One person was killed and several others wounded Wednesday in a shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Dallas, Texas, with authorities describing it as a targeted act of violence.
“While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack,” FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X, sharing an image of a shell casing inscribed with the phrase ‘ANTI-ICE’.
A suspected sniper died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, officials said.

US President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown has seen almost 60,000 people arrested since his term began and sparked mass protests across the country.
