Three people have been shot at an Immigration and U.S. Customs Enforcement detention facility in Dallas and the shooter is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the agency’s director said.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons confirmed the shooting during an interview on CNN on Wednesday.

“It could be employees, it could be civilians that were visiting the facility, it could be detainees,” Lyons said of those who were shot. “At this point, we’re still working through that.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said details were still emerging but the agency was confirming there were “multiple injuries and fatalities.” Noem said the motive remained unclear but noted there has been an uptick of targeting of ICE agents.

1. MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize the shooter as anything other than one of them?

...just askin'

[Lovie777]

2. We know who they gonna blame.................................

it never fails.

[barbtries]

6. pretty rhetorical

as we have seen they will blame the left immediately even though it could turn out to be a fucking ICE agent who just lost his shit.

[malaise]

7. Well as Liberal In Texas' post notes

Three detainees were shot - two are dead as well as the shooter.
But you are correct - Costume Gnome is already spewing nonsense.

[MayReasonRule]

18. The Two Dead Are Detainees...

[liberalgunwilltravel]

39. Just as I said below.

Here is their "story"

The FBI is [investigating] the incident as an “act of targeted violence,” said R. Joseph Rothrock, the head of the agency’s Dallas field office, at a news conference Wednesday. Rounds found near the shooter contained “messages that are anti-ICE in nature,” he added.

Pretty convenient to copycat Kirk's shooter. I call Bull Shit!

[berniesandersmittens]

42. Of course, there are right wing extremists who think ice isn't rounding up MORE people

Even if the bullets had anti ice messages, that doesn't necessarily mean the shooter was left wing.

Running onto TV with their unfounded/unproven claims are irresponsible and unprofessional.

Cruz has to pipe in with "they're calling us Nazis ..."

[Ilsa]

50. I guess Cancun Cruz didn't hear about the

5 year old little girl ICE held as extortion to make her father leave his home so they could detain him, and other stories of hatred, brutality, etc by ICE towards good people.

[malaise]

51. I smell a rat

That is all

[Liberal In Texas]

3. Live Report:

2 detainees dead. Shooter dead self-inflicted.

4. Thanks

[Liberal In Texas]

25. And also odd,

they're saying the shooter was on the top of a building across the street with a bolt action rifle - echoing shooter Tyler Robinson.

[obamanut2012]

5. Local reports say detainees

[Bettie]

8. If it had been ICE agents shot

they would be screaming it from the rooftops.

They are probably just trying to make it look like the shooter isn't one of theirs.

[malaise]

9. Indeed

Detainees were shot.

[Bettie]

11. And Crusty is trying to find

a way to spin it as a good thing...maybe praise the shooter as a guy who gave her a wonderful idea on how to save money.

Do I really think she and the current admin would go along with that? Yes, yes I do.

[malaise]

15. Ted Cruz is praying for those shot - killed or injured

Funny that he has not objected to said detainees being illegally held for more than 12 hours in said facility

[travelingthrulife]

24. Nor does he care that ICE is kidnapping and murdering people, most of whom

are following immigration rules.

[CincyDem]

34. They'd be prepping another weekend of nationally televised memorial services.

[newdeal2]

10. Noem needs to cut her outfit and commercial budget

And spend the money on security and better conditions.

[RazorbackExpat]

12. She just needs to get the f out of government

Puppy Killer Barbie is in way over her head

[malaise]

13. Ding ding

Detainees are not supposed to be held at this facility for more than 12 hours.

[Greg_In_SF]

36. That was changed

to 72 hours back in late June.

[Takket]

14. Great. Another excuse for them to crack down more on free speech and our movements

“These poor ice agents are protecting us from gangs and rapists and look what the radical left is doing to them!” You can hear the narrative already.

[malaise]

16. Detainees were shot and killed

not agents

[muriel_volestrangler]

20. That doesn't stop them - J Divan Vance has already tweeted

"The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop. I'm praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families."

According to police sources, the suspect was a sniper on a roof armed with a rifle. The shooter, identified by police as a white man, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head as agents approached.

The three victims were detainees in ICE custody.

Still jamming the Davenport.

29. Oh! Thank you.

[MayReasonRule]

17. Two Detainees Were Shot And Killed - The Shooter Committed Suicide By Shooting Himself

[Lovie777]

19. They are already claiming that the shooter meant to kill ICE agents...............

but was a bad shot. How the hell do they know that since the shooter killed himself.

[Liberal In Texas]

30. Yeah, luckily the brave storm troopers are OK, it was just Mexicans.

[ananda]

21. They're "still working through that"

to make sure it's an alien enemy.

[thomski64]

33. Amazingly high percentage of shootings.

Seem to involve...
...GUNS

[travelingthrulife]

22. What do you think the motive might be, Puppy Killer? You think maybe people

shouldn't be kidnapped, disappeared, abused and murdered by your gang of thugs.

[youssef5070]

26. Tragic and deeply unsettling -- following for updates

This is horrifying. My heart goes out to everyone affected — the victims, their families, the staff, and even the broader community that will now carry this trauma.

We don’t yet know the motive, but any act of violence like this — especially in a federal facility — is incredibly serious and raises urgent questions about security, safety, and the growing climate of hostility toward immigration-related institutions.

I hope the media and investigators approach this with care and clarity. No rushing to judgment — just facts, accountability, and above all, compassion for the victims.

Please keep sharing verified updates when available. 🙏

28. Too bad about all those other countries going to hell

31. Massive Police response

35. Trump did not MAGA. He made it worse.

[liberalgunwilltravel]

37. This is where Dems need to learn to play the game

They need a social media blitz claiming, "unconfirmed reports indicate that the Dallas ICE detention center shooter was a Dallas resident that despised Mexicans and told his friends that he "was going to do something about it." However, the authorities have yet to confirm these reports.

The right is already claiming they know it's a Democrat or a Mexican or an illegal alien. Beat them at their own game.

[Torchlight]

38. Local news (WFAA) reported it occurred during loading/unloading of detainees

"Sources told WFAA that the shooting happened during the loading or unloading of a bus of detainees."

[Historic NY]

40. So many variations

it was a sniper, then it was a shooter,

https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-ice-shooting] has up to date info

Police identified the shooter as a white male. The suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

[pandr32]

41. We should be making our nation safer.

Let's stop with the inflammatory rhetoric, hate speech, and the guns!
Instead we should be doing all we can to help communities and people with support and opportunities. We are America.

[markie]

52. "we must stop the inflammatory rhetoric"

I'm hearing everywhere, is no more helpful than "thoughts and prayers".... the answer is not the rhetoric.... it is in the actions of a corrupt political body

this will all continue as long as we have a corrupt president (and cabinet), a privileged billionaire class, actions that are taking rights and security away from everyday people, ignoring climate change and etc., etc...........

[pandr32]

54. A corrupt felon in the WH is calling for violence.

I get what you are saying, but we cannot ignore the T beast and the media that amplifies his calls for violence.

[markie]

55. agree

[Horse with no Name]

43. It is literally across the street from my work

I had no fucking idea there was a detention center there!
So what I heard from someone down there was that there were some Hispanic guys on the corner trying to find work and ICE started rounding them up and then there were shots from the roof of a nearby apartment building—sounded an awful lot like snipers because how the hell could you have a shooting in such a populous area and only hit the Hispanic men?
It’s crazy around here right now

[Horse with no Name]

45. Yeah I don't buy that

Not at all

53. That is fucking terrifying.

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this where you live and work. I can’t imagine and honestly, I don’t want to.
