FBI Says Dallas ICE Shooting Was a Planned ‘Directed’ Attack That Killed One Detainee

Investigators point to anti‑ICE inscriptions plus planning notes as evidence of an ideological motive.

Overview

  • Authorities say the suspected gunman, identified in reporting as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died by suicide and appears to have acted alone.
  • One migrant in ICE custody was killed and two remain in critical condition after shots were fired from a nearby rooftop toward a secure exit area; no ICE personnel were injured.
  • FBI and federal prosecutors report recovering devices and handwritten notes indicating premeditation, including a message about causing “true terror” to ICE agents and a casing marked “ANTI‑ICE.”
  • DHS ordered heightened security at ICE facilities nationwide as the investigation continues into what officials classify as a directed act of violence.
  • Mexico’s Foreign Ministry confirmed one of the wounded is a Mexican national, with the Dallas consulate in contact with the family and seeking access and legal support.
