DHS Secretary Kristi Noem lambasted unprecedented violence against ICE agents after a sniper killed multiple people at a Dallas immigration facility early this morning.
At least three people were injured, and one was killed, at the Texas ICE facility around 7am before a suspected sniper was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on a nearby rooftop.
Noem confirmed on X that there were multiple injuries and fatalities, and the shooter died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop, the secretary said.
Pro-immigration demonstrators have frequently targeted the Dallas ICE facility in recent months.

Dallas ICE facility faced frequent threats in recent months
The ICE facility has been frequently targeted by pro-immigration demonstrators in recent months.
Last month, a man identified as Bratton Dean Wilkinson, 36, was arrested after making a bomb threat against the immigration processing center, reported Fox 4.
Wilkinson allegedly arrived at the entrance on August 25 and claimed to have a bomb in his backpack, and showed a 'detonator' on his wrist. He is now facing charges of making terroristic threats.
