Ten individuals have been charged with attempted murder for ambushing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Texas on July 4. Attackers drew agents out of the Alvarado detention center using fireworks and vandalizing vehicles, leading to a shooting incident where a police officer was hit in the neck. Armed with tactical gear, the assailants fired 20 to 30 rounds at unarmed ICE officers. Federal prosecutors categorized the attack as part of a broader trend of violence against law enforcement, and 11 individuals in total have been implicated in the incident.
Ten people have been charged with attempted murder after allegedly ambushing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Texas on 4 July, using fireworks to lure them out.
Federal prosecutors described the ambush as a planned attack on ICE correction officers, with attackers unloading between 20 and 30 rounds against unarmed officers during the incident.
Nancy Larson, US attorney for the northern district of Texas, emphasized that the ambush was not a peaceful protest, calling it an egregious attack on law enforcement.
Local law enforcement apprehended the assailants near the scene, finding them in two vehicles with tactical vests and weapons, indicating preparation for violence.
