Live updates: Dallas ICE facility shooting leaves multiple people injured
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on September 24, 2025
This morning’s shooting marked at least the third instance of an Immigration Customs and Border Protection facility being targeted by gunfire in Texas this year.
On August 25, 36-year-old Bratton Dean Wilkinson arrived at the Dallas ICE facility and “claimed to have a bomb in his backpack,” according to a Department of Homeland Security statement. A shelter-in-place order was issued and local police responded with a bomb squad. The suspect was later arrested.
Other incidents: On July 4, a group of assailants targeted the Prairieland Detention Center near Fort Worth, Texas, in what authorities described as a coordinated attack that left a local police officer shot in the neck. The officer survived, and more than a dozen people have been charged for their alleged roles in the attack.
Days later, a 27-year-old man with a rifle and tactical gear was killed by police after he opened fire on a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas. Two officers and a Border Patrol employee were injured, and dozens of rounds were exchanged between the shooter and law enforcement.
