A dead detainee, two injured in Dallas Ice’s office
According to the Ministry of Internal Security of Immigration and Customs, three detainees were slaughtered in an immigration and customs center in Dallas.
Here is what we know:
One person is dead and two other people are in critical condition, according to the DHS. No ice officer was injured, said Dallas police at a press conference.
The shooter, who was found dead with an injury by self-inflicted firearm, was identified as Joshua Jahn, according to several senior officials of the application of investigation laws.
A bullet found near the shooter wore messages that were “anti-ice nature,” said Joe Rothrock, the special agent of the Dallas FBI office at a press conference. He added that the attack was an act of “targeted violence”.
The reaction:
- President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that he was “despicable” that shell envelopes wore anti-glazing messages, blaming “radical democrats”. Vice-president JD Vance described the shooter as “left extremist violent” during an event in North Carolina.
- Senator Chris Van Hollen, D-MD, said “to meet the press now” that he was “unacceptable” for Trump and Vance “to try to exploit these terrible tragedies for political purposes”.
- Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that “violence with political motivation is wrong” and called on politicians to stop “to use diabolistic rhetoric of ice and demonizing” customs and border protection.
- The representative of the State of Texas, Rafael AnchΓa, a democrat who represents part of the county of Dallas, told NBC News in a press release that “we will not allow this moment to be exploited for the division or the premature blame.”

Trump’s sound and fury
Analysis by Andrea Mitchell
New York – The surprising change of President Donald Trump on the Ukraine War after an unusually friendly meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked European leaders: is it real? Or is it only a tactic for Russian President Vladimir Putin to finally negotiate?
A key factor in play here is Trump’s annoyance with Putin for having increased her Ukraine bombing after Trump’s premature victory tour at their Alaska summit last month.
The question now: will Trump put his words in action? A senior Ukrainian official told me that the best way to tighten Putin’s economy would be to sanction large Russian banks that still operate freely. This would have more impact than waiting for the Congress to adopt sanctions against China, the largest Russian oil buyer, or hopes that the European Union is overcoming the opposition to the tightening of the economic node on the allies of Putin in Hungary and Slovakia.
The commentary out of the Trump’s blow that NATO countries are expected to shoot Russian planes that also venture into their airspace also in conflict with the comments of its Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who, hours earlier, rejected the incursions.
Whether real or transient, the change of Trump on Ukraine reassured the European allies. But that did not erase his dismay on Trump’s long speech to the United Nations General Assembly yesterday, according to several participants. Visit delegates found remarks loaded with grips of Trump extremely disturbing. Diplomats burst on his insults on their policies on migration and climate change, as to call green energy policies a scam and the riffing on the danger of windmills.
Many delegates have also been offended to be dressed by the American president about their immigration policies when he was boasting “I am really good in this kind” and said that the United States is the “warmest country in the world”. Diplomats and world leaders are not used to being informed that their countries “go to hell”.
Their resentment was mixed with a ridiculous on Trump’s complaints not to be hired to renovate the UN seat; He even reprimanded them that they could have had a real marble and mahogany instead of imitations. Many agree with its complaint that the UN is ineffective. But his current crisis was exacerbated by the billions of billions that Trump cut from the UN budget, paralyzing help, health and climate.
Finally, the UN said that the Escalator Trump complained to stop because a White House videographer had mistakenly triggered an emergency brake. And the UN said that the White House operated a defective telepromote during Trump’s speech.
However, Trump has a unique power, as evidenced by the closure of most of Midtown Manhattan to the circulation of vehicles while he was in the city, even barricade pedestrian passages before his motorcycles. A pedestrian taken in this blockade was another president, Emmanuel Macron, France. New cameras captured him by calling on New York to let him cross. A mortified police officer said to him: “I’m sorry, president, I’m really sorry, it’s just that everything is frozen right now.” This did not prevent Macron from getting Trump on his mobile phone and taking advantage of me to discuss him from Gaza and attack by Israel against Qatar.
