The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement after a suspect opened fire on a Dallas-area ICE office where detainees were gunned down. Conflicting reports have emerged since the news broke, and the typical propagators of fake news, such as Vice President J.D. Vance, were out in force on social media.
In the statement, it says, “Three detainees were shot. Two are deceased, and the other is in critical condition.” However, just a couple of sentences later, it reads, “This was an attack on ICE law enforcement.”
Just beneath that is a photo of the alleged suspect’s shell casings, where “Anti-ICE” is written across one of them. That, too, is suspicious since we don’t say, “Anti-ICE!” We say fuck ICE.
“Our prayers are with the families of those killed and our ICE law enforcement,” Kristi Noem said. “This vile attack was motivated by hatred for ICE. For months, we’ve been warning politicians and the media to tone down their rhetoric about ICE law enforcement before someone was killed.”
