At least three people were shot, two of whom were killed, in a shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday, Fox News confirmed.
The FBI says it is investigating the incident as a “targeted attack” against ICE, and multiple sources familiar with the investigation have identified the alleged shooter as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. Representatives for the FBI at a Wednesday morning press conference in Dallas said that preliminary investigations uncovered anti-ICE messaging on bullet rounds found near the shooter.
The shooting reportedly occurred as ICE officers were transferring detainees into the facility. The shooter died due to a self-inflicted wound shortly after the attack, authorities say. The three individuals who were shot were all detainees, and two of them have died.
The three detainees were shot while inside a law enforcement van, ICE sources told Fox News’ Brooke Taylor.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also appeared at Wednesday’s press conference and Dallas and condemned the attack, saying, “Violence has no place. It is wrong. If we want to have a debate about immigration we can do so in the halls of Congress.”

Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Texas, who represents the district containing the ICE facility, said his office is aware of the shooting and is monitoring the situation.
“We are keeping the victims in prayer and will update the North Texas community as we get news on their conditions and learn more about the suspect,” Veasey wrote on X.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott reacted to the attack on Wednesday, framing it as an “assassination.
“Texas fully supports ICE,” Abbott wrote. “Both the Texas Dept. of Public Safety & Texas National Guard work closely with ICE. This assassination will NOT slow our arrest, detention, and deportation of illegal immigrants. We will work with ICE and the Dallas Police Dept. to get to the bottom of the assassin’s motive. We will offer ICE additional support to assist their operations,” he added.
