Authorities have made multiple arrests in the recent ambush of officers at a Texas ICE facility.
Eleven people have been arrested in what law enforcement described as a “planned ambush” of corrections officers at an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4.
One Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck during the attack and is expected to survive.
“Early reports indicate that more than a dozen masked individuals dressed in black arrived at the Prairieland ICE detention facility late Friday night and vandalized vehicles and security cameras in the parking lot,” CBS News reported. “The individuals launched fireworks in an apparent effort to lure law enforcement.”
On July 5, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted on X, “We are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the USAOs and our law enforcement partners. The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible.”
On Monday, acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson stated, “We’re here to tell you that late at night on July 4, Friday night at approximately 10:37 p.m. at the Prairieland ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas, ten to twelve individuals dressed in black, military-style clothing, began shooting fireworks and engaging in acts of vandalism at the facility and this was part of an organized attack.”
“Today, my office has charged ten individuals with three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer,” she continued. “Each of the ten are also charged with three counts of discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. Each of these defendants faces a mandatory prison term of ten years and up to life in prison. An additional co-conspirator was charged with an obstruction of justice and conspiracy for attempting to conceal and destroy evidence in relation to the attack, and he faces up to ten years in prison.”
“Let’s discuss the incident,” she continued. “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.”
On Monday, an active shooter armed with tactical gear and a rifle opened fire upon Border Patrol agents as they arrived at a Border Patrol annex facility in McAllen, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley. (RELATED: Active Shooter Killed In Attempt To Ambush Border Patrol Agents)
Agents and local police returned fire and killed the gunman. No federal agents were hit, but one McAllen police officer was struck. Law enforcement sources say the officer is in stable condition.

IT WAS JUST A PEACEFUL PROTEST, MORE DUMBOCRAP TERRIORIST ATTACKS,
All I can say is that is is totally STUPID for these entities to risk their freedom and even their lives, as has beeb proven, on a n issue that they totally fail to understand. These are not “innocent “IMMIMRANTS;” they are definitely NOT ‘”Migrants,” Not only are they IMMIGRANTS, they are ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
These do-gooders, are ignorant of the fact that a great many, and in fact the majority of those who crossed the border while Biden and Kamala were the overseers, are not those who want to come and work and live a peaceful life; these are CRIMINALS and TERRORISTS from almost 300 countries from around the world.
Those who are legitimate and actually want to come to America to work and offer their families a better life, can do so by LEGALLY applying for entrance into the country, and have their means to sustain themselves.
The Biden government spent BILLIONS of taxpayers; s money to support the tens of millions of illegals who poured through the open borders.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris MUST be held accountable for placing American citizens in danger with their dangerous OPEN BORDERS’ policy. I have no doubt that the “ILLEGAL” Obama was at the bottom of this
It is utterly stupid for regular citizens to engage in attempting to stop ICE by killings the officers in the streets doing their job. Not only are these citizens risking their freedom, they are RISKING their as this article proves There is a reason for IMMIGRATION LAWS – ALL countries have them and ENFORCE them. Just try to entering a foreign country and attempting to just settle in and let the government support uou and see what happens.
