In a shocking attack over the holiday weekend, radical anti-border enforcement terrorists launched a coordinated ambush on an ICE detention facility.

Ten suspects have been arrested and charged with attempted murder of federal officers after what authorities describe as a premeditated plan to lure and kill law enforcement personnel.
The attack left one police officer shot in the neck and represents a disturbing escalation in violence against those protecting the borders.
Federal prosecutors announced charges against 10 individuals following the attack at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, approximately 25 miles south of Fort Worth.
The suspects face three counts each of attempted murder of a federal officer and three counts of discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence, with potential sentences ranging from 10 years to life in prison.
The attack began on July 4th when 10-12 individuals dressed in black military-style clothing initiated their assault by shooting fireworks at the facility.
According to investigators, the group deliberately used vandalism and anti-ICE graffiti to draw officers outside, where armed accomplices were waiting.
Acting US Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson stated:
“Let’s discuss this incident: It was a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers. Make no mistake, this was not a so-called peaceful protest. It was, indeed, an ambush.”
The attackers’ strategy was particularly cold. They spray-painted vehicles with messages like “traitor” and “ice pig” to provoke a response from facility personnel.
“Another assailant who was across the street, nowhere near the corrections officers, shot 20 to 30 rounds at these unarmed corrections officers,” Larson revealed.
An Alvarado police officer responding to the scene was shot in the neck during the attack but has since been treated and released from the hospital.
Fortunately, no ICE facility employees were injured in the incident.
When authorities apprehended the suspects, they discovered a trove of incriminating evidence.
Officers found body armor, tactical gear, spray paint, anti-ICE flyers, and a flag with anti-fascist messages.

Search warrants executed later revealed masks, goggles, tactical gloves, weapons, and what officials described as “insurrectionist material.”
In addition, two AR-15 rifles were recovered at the scene, including one that had jammed during the attack, potentially preventing further bloodshed.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office also stopped a vehicle whose driver was found with two guns and a Kevlar vest.
“This was an egregious attack on federal and local law enforcement officers, and it is part of an increasing trend of violence against them. This will not be tolerated…” Larson declared.
One of the detained individuals, identified as Bradford Morris, claimed he had met the group online and had merely transported them to the detention center to “make a little noise.”
This attempted downplaying of a clearly coordinated attack underscores the deceptive tactics employed by anti-border enforcement radicals.
An eleventh suspect faces separate charges of obstruction of justice and conspiracy for allegedly attempting to destroy evidence related to the attack.
Meanwhile, the FBI has designated this investigation as a priority and is seeking the public’s assistance with any additional information about the incident.
Joe Rothrock, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Dallas Office, emphasized the severity of the situation:
“This investigation is a priority for the FBI and we’ve dedicated significant resources. We committed to identifying and holding accountable all those responsible for this attack.”
As authorities work tirelessly to uphold the integrity of the law, those who defy justice will be met with the full force of the American legal system.
The assault marks the fifth attack on law enforcement in northern Texas this year alone, highlighting the growing danger faced by those who protect communities and borders.
