Sniper Attack at Dallas ICE Facility Claims Second Victim, Sparks Political Violence Fears

A second victim in a sniper attack at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement office has died. The incident has raised concerns about escalating political violence in the U.S., following a similar incident in Utah. The shooter, who acted alone, died of a self-inflicted gunshot.

A second man has succumbed to injuries inflicted by a sniper in a shooting incident at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office, officials confirmed on Tuesday. The deceased, 32-year-old Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, was a house painter who came to the U.S. as a child.

The attack on September 24 claimed the life of another detainee on the spot, while a third remains hospitalized. The shooting follows the recent killing of Charlie Kirk at a Utah event, fueling concerns about a surge in political violence across the United States.

The sniper, identified as Joshua Jahn, acted alone and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities report Jahn left notes detailing his motives, accusing ICE of 'human trafficking' and stating intent to 'terrorize' agents. No government personnel were harmed in the incident.
