Early Wednesday morning a gunman opened fire at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas, leaving multiple people wounded and at least one dead before the shooter took his own life. The attack unfolded near Love Field and snarled morning traffic as law enforcement converged on the scene. This is a brazen assault on a federal facility carrying out lawful duties and it happened on American soil.
Federal investigators say they found unspent rounds at the scene that had clearly written anti-ICE language on them, and the FBI is treating the incident as an act of targeted political violence. FBI leadership released images showing a bullet marked “ANTI-ICE,” signaling this was not random crime but an ideologically driven attack. The discovery should end any naive insistence that political rhetoric carries no consequences.
Officials believe the shooter fired from an adjacent building in a manner consistent with a sniper attack, striking detainees while no ICE officers were hurt. The shooter was later found dead of a self-inflicted wound, and authorities confirmed detainees were among the victims. Early reports are still being clarified, but the pattern is alarmingly clear: federal officers and facilities are being singled out.
This is not an isolated freak occurrence; federal officials point to a worrying uptick in threats and violent acts targeted at ICE and other Homeland Security operations across Texas and beyond. Earlier this summer there were other attacks and threats against DHS sites, and extremists have been increasingly emboldened by hostile rhetoric and mainstream media silence. Americans who believe in law and order should be alarmed that those who enforce immigration laws are being painted as villains and then attacked.
Let there be no equivocation: political leaders, activists, and pundits who demonize agents doing the hard, messy work of enforcing our laws share moral responsibility when rhetoric escalates into bullets. Conservatives defend the rule of law because it protects every citizen, including the vulnerable and the men and women who volunteer for dangerous public service. If the Left wants to campaign against policies, fine — do it in civics and courts, not in violence and intimidation.
This moment demands swift, unwavering action from federal law enforcement and from patriotic elected officials. Protect every ICE facility, prosecute anyone who cheered or planned such attacks, and stop the culture of blame that excuses political violence. We must also secure our border and enforce immigration laws without apology, because a nation that abandons its sovereign duty to control who enters will only see more chaos and more targets.
Hardworking Americans should stand with the brave ICE officers whose mission is to uphold our laws and keep communities safe, not with those who seek to silence them through fear. Call your representatives, demand accountability, and insist that federal agencies get the resources and protections they need to do their jobs. We will not let ideological hatred win in America.
