a reminder of the human aspect behind immigration cases.

This tragic shooting underscores the urgent need to address the escalating violence in the political climate surrounding immigration enforcement.
