At least three people, including detainees, were shot at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas on Wednesday. The shooter died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, federal authorities said. The incident follows a string of attacks on ICE facilities across the US in recent months.

Who was Dallas ICE facility shooting suspect?

The sniper who killed at least one migrant and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, as per Daily Mail. The incident unfolded shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself. The ICE said in a statement that the sniper ‘fired indiscriminately’.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told CNN that the victims ‘could be employees, it could be civilians that were visiting the facility, it could be detainees.”

“At this point, we’re still working through that.”

Officials confirmed that the suspect left several ‘anti-ICE’ messages where he died.

Noem, meanwhile, tweeted about the possible motive.

“There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas @ICEgov Field Office. Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities. The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Noem wrote on X. “While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop. Please pray for the victims and their families.”
