Summary
Honored by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, two ICE officers and a staff member said the 2025 sniper attack on the Dallas field office reflects a broader rise in threats facing ICE personnel nationwide.
Seventeen shots were fired from a nearby rooftop, and officer Marco Solis said bullets tore through walls before staff realized they were under active attack.
Detainees were hit by gunfire, and officer Andres Goche said he and others pulled wounded people from a transport van into a makeshift triage area inside the facility.
Eighteen-year federal veteran Solis said he has never seen conditions this violent or volatile, while both officers said threats now increasingly extend to ICE employees' families.
The officers also pushed back on public perceptions of ICE, saying hostility is fueled by misinformation and insisting their actions in Dallas showed the humanity behind the badge.
