A shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Dallas on Wednesday left one detainee dead and two others injured after a gunman opened fire from a nearby rooftop, before taking his own life. The shooter, identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, inscribed 'ANTI-ICE' on his ammunition, suggesting a politically motivated attack.

President Trump quickly condemned the incident, blaming 'Radical Left Democrats' for inciting violence against law enforcement and promising to sign an executive order aimed at dismantling 'Domestic Terrorism Networks.' Trump's comments have sparked further political controversy, echoing criticisms made following the recent assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The Department of Homeland Security classified the Dallas incident as 'targeted violence' and confirmed that investigations are ongoing. Tensions continue to rise as ICE facilities become flashpoints for clashes, fueled by the Trump administration's stringent immigration policies and the agency's fraught history with protesters and opposition groups.
