A tragic incident unfolded at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility early Wednesday morning when a gunman opened fire, killing one person and critically injuring others before taking his own life.
Authorities have identified the shooter as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, a white male who opened fire from a rooftop. Reports say he later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as agents approached.

‘Anti-ICE’ Messages Found on Bullets
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that evidence recovered at the scene points to an ideological motive. He shared a photo of unspent shell casings engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE” on social media.
This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities.

Taking to X, Patel wrote: “This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities.”
He added: “While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack. One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase ‘ANTI ICE.’ More updates will be forthcoming.”
Patel also described the shooting as part of a troubling pattern:
“These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland, Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice. Thankfully, no law enforcement personnel were injured. Please pray for the injured and deceased.”
Vice President JD Vance Condemns Attack
The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop. I'm praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families. https://t.co/wEN3sqyGyQ

US Vice President JD Vance strongly condemned the shooting, calling it politically motivated. On X, he wrote:
“The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop. I’m praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families.”
Vance further said that the attack was carried out by a violent left-wing extremist who had written anti-ICE messages on his bullets. He urged political leaders to stop labeling opponents as Nazis and emphasized that those who threaten families should face justice.
Chaos Around the Facility
Local reports described chaotic scenes as several emergency vehicles rushed to the ICE facility near Interstate 35 East, just southwest of Dallas Love Field Airport. Traffic cameras showed normally busy freeway lanes completely shut down, with cars and trucks halted.
According to Fox 4 News, three ICE detainees were shot from a nearby rooftop. One person died, while two others were hospitalized.
