Dallas ICE Office Shooting Labeled Ideological Attack by Lone Gunman

Investigators say the attack was a lone‑actor plot aimed at intimidating ICE agents.

Overview

  • Authorities report one detainee dead and two in critical condition, with no law‑enforcement injuries confirmed.
  • The shooter fired from a nearby rooftop at the Dallas field office, striking a transport van area, then died from an apparent self‑inflicted gunshot.
  • Evidence cited by the FBI includes ammunition marked “ANTI ICE” and notes recovered from the suspect’s home describing a plan to terrorize ICE personnel.
  • Officials say Joshua Jahn, 29, legally purchased the rifle in August, planned the assault for months, and so far shows no ties to organized groups.
  • The FBI is treating the case as politically motivated, and DHS leaders have condemned hostile rhetoric directed at ICE, as investigators continue to gather tips.
