Three people were shot at the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office on Wednesday morning, according to acting ICE Director Todd Lyons.
The shooter is "down" from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Lyons said in an interview on CNN.
That’s the whole article.
The victims were not immediately clear but Lyons said that "all ICE agents and officers at [the] location are accounted for right now."
This is also notable!
Because I assumed the narrative was that the shooter was targeting ICE agents.
Updated. 2 dead, 1 wounded. All were detainees. Shots were fired blindly at a building and a van. Detainees were in the van.
If this kid was aiming for the ICE he was an imbecile, so disappointed in him.
ABC is updating as more information comes out
Shooter appears to have been targeting kidnapped immigrants, not ICE. But sure, the violence against ICE agents has to stop. Violence against brown people, however? Totally fine.
I'm not sure what the shooter's motivations were, but he appears to have shot the van they were in multiple times and not have had any visual on his targets, meaning he could have been aiming for the ICE. It's hard to say for sure.
did ice just murder a bunch of immigrants to give the government an excuse to further crack down?
Yep.
Alternatively, it could have been just another right-wing fuckhead who wanted to murder some brown people and the administration is making the best use of it they can to make up for dropping the ball so hard on Kirk's assassination.
Could be a mix of the two. Could be an ICE officer who was off duty. We don't even know who they are hiring or who they are redirecting from what agency. Or it could just be someone who wanted to be ICE or were rejected by them.
It does seem likely. Especially if that "anti-ice" message on the bullets is real. That doesn't even make sense...
So supposedly this was targeted at ICE but he missed and hit 3 immigrants by accident. So, again, both sides will claim the other side is responsible.
The only thing clear is that there's more violence coming.
It really, really feels like a false flag, either completely or partially staged. The single round in a... stripper clip? with the phrase "anti ice" hastily written on ONE bullet is bad enough, but the tweet by Patel really sealed it, both in terms of posting evidence in a murder case on social media, and the fact that he said "empty casings were engraved" as he posted the picture of non-empty bullet casings with sharpie markings. It seems like they tried to do something hasty and rapid here and made a lot of mistakes.
Worth noting there is precedent for this; this is exactly how right-wing extremists operate; notable examples in the past proven to be such false flags include:
I'm really surprised ol' wide-eyes didn't have his boys write "Antifa 4Ever!" on the shell. The weird rush-job of the whole thing really lends me to believe whatever went down wasn't exactly how they had planned.
I guess we wait and see what obvious bs they do next like throw a wig on the shooter's body and call him "trans."
Yeah, these guys writing shit on bullets thinking it'll throw cops off their trail, are wasting their time. It's dumb.
I am willing to buy into the idea that T Rob was a conservative who started turning left. This shit right here is nonsense.
Thoughts and prayers...
But still nowhere near as big of a tragedy as when a school gets shot up. And Charlie Kirk said these are the price of freedom
Looking at history and how unoriginal HF is. My prediction remains:
Big ass false flag attack is on the horizon.
Putin flavored.
Everything the regime has tried to use to incite "civil war" has failed so far.
Interesting idea, but what could it possibly be? Americans shrug off gun violence like it's just a part of life.
Like I said. Putin Flavored.
The Moscow apartment bombings. Probably in a blue or at least purple state. Lots of victims. Blames antifa.
Immigrants or gastapo?
Sounds like 3 people shot, and the shooter killed himself. 2 people were detainees that were shot, no information on the third. Noem of course is saying "violence against ICE has to stop".... But this very much sounds like violence against immigrants. Unless they were detaining ICE officers
Edit: Fox is reporting all 3 were detainees, being shot with a rifle from range and the shooter killed himself. Fox made sure to say the shooter was white.
I haven't seen anyone else report on it outside FOX/CNN with any details yet
Who is so racist that they have to kill people already detained and likely have already shitty ruined lives? These maga cultists better be labeled as terrorists once trump is gone
Is that a serious question?
It's been like a week since someone killed Charlie Kirk for not being rightwing enough.
And you're surprised someone thinks we should execute immigrants instead of "just" detain and deport?!
The far right has been fracturing since Trump took office.
They all want different things to different extremes, and now that MAGA controls the whole federal government, they're all pissed things aren't happening exactly as they want.
They're realizing that what they thought was "us" is really a bunch of "them".
trump speed runs everything, usually it takes years for a fascist movement to start eating itself once it comes to power.
Did I miss credible evidence coming out that Robinson was actually part of a far right group that thought Kirk wasn't extreme enough?
Ugh, I have to agree with this because you’re correct. I haven’t seen anything confirming right wing or left wing either. It seems like the dude just acted and a case could be made for either side.
I say ugh because it would be easier if we could have a definite reason to point to.
Fox made sure to say the shooter was white.
Honestly I'm a little surprised they did.
Probably because they’re proud of this one. I believe the person shot immigrants.
Well I read it and was like why would they point that out, and then was like ohhhh, probably for the best after this past weeks bologna
What a tool that noem is, trying to spin a victim narrative real quick before anyone actually knows what happened.
"left-wing extremist" who was "politically motivated to go after people who are enforcing our border."
If they keep saying it they’ll be right eventually. “SEE?!? We told you so!!”
Yes, that's why the shooter targeted detainees, not officers.
So basically you can write anything on the bullet to place blame on the side you want blamed and everyone will automatically believe you? -- because someone who would shoot people would definitely not lie or try to make it look like a certain "side" did it, right?
Or maybe no matter what they write or who they shoot, this regime will blame it on "the left". (edit to add): The FBI could just as easily have scrawled that "anit-ice" on there before taking the picture. I guess messages on bullets is the new trend now.
Another false flag?
Anyone doing stuff like this is doing exactly what's needed to stoke more division so the wealthy can toy with us even more. The wealthy and/or corrupt feds don't care if you commit these acts or die by these acts as long as they can use the even for their own agendas.
For the millionth time, they don't need pretext. They're going to fuck everyone with or without a "reason".
Edit: So I guess ICE is just straight up executing people now?
Fuck this country.
The victims were shot, not the thugs.
They're so fucking desperate for martial law
50-80 years from now real truth will be revealed from some 3 letter agency that put Mr Donald in charge by attempt murder and now continue those "murder" actions to steer American citizens and the global politics on this planet. I see a pattern here. Previously same agency was steering global politics toward sexuality now it's war and murder.
