Dallas, Sept 26 (V7N) – Federal investigators have revealed that the suspected gunman in the attack on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas acted alone and intended to inflict “real terror” on federal agents, authorities said Thursday.
 
Handwritten notes recovered from 29-year-old Joshua Jahn’s home expressed a deep “hatred for the federal government” and outlined a “gameplan of the attack,” according to Nancy Larson, acting U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas. Jahn reportedly wished to “terrorize ICE employees and interfere with their work,” which he described as combating human trafficking, while attempting to “minimize any collateral damage or injury to the detainees.”
 
Despite these stated intentions, the attack on Sept. 24 resulted in the death of a detainee and critically injured two others. No law enforcement officers were harmed. Authorities found Jahn dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Larson described the outcome as a “tragic irony for his evil plot.”
 
The gunman fired from a nearby rooftop at vehicles carrying ICE agents and detainees, and also discharged multiple shots into the ICE office building, which functions as both a field office and a detainee processing center.
 
The release of Jahn’s notes comes a day after the shooting. Initially, authorities only noted an unspent shell casing found near Jahn’s body, marked with the phrase “ANTI-ICE,” according to FBI Director Kash Patel.
 
Larson confirmed that Jahn claimed full responsibility, writing, “Yes, it was just me and my brain.” Investigators found no evidence linking him to any group or organized entity. Jahn also allegedly wrote, “good luck with the digital footprint,” which authorities interpret as an attempt to delete evidence from his devices.
 
The attack adds to rising national concerns over politically motivated violence, coming two weeks after conservative activist and Trump ally Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during a public event at a Utah university.
 
Following the Dallas incident, ICE facilities nationwide are increasing security measures to protect staff and detainees.
