Investigators Tie Dallas ICE Office Shooting to Anti-ICE Ideology

Officials point to anti-government writings as they examine why the attack targeted the facility.

Overview

  • Authorities identified the gunman as Joshua Jahn of Fairview, Texas, who died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot after opening fire on the Dallas field office.
  • Shots were fired from a nearby building during early-morning appointments, striking detainees during transfer, with officials reporting differing casualty totals.
  • Investigators recovered handwritten notes and cartridge casings with anti-ICE messages, and the FBI is classifying the incident as ideologically motivated “selective violence.”
  • ICE confirmed the victims were in custody; Mexico said one wounded person is a Mexican national, and relatives identified him publicly as Miguel Ángel García, who remains in critical condition.
  • Texas leaders Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz condemned the attack and pledged continued support for enforcement as the multiagency investigation proceeds without public release of victims’ names.
