Victims Identified, Tragic Details Emerge in Dallas ICE Facility Attack

Three detainees shot during this week’s attack on the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas have been identified as Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez of Mexico, Jose Andres Bordones-Molina of Venezuela, and Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, according to sources familiar with the ongoing investigation. The gunman, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene.

Authorities believe Jahn harbored a deep “hatred for the federal government” and intended to target ICE personnel and property. However, in a tragic twist, all three victims were detainees awaiting transfer or deportation. Nancy Larson, acting US attorney for the Northern District of Texas, underscored this irony, stating, “The tragic irony for his evil plot here is that it was a detainee who was killed and two other detainees that were injured.”

Garcia-Hernandez, a father with a child on the way and the sole provider for his family, is currently on life support after being shot multiple times. His brother, Fernando Gutiérrez, expressed little hope for his recovery. The other two victims, Bordones-Molina and Guzman-Fuentes, also sustained injuries in the Wednesday attack, which saw the gunman fire at the facility’s fortified sally port from a nearby roof.

While investigators continue to piece together the full picture, immigration attorney Jaime Barron highlighted the need to focus on the human impact of the tragedy. “These were human beings, and they were killed and severely hurt while being under the protection of the US government,” Barron emphasized, urging a broader conversation that includes the victims’ humanity.
