The Dallas shooting that left two ICE detainees dead and another critically injured is raising more questions than answers after the suspect’s own brother insisted he wasn’t politically motivated.
Authorities say 29-year-old Joshua Jahn opened fire on an ICE facility Wednesday before taking his own life. Remarkably, no ICE officers were injured in the attack. But investigators recovered bullets with “anti-ICE messages” scrawled on them near Jahn’s body, suggesting hostility toward the agency.
His older brother, Noah Jahn, told NBC News he never saw signs that Joshua opposed federal immigration enforcement or cared much about politics at all. “He didn’t have strong feelings about ICE as far as I knew,” Noah said, adding that his brother was unemployed and planning to move back to their parents’ property in Oklahoma. Noah emphasized Joshua had little firearm experience, noting, “He would not be able to make any shots like that.”
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem called the shooting a “vile attack” and directly linked it to rhetoric surrounding ICE. “For months, we’ve been warning politicians and the media to tone down their rhetoric about ICE law enforcement before someone was killed. This shooting must serve as a wake-up call to the far-left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences.”
The incident follows another alarming case at the same facility just weeks earlier. On August 25, a Texas man, 36-year-old Bratton Dean Wilkinson, was arrested after showing up with a backpack he claimed contained a bomb. A bomb squad later determined the threat was a hoax, and Wilkinson was charged with making terroristic threats.
For ICE and DHS, the Dallas shooting marks an escalation in violence targeting immigration facilities—a tragedy that leaves families mourning, officials on edge, and a community searching for answers.
