Attacks against border and immigration officers have been rising recently. Earlier, in August 2025, the facility was targeted by a bomb threat. A man walked into the facility claiming to have a bomb in his backpack. A bomb squad was called and the suspect was arrested. In July, another Texas detention facility was targeted in a coordinated attack by a group of assailants, leaving a police officer shot in the neck.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz said, responding to the incident, “We are praying for the swift recovery of those injured, and we are deeply grateful to the brave first responders who rushed to the scene.” He added that he was “closely monitoring the situation at the ICE Detention Facility in Dallas.”

Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident, along with the FBI. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available. [Rh/Eth/DS]
