A sniper who killed two migrants and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself.
Multiple law enforcement sources named Jahn as the shooter who opened fire from the rooftop of a building adjacent to the ICE detention center.
Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN that the death toll stood at two as of Wednesday afternoon. A third victim was in serious condition.
The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.
Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter's body were engraved with 'anti-ICE messages', and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: 'Anti-ICE.'
The gunman opened fire 'from an elevated position' as migrants were inside the transport van. He is believed to have been found on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney's office, WFAA reported.
Patel said in an X post: 'While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack.
'These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off.'
Witness Arianny Sierra told NBC that she was in her car waiting for her husband to return from an ICE appointment in the facility when she heard shots ring out.
'The shots began at around 6:10 a.m. There were like 20 shots in a row,' she said.
Although the sniper appeared to target migrants in ICE custody, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote on X that the shooting represented an attack on ICE and law enforcement.
'We will continue to do everything in our power to combat the alarming increase of targeted attacks against ICE and all law enforcement by evil, twisted individuals,' Paxton wrote.

At the press conference on Wednesday, Texas Senator Ted Cruz made an impassioned plea for the end of politically motivated violence that has swept the nation in recent times
Cruz continued: 'This is the third shooting in Texas directed at ICE or CBP. This must stop.
'To every politician who is using rhetoric, demonizing ICE, and demonizing CBP. Stop. To every politician demanding that ICE agents be doxed and calling for people to go after their families. Stop. This has very real consequences.
'Look, in America, we disagree. That's fine. That's the democratic process. But your political opponents are not Nazis. We need to learn to work together without demonizing each other, without attacking each other.'
In a possible related incident: Antifa surrounded the ICE facility in Eugene, Oregon in preparation for an attack.
Federal agents arrested some of them:
The left continues doing two contradictory things: They claim that they don't support antifa and that antifa is entirely separate from the Democrat-Media Party while also defending antifa as if they are blood-brothers in the War on the Decent, Normal, and Healthy.

This actually sickens me. An ICE van at an ICE facility was attacked by a person who engraved Anti-ICE into bullets and because the waste of DNA killed non-ICE personnel, it's somehow not an attack on law enforcement.
This is disgusting.
So I don't support Nick Fuentes, which is why you don't see me defending him. I'd defend him from being put on some kind of list for antifa to harm, and I wouldn't support him being framed for a crime, but if Fuentes commits a crime, I'll have little to say in his defense. See, I don't go far out of my way to argue he has a right to commit crimes.
The Democrat-Media Party meanwhile claims to have no affiliation with antifa while absolutely insisting they have a permanent inalienable right to riot and beat the shit out of Christians and conservatives as they please.
