In a recent report by RedState, the alarming incident involving a police officer's shooting near an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas, has raised significant concerns about the intentions of the perpetrators.
The attack, which occurred on the Fourth of July, involved a group of heavily armed individuals, some clad in body armor and masks, prompting questions about their motives. The officer, fortunately, survived the neck injury and has since been discharged from the hospital.
The group's appearance and actions suggested a more sinister agenda beyond the shooting itself. They were equipped with goggles, masks, and fliers bearing slogans such as "Resist fascism," "fight oligarchy," and "fight ICE terror." This led to speculation about their potential plans for further violence.
Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson confirmed these suspicions, stating, "It was a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers." During a briefing, Larson emphasized that this was not a mere protest but a calculated attack. The situation could have escalated further had their plot succeeded.
Federal authorities described the incident as an "organized ambush," with the assailants dressed in black military-style attire. The attack began with fireworks being detonated outside the federal facility, a tactic reminiscent of a tragic incident in Coeur dAlene, Idaho, where a firefighter was lured and killed.
An Alvarado police officer, responding to reports of suspicious activity, encountered gunfire from one of the assailants. FBI Dallas SAC Rothrock announced charges against ten individuals for their roles in the attack on the Prairieland Detention Center and the wounding of the officer.
While the identities of the assailants remain undisclosed, Larson indicated that ten individuals, along with a co-conspirator, face federal charges, including attempted murder of a federal officer. The potential for long prison sentences looms over these individuals, reflecting the gravity of their actions. As the nation grapples with increasing violence directed at ICE, the call for accountability and justice grows louder.
