11 Arrested For Plotting ‘Ambush’ To ‘Kill ICE Corrections Officers’—
Eleven people have been arrested in what law enforcement described as a “planned ambush” of corrections officers at an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4.
One Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck during the attack and is expected to survive.
“Early reports indicate that more than a dozen masked individuals dressed in black arrived at the Prairieland ICE detention facility late Friday night and vandalized vehicles and security cameras in the parking lot,” CBS News reported. “The individuals launched fireworks in an apparent effort to lure law enforcement.”
On July 5, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted on X, “We are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the USAOs and our law enforcement partners. The Department has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible.”
