New video shows ICE agents rushing detainees to safety during Dallas shooting

DALLAS, TEXAS: A video that has gone viral on social media shows Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents ushering detainees to safety during the fatal shooting at a Dallas, Texas, ICE facility on Wednesday, September 24.

Meanwhile, authorities identified Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez of Mexico, Jose Andres Bordones-Molina of Venezuela, and Norlan Guzman-Fuentes as the three detainees who were shot during the attack.

Viral clip shows detainees’ arms and legs were cuffed together

The video, which was obtained by Fox News’ Brooke Taylor, showed ICE agents and detainees taking cover behind the hood of a van before they bolted into the facility.

Moreover, the agents subsequently herded the detainees into the building. The footage showed that the detainees’ arms and legs were cuffed together.

The agents were seen guiding the detainees to safety once inside the building. Law enforcement was then seen leaving the building with their weapons drawn to confront the threat.

Taylor shared the clip on X and captioned it, "Sources share surveillance footage with me of the Dallas ICE facility showing ICE agents taking cover and protecting detainees as bullets fly everywhere. Agents are seen ducking behind two transportation vans while quickly shuffling detainees inside the facility, where an ICE agent frantically guides the shackled detainees down a hallway."

"Officials say they hope people will see that the agents were heroic, clearly willing to risk their lives to save the detainees, rather than focus on dangerous anti-ICE rhetoric. I’ve spoken with sources who are agents at the field office and they say they’re upset, devastated, and frustrated that the public can’t see they are just doing their jobs and protecting the community," the caption further read.

Meanwhile, Officials told Taylor that they "hope people will see that the agents were heroic, clearly willing to risk their lives to save the detainees, rather than focus on dangerous anti-ICE rhetoric."

The alleged shooter was identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.

He allegedly wrote "anti-ICE" on a bullet casing, officials stated.

Vice President JD Vance stated after the attack, "If your political rhetoric encourages violence against law enforcement, you can go straight to hell, and you have no place in the political conversation of the United States of America."

Officials say Dallas shooter's intended target was ICE, not detainees

The person who opened fire on an immigration facility in Texas was targeting ICE agents and did not intend to harm detainees, Officials said. His notes indicated.

A detainee was killed and two others were critically injured after a suspected sniper opened fire at an ICE centre in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday.

Tensions around ICE facilities have escalated in recent months following a Trump administration push to significantly increase deportations as part of a wider crackdown on illegal immigration.

At a news conference on Thursday, September 25, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson said the notes — which contained a "gameplan" for the attack — showed Jahn intended to "maximise lethality against ICE personnel and to maximise property damage at the facility."

"He hoped to minimise any collateral damage or injury to the detainees and any other innocent people," she said.

Larson added, "It seems that he did not intend to kill the detainees or harm them. It is clear from these notes that he was targeting ICE agents and ICE personnel."
