Dallas ICE Shooting: Who Was Joshua Jahn, the Gunman Behind the Deadly Atatack?

Well here we go again —another grim chapter in the ongoing saga of violence targeting our law enforcement. Sources have fingered 29-year-old Joshua Jahn as the shooter who unleashed hell on a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, leaving one dead, two wounded, and a whole lot of questions.

Here's the rundown: Jahn, allegedly perched on a nearby rooftop, opened fire on the ICE building, spraying bullets "indiscriminately," according to the Department of Homeland Security. 

He didn't stop there. The leftist also targeted an unmarked van in the sally port, where three detainees got caught in the crossfire. One didn't make it. Around 7 a.m., Jahn, an obvious coward, turned the gun on himself, leaving behind a rifle and a chilling message. FBI Director Kash Patel shared a photo on X of rifle ammo clipped together, etched with an "anti-ICE" slogan that says it all. We can thank the leftstream media for the latest violence.

The scene was pure chaos. Law enforcement swarmed the area, and the FBI is now digging into what drove the socialist to this. Records suggest he might've been staying in Durant, Oklahoma, but as Dallas Police Chief David Comeaux told FOX 4, "That's what we are looking into." 

So it's pretty clear that they're still piecing this mess together.

Inscribes bullets a la Tyler Robinson

Attacking ICE facilities isn't new. Just two months ago, miles away in Alvarado, Texas, another ICE facility got ambushed, with 16 people charged after an officer was shot responding to vandalism. Sound like a pattern? FBI Director Patel sure thinks so. "These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off," he said. "It has to end, and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to ensure that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice."

Texas AG Ken Paxton called the Dallas attack "yet another despicable assault on law and order." He laid into the left, saying, "The epidemic of leftist political violence must end. Democrats have fostered an environment of evil, emboldening radicals to kill, steal, and destroy. But we will never surrender." 

The gauntlet has been thrown.

Governor Greg Abbott doubled down, vowing that Texas won't back off immigration enforcement. "The shooter's actions will NOT slow our arrest, detention, & deportation of illegal immigrants," he said. "We will work with ICE & the Dallas Police Department to get to the bottom of the assassin’s motive." 

It isn't just Texas officials sounding the alarm. Vice President JD Vance called for an end to "obsessive attacks" on law enforcement, particularly ICE. 

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took it further, slamming the rhetoric that paints ICE as the bad guy. "These horrendous killings must serve as a wake-up call to the far left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences," she wrote on X. "Comparing ICE day in and day out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences. The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer."

Former FBI special agent Nicole Parker broke it all down on Fox News' The Faulkner Focus, giving the latest on this tragedy. Meanwhile, the investigation is just getting started, and the nation is watching. One thing is clear: this isn't just about one shooter or one rooftop. It's about a deeper divide, and it's getting uglier by the day.

What's your prognosis for the nation?
