On September 24, a shocking shooting incident occurred at the office of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) in Dallas, USA, when a suspect fired at the facility from a nearby building.
The incident killed one detainee and seriously injured two others before the attackers committed suicide. The US Department of Homeland Security confirmed that the gunman opened fire, hitting a car carrying detainees entering a security area.
FBI Director Kash Patel released an image of an unused bullet with the case engraved with the words ANTI-ICE (opposed to ICE). He said that initial evidence showed that the attack had a conscious motive. Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem later confirmed that the shooter was targeting ICE.
Local media said the suspect was identified as Joshua Jahn (29 years old) who fell from the rooftop of a three-story building.
Police discovered Jahn's car parked near the scene, with a US map on its body marking areas marked as "nuclear radiation" areas. The suspect's brother - Mr. Noah Jahn - said that he did not know what political views Joshua had.
US President Donald Trump criticized the extreme Democratic Party for having a negative impact on law enforcement, saying the language incited violence aimed at ICE. He also linked the incident to the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated two weeks ago. Trump has pledged to sign a decree to eliminate the domestic terrorist network, although he has not yet provided evidence of a greater threat from the left wing than the right wing.
The FBI said the investigation is ongoing, considering it an act of deliberate violence.
