Shooting at Dallas ICE Facility Leaves Two Detainees Dead, Shooter Identified
A gunman opened fire at a Dallas ICE facility, resulting in the deaths of two detainees and the shooter. Authorities are investigating the incident as a targeted act of violence.
On September 24, 2025, a gunman opened fire at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Field Office in Dallas, Texas, resulting in the deaths of two detainees and the shooter. The incident occurred around 6:40 a.m. local time, when the assailant fired from an elevated position outside the facility, targeting the secure transport area where detainees were being moved.
The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as law enforcement closed in. No ICE personnel or law enforcement officers were injured during the attack.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Joseph Rothrock stated that the FBI is investigating the incident as an act of targeted violence. Authorities are examining shell casings recovered at the scene, some of which bore anti-ICE messages, to determine the shooter's motive.
The two injured detainees were transported to local hospitals; one remains in critical condition. The identities of the victims have not been released pending notification of next of kin.
This incident follows a bomb threat at the same ICE facility in late August, highlighting ongoing security concerns at immigration enforcement locations.
