FBI: Dallas ICE Rooftop Attack Was Planned Terrorism Targeting Agents

Recovered notes describe a bid to instill fear in ICE personnel, according to federal investigators.

Overview

  • Officials identified the suspect as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who killed one detainee, critically wounded two others, and then died by suicide, with no ICE staff injured.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel said evidence shows downloads of a DHS facilities list, late-August searches of apps tracking ICE agents, and queries on ballistics and the "Charlie Kirk Shot Video."
  • Investigators found writings stating he hoped to "give ICE agents real terror" and an unspent round marked "ANTI-ICE," and they report he acted alone with no organizational ties.
  • Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson labeled the shooting "the very definition of terrorism" and said the notes outlined a plan focused on ICE personnel and property.
  • DHS increased security at ICE facilities nationwide and postponed Dallas check-ins, while political leaders issued competing statements over rhetoric and motive.
