In my experience, ICE melts in the heatWASHINGTON — Nearly a dozen violent assailants equipped with tactical gear and weapons attacked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4, shooting a local law enforcement officer in the process. The officer is expected to recover.
The attack, which occurred just days before an armed activist shot a U.S. Border Patrol official in McAllen, Texas, was coordinated to vandalize the facility and disrupt operations there.
The FBI has arrested 10 of the 11 suspects, and the Johnson County Sheriff has confirmed that each now face local charges of terrorism, aggravated assault on a public servant with a deadly weapon, or aggravated assault with a deadly weapon against a peace officer. The final suspect is still at large.
On July 2, a man repeatedly rammed an ICE vehicle with his car in Linda Vista, California, before three activists attacked agents.

The suspects ignited the fireworks in an effort to draw corrections workers outside the secure facility.
“And it worked,” Larson said, describing what sounded like a well-coordinated attack on the facility and its employees.
As two unarmed correctional employees went outside to talk to the group, an Alvarado police officer arrived at the scene.
The officer was shot in the neck by one of the suspects who stood in the wooded area near the detention center, according to the complaint. The officer suffered a non-life-threatening injury during the incident, officials said.
Then the person in the woods opened fire on the officers, according to the complaint. It was estimated in the complaint that 20 to 30 rounds were fired.
