Multiple media outlets, including the Daily Mail and Fox News, have announced that the sniper who opened fire on a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility early Wednesday morning has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29.
Authorities have stated that the gunman was on the roof of a law firm building behind the ICE facility, and fired into an unmarked van with an ATF driver that was bringing detainees to the facility around 6:40 a.m.
The shooter reportedly shot three people in the van, killing one, and then turned the gun on himself, and died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The other two people shot were reportedly rushed to the hospital.
DHS announced in an update that TWO of the victims are now dead, and the third is in the hospital in critical condition. In addition, the gunman is dead.
This morning, a deranged gunman attacked a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Dallas field office from a nearby rooftop. The shooter fired indiscriminately at the ICE building, as well as at a van in the sallyport where the victims were shot.
Three detainees were shot. Two are deceased, and the other is in critical condition. The gunman was found with a self-inflicted gun wound.
We can confirm, the shell casings were found with anti-ICE messages on them. This was an attack on ICE law enforcement.
This horrific attack occurred amidst the 1000% increase in assaults against @ICEgov. Politicians and media pundits must stop the vile lies and smears designed to demonize and dehumanize ICE law enforcement. This shooting must serve as a wake-up call to the far-left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences.
DHS is working with partner agencies on the ground. Please join us in praying for the victims and their families. President Trump and @Sec_Noem stand with the men and women of ICE.

Independent Journalist Laura Loomer reported on X:
I did a background check on Joshua Jahn, the ICE shooter in Dallas, Texas. Joshua Jahn’s profile picture from his now-wiped Facebook page per the background check results reveals ANTIFA and communist imagery. The profile photo is of an armed communist with the hammer and sickle.
The text reads GLORIOUS EXPOSITION, COMRADE.
He also has a previous conviction for selling Marijuana. Proof this was Leftist political violence against ICE officers. @ICEgov @DHSgov @TriciaOhio

“It appears the ICE shooter Joshua Jahn used a 1903 Springfield in .30-06. Gee. I wonder where he got his inspiration from? This was his Facebook profile picture, as I previously reported,” Loomer added.

Loomer also revealed that Jahn voted Democrat in the 2020 primary election.
Here’s a copy of Joshua Jahn’s voter registration in Texas.
As was reported by @CurrentRevolt, Jahn voted Democrat in the 2020 Democrat primary in Texas.
This is without a doubt Leftist Political Violence. pic.twitter.com/8KWWlSkicq

Far-left podcaster Keith Olbermann tried to argue, writing, “Except the victims were detainees, Laura Liar.”
Loomer fired back, “Because the shooter likely spent too much time playing video games and watching ANTIFA videos. He probably thought being a sniper was as easy as it looks in video games. He was a bad shot. He permanently deported the illegals instead of killing the ICE agents. Then he killed himself like a “good comrade”. Democrats are terrorists.”

Other images of Jahn are circulating on social media, as internet sleuths dig into his profile:
Another fucking LIBERAL shooting.
