San Bernardino Boosts Patrols at Adelanto ICE Facility After Dallas Shooting

Deputies increased patrols around the GEO-run center after a rooftop attack in Texas as the facility remains under scrutiny over detainee care.

Overview

  • The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department says it is actively coordinating with federal partners and has added patrols out of an abundance of caution.
  • Officials report no direct or validated threat to the public or the Adelanto facility at this time.
  • Sheriff’s officials emphasize deputies are not assigned to immigration enforcement and provide local policing because the city of Adelanto contracts with the department.
  • Homeland Security says a rooftop sniper killed one person in ICE custody and critically injured two others in Dallas, and the FBI noted ammunition at the scene carried anti-ICE messaging.
  • ICE is reviewing the recent death of 39-year-old Ismael Ayala-Uribe after his transfer from Adelanto to a Victorville hospital, as the Mexican Consulate and advocacy groups call for a full investigation.
