ICE Officer Shot In Texas Detention Attack; 11 Face Terror, Attempted Murder Charges

Federal prosecutors say a July 4 attack outside ICE’s Prairieland detention facility in Alvarado, Texas involved fireworks, vandalism and gunfire that wounded an officer. Eleven suspects tied to a Dallas anti-fascist network face attempted murder and terrorism-related charges, with additional arrests for aiding and evidence tampering. Authorities recovered AR-15-style rifles and shell casings; one suspect, a former Marine reservist, allegedly trained activists in firearms. Officials cite the incident amid a broader 2025 rise in assaults and threats against ICE officers as enforcement intensifies.
