An unidentified gunman opened fire on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas early on Wednesday, leading to multiple injuries and fatalities, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.
“While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them,” Noem said. “It must stop. Please pray for the victims and their families.”
The gunman later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Noem said.
The incident comes just weeks after conservative organizer Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at a college campus in Utah, a political assassination that gripped the country and prompted President Donald Trump to promise consequences for the “radical left.”
And it comes with ICE in the middle of a recruitment drive that has pulled in over 150,000 applications, as Trump looks to hire 10,000 new agents and reach a million deportations a year.
“The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop,” Vice President JD Vance said in a post on X after reports of the shooting emerged. “I’m praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families.”
