FBI Says Dallas ICE Shooting Was a Lone, Planned Attack Intended to Terrorize Agents

Investigators cite notes, digital files and a bullet marked 'ANTI‑ICE' as evidence of premeditation.

Overview

  • Joshua Jahn, 29, was identified as the rooftop gunman and died of a self‑inflicted gunshot after the assault.
  • Gunfire struck detainees in a transport van at a secure gate, killing one person and critically injuring two, while no ICE staff were wounded.
  • The FBI says Jahn acted alone, legally purchased an 8‑mm bolt‑action rifle in August, and researched DHS locations and ICE activity.
  • Recovered writings expressed a desire to cause "true terror" to ICE agents, and officials are investigating the act as targeted violence.
  • DHS ordered heightened security at ICE facilities nationwide, and Mexico’s foreign ministry says a wounded victim is a Mexican national in critical condition.
