On September 24, 2025, a gunman opened fire at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Dallas, killing at least one detainee and critically wounding others in a brazen early-morning attack that shocked the city and the nation. Law enforcement quickly identified 29-year-old Joshua Jahn as the suspected shooter, whose rampage left a scar on a facility doing the often thankless work of enforcing our laws.
Authorities say Jahn fired from an elevated position at the facility’s sally port, striking people in a transport van before turning the gun on himself; miraculously, no ICE personnel were physically harmed during the assault. The scene reads like a carefully executed sniper attack, and the cowardice of firing into a secured area where officers and detainees were contained is as contemptible as it is calculated.
Investigators recovered chilling evidence at the scene: handwritten notes and unfired casings marked with anti-ICE language, and officials said the suspect had researched Department of Homeland Security sites and even used apps to track ICE agents — all signs this was neither random nor disconnected from an ideology of hatred toward law enforcement. When an attacker plans, studies ballistics and watches personnel movements, that is not mental confusion; it is premeditated political violence aimed at intimidating people who keep our country running.
Let’s be blunt: anyone who reflexively tries to muddy the motive or rushes to bury the obvious political context is doing a disservice to the victims and to the cause of public safety. Conservatives and patriots do not celebrate lawlessness; we demand that the media stop playing defense for the chant-and-veneer activists whose rhetoric feeds real-world violence. Those who equivocate while America bleeds should be called out and held to account.
This attack did not happen in a vacuum — it happened in an atmosphere where ICE and its agents are routinely demonized by the radical left and too many in the national press who treat enforcement of immigration law as an ideological sin. Republican leaders and conservative voices were right to point out that when institutions and officers are dehumanized, some disturbed individuals hear permission to act, and the political fallout since the Dallas shooting has been predictably polarized.
The FBI is investigating this as a targeted act of violence, and federal authorities must pursue every angle aggressively, including domestic terrorism charges where appropriate; softness and slogans will not bring justice. If we mean what we say about protecting Americans, that means beefing up physical security for immigration facilities, prosecuting political violence to the fullest extent, and shoring up the institutions that uphold law and order.
Political leaders who enabled the poisonous narrative against ICE need to stop pretending this is merely a tragic accident of unknown origin and instead answer for the climate they helped create. We should expect common-sense accountability from local officials, the media and elected Democrats who too often normalize anti-law-enforcement talking points while crying crocodile tears after the bodies pile up.
Tonight, hardworking Americans should pray for the victims and the families caught in the crossfire of a violent ideology, and we should stand with the brave men and women who enforce our laws. This country needs courage, clarity and consequences — not hand-wringing and false equivalencies — if we are to protect our communities and preserve the rule of law.
