FBI Details ‘High Degree’ of Planning in Dallas ICE Rooftop Attack

Evidence from the suspect’s devices and writings led DHS to tighten security at ICE facilities as the investigation continues.

Overview

  • Authorities identified the gunman as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who killed one detainee, critically wounded two others and then died by a self-inflicted gunshot.
  • Investigators say Jahn downloaded a Dallas DHS facilities document, searched ballistics and the “Charlie Kirk Shot Video,” and used apps that tracked ICE agents.
  • A handwritten note read, “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror,” and an unfired casing at the scene was marked “ANTI-ICE,” the FBI said.
  • The FBI is treating the shooting as a targeted act of violence; all those shot were detainees in a transport van and no ICE personnel were injured.
  • DHS increased security at ICE sites nationwide and the Dallas field office paused some check-ins, while agents review additional leads including an unconfirmed vehicle with a “radioactive fallout” map.
