DHS Fires NYC ICE Officer After Viral Assault as Dallas Attack Investigation Widens

Investigations deepen alongside new curbs and community monitoring.

Overview

  • Homeland Security dismissed the ICE officer seen throwing an Ecuadorian woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza and opened a full investigation after officials including Rep. Dan Goldman and New York City Comptroller Brad Lander condemned the conduct.
  • Authorities identified Dallas gunman Joshua Jahn and said his handwritten notes expressed hatred of the federal government, with one detainee killed and two wounded; Mexican national Miguel Ángel García remains on life support, according to Univision.
  • California’s governor approved a new law barring federal and local agents from covering their faces in most operations, and lawmakers advanced additional measures to restrict ICE access to schools and hospitals without a warrant and to curb data‑sharing absent a court order.
  • A separate viral video from Hyattsville, Maryland, shows an ICE agent drop a pistol during a struggle and then point the recovered firearm toward bystanders recording the arrest, as the agency has not released details about the stop.
  • Community responses are expanding, with a Chicago amateur league suspending matches after a park arrest triggered panic among families and Los Angeles advocates launching ‘Operation Libertad’ monitoring vans with legal support and backing from Mayor Karen Bass.
