Dallas Sniper’s Anti-ICE Message: Bullet Points on Target

At 6:40am on a surprisingly violent Wednesday in Dallas, a sniper with a flair for dramatic rooftops turned an ICE facility into a not-so-friendly firing range. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, delivering news with the enthusiasm of a passive-aggressive high school hall monitor, casually noted the shooter was 'down'—because sometimes the drama ends with a self-inflicted exit. One detainee died on the spot while two others hobble around with critical injuries, courtesy of shell casings literally decorated with anti-ICE graffiti. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed, because obviously, who else? Texas Governor Greg Abbott vowed this bloody mess won’t slow deportations, like a cowboy doubling down after his horse bucks. Meanwhile, FBI recognized this as targeted violence but didn’t drop victim names, because it’s not a gossip column. Remember that Alvarado ambush in July? Yep, Texas law enforcement is collecting shootout souvenirs like they’re trading cards.
