Inside Dallas ICE facility in aftermath of sniper attack that killed two detainees

Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, 37, an illegal migrant from El Salvador who died in the attack, had a criminal history in Florida and Texas. ICE records do not show when or where he entered the U.S. He was first arrested in 2012 in Palm Beach County, Florida, on charges of battery, improper exhibit of a firearm or dangerous weapon and criminal mischief, with only criminal mischief upheld.

In 2020, Arlington, Texas, police charged him with a DWI, but he posted bond before ICE could issue a detainer. Dallas police arrested him on Aug. 25 on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a DWI warrant. ICE lodged a detainer, but the assault charge was later dismissed. Dallas Enforcement and Removal Operations apprehended him on Sept. 24 under the detainer.

Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, 31, an illegal migrant from Mexico, died in the hospital from his injuries. ICE records do not show when or where he entered the U.S. He was arrested on Aug. 8, 2025, in Arlington, Texas, on DUI charges, evading arrest with a vehicle and fleeing police. ICE lodged a detainer the same day and took him into custody on Sept. 24. 

Garcia-Hernandez had prior arrests in Arlington: in 2011, for failure to identify and evading arrest, resulting in a conviction on the first charge; and in 2017, for failure to identify, also leading to conviction. An immigration detainer was filed in 2017, but he was released before ICE could act. “Our thoughts are with his family, and this tragedy underscores the terrible cost of dangerous rhetoric and violence against the men and women of ICE who are simply carrying out their sworn law enforcement mission,” ICE said in a statement.

Jose Andres Bordones-Molina, 33, an illegal migrant from Venezuela, remains hospitalized from his injuries. ICE records show he entered the U.S. in Nogales, Arizona on August 12, 2024, and was released. He was arrested on Jan. 16 in Arlington, Texas, on a property theft charge, and again on September 16 in Euless, Texas with a traffic offense charge. ICE Dallas lodged an immigration detainer following the September arrest.
