- The Dallas ICE facility shooting on September 24, 2025, left one detainee dead and two injured.
- The suspected gunman, Joshua Jahn, died by suicide and was not known to be politically active.
- The FBI is investigating the attack as “targeted violence” after finding “ANTI-ICE” messages on shell casings.
On the morning of September 24, 2025, a shooting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas, Texas, resulted in one detainee’s death and two others critically wounded. The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died from a self-inflicted gunshot.
The FBI is investigating the incident as “targeted violence,” citing “anti-ICE” messages found on shell casings, sparking intense political debate.
Who Was the Suspect, Joshua Jahn?
Joshua Jahn, 29, had connections to Dallas suburbs and Durant, Oklahoma. Public records show a minor marijuana-related offense in 2015, resulting in probation.
Friends and his brother, Noah Jahn, described him as an avid gamer without strong political views, making the anti-ICE messaging linked to the attack unexpected. He had attended college classes and worked in renewable energy and legal cannabis sectors.

The Attack: A Timeline of Violence
At around 6:40 a.m. local time, Jahn, armed with a rifle, opened fire from a nearby rooftop onto the ICE facility’s sally port. Three detainees inside a transport van were hit. Jahn later died by a self-inflicted gunshot as law enforcement approached. Investigators found his vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, containing a mysterious map related to radioactive fallout.
‘Anti-ICE’ Messages and the Political Firestorm
FBI Director Kash Patel released an image of a shell casing marked “ANTI-ICE,” indicating a possible ideological motive. The evidence triggered immediate political responses: President Donald Trump and Republican leaders blamed left-wing rhetoric for the violence, while some Democrats urged restraint, stressing a complete investigation and advocating for less divisive language.
The Victims and the Aftermath
The victims were undocumented detainees awaiting transfer to a longer-term facility. One died at the scene; two were critically injured, including a Mexican national.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced plans to recruit more ICE agents and law enforcement personnel. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons described the attack as his “worst nightmare.”
