"Just before 7:00 a.m. last Wednesday, Joshua Jahn, a 29-year-old American, opened fire on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices in Dallas, Texas. Shortly afterward, Norlan Guzman Fuentes, a 37-year-old Salvadoran detained at the facility, died. Miguel Angel Garcia Hernandez, a 31-year-old Mexican, was taken to Parkland Hospital with multiple gunshot wounds that tore through his body and left him in critical condition."
"On Saturday, Trump announced his order to send troops and use full force to protect the city of Portland, Oregon, and in particular the ICE facility, allegedly under siege by Antifa and other domestic terrorists. In the absence of evidence of attacks or riots in the northwestern U.S. city, widely known as a progressive bastion, the deadly attack in Dallas served as proof of the need to deploy the military."
"Nearly a week later, the information provided by the Donald Trump administration about the deceased migrant or the two injured men has been minimal and has come in dribs and drabs. The Republican administration has instead focused on portraying immigration agents as victims and framing the incident as part of a campaign of attacks against the agency charged with carrying out the largest deportation in history, as promised by the president. Little has been said about the affected migrants and their families, who in recent days have recounted the pain and uncertainty they are experiencing following the attack."
Just before 7:00 a.m. last Wednesday, Joshua Jahn, 29, opened fire on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) offices in Dallas, Texas. Norlan Guzman Fuentes, a 37-year-old Salvadoran detainee, died. Miguel Angel Garcia Hernandez, 31, and Jose Andres Bordones Molina were wounded; Garcia Hernandez sustained multiple critical gunshot wounds and was hospitalized at Parkland. Jahn stated his intent to cause terror among immigration agents, although no agents were shot. The Trump administration has released sparse information about the migrant victims and emphasized immigration agents as victims, framing the incident within a wider narrative of attacks on the agency. The president ordered troops to protect ICE facilities, citing the Dallas shooting to justify deployments.
