On September 25, 2025, FBI Director Kash Patel shared shocking details about 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who attacked an ICE office in Dallas.
Jahn researched apps to track ICE agents in August 2025. He also downloaded a list of Department of Homeland Security locations, showing clear pre-attack planning.
Attack Shakes Dallas
On September 24, Jahn opened fire from a rooftop at an ICE facility in northwest Dallas. He killed one detainee and injured two others.
No ICE agents were harmed at the site, which processes detainees, not houses them. After the attack, Jahn took his own life, leaving a bullet marked “ANTI-ICE” and a note aiming to terrify ICE agents.
Ties to Wider Violence
The shooting follows the recent killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah, which Jahn studied online.
Linked to President Trump’s tough immigration policies, the attack has sparked fears of rising political violence across the U.S.
Leaders Speak Out
On Truth Social, Trump pointed fingers at “left-wing radicals,” claiming they fuel anti-ICE sentiment. He vowed to issue an executive order targeting “domestic terror networks.”
Democratic House leaders denounced the attack, urging unity. They called for leaders to calm tensions, not add fuel to division.
Family in Shock
Jahn’s brother, Noah, from McKinney, Texas, said he had no clue about Joshua’s anti-ICE views or political motives. Authorities haven’t tied Jahn to any groups yet, making his actions puzzling.
Growing U.S. Tensions
This attack joins a wave of political violence hitting both conservative and liberal figures. In 2024, Trump survived two assassination attempts, adding to national unease.
The Dallas shooting highlights a troubling trend of targeted attacks, raising concerns about safety and stability.
Call for Action
The FBI is urging anyone with information on Jahn’s activities to come forward. The case underscores the need to address political extremism and protect public spaces from such threats.
As investigations continue, the nation grapples with how to heal and prevent further violence.
