Sniper Opens Fire From Rooftop on Dallas ICE Field Office, Killing One Detainee and Critically Wounding Two
On the morning of September 24, 2025, a sniper opened fire from the rooftop of a nearby building on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, shooting three detainees, one of whom died and two of whom were critically wounded, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that day.
According to the statement, the gunman fired indiscriminately at the office building and also struck a van in the facility's sallyport. The gunman was later found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Shell casings recovered at the scene carried anti-ICE messages, the department said, adding that details of the attack, including the motive, remained under investigation.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said in the statement that the vile attack was motivated by hatred for ICE. She said ICE law enforcement officers were facing unprecedented violence directed at them and that political rhetoric against ICE had to stop.
The department also noted that the same facility had received a bomb threat in August 2025, when Bratton Dean Wilkinson, a 36-year-old U.S. citizen who claimed to have a bomb in his backpack, was arrested at the entrance to the office.
