DHS and FBI Warn of Attacks on ICE Facilities
The Department of Homeland Security and FBI issued a joint intelligence bulletin this week warning state and local law enforcement of an escalation in attacks on ICE personnel and facilities by 'domestic violent extremists.' The bulletin links multiple incidents since June 2025 — including a Dallas rooftop sniper attack that wounded detainees (two later died) and a Fourth of July shooting at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas — says investigators have arrested roughly 20 people tied to the Prairieland attack, and urges heightened vigilance amid evidence of pre‑operational surveillance and encrypted planning.
