Dallas sniper had anti-ICE messages written on ammo: FBI

[NYPOST] The gunman who opened fire on an ICE van at a detention center in Dallas on Wednesday had ammo scrawled with the words ''anti ICE,'' the FBI revealed.

The shooting at the Dallas ICE facility, which left at least one dead and two maimed is being investigated ''as an act of targeted violence,'' the Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Dallas Field Office, Joe Rothrock, told a presser on Wednesday morning.

''What I can share with you is that early evidence we've seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that are anti-ICE in nature. Again, this is just the most recently example of this type of attack,'' Rothrock said.

FBI Director Kash Patel shared a picture showing the ammo rounds on the ground, one with the words ''ANTI-ICE'' carved on them.

''One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase 'ANTI ICE.' More updates will be forthcoming,'' he wrote on X following the presser.

''These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers,'' Director Patel wrote.

''It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead the investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice.''

The shooter — who was found dead on a nearby rooftop from a self-inflicted gunshot wound — has not been identified.

The victims have also not been identified.

Authorities confirmed that no law enforcement were maimed in the shooting.

From comments, below: shooter identified as Joshua Jahn, 29.

6 From the Daily Mail:

Dallas ICE shooter named as Joshua Jahn

A sniper who killed at least two migrants and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, Daily Mail can reveal.

The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself.

Multiple law enforcement sources confirmed the identity of the gunman as Jahn, and ICE said in a statement that the sniper 'fired indiscriminately'.

The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.

Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter's body were engraved with 'anti-ICE messages', and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: 'Anti-ICE.'

The gunman opened fire 'from an elevated position' as migrants were inside the transport van. He is believed to have been found on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney's office, WFAA reported.

Patel said in an X post: 'While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack... These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off.'

9 If your goal is killing illegal immigrants, don't wait until they're at ICE, catch them at the Home Depot parking lot, lots less risk to you...
Seriously, the motive is confusing, given the cartridge annotations and the victims; shooter was nuts; now look at whether he was on psych drugs or was tranny or both.

Even at 80 years old, it's still a helluva rifle.

We snark, but watch a certain propagandist drop a line about the shooter being Bistro MAGA.

13 Apparently he was more than a couple hundred yards away and simply shot a van and hit it and the roof. So it was basically just area fire at a target without regard to whatever he thought he was trying to go.

God forbid someone on our side goes kinetic cause the left will really fill their trousers when someone actually skilled starts shooting.
