   Ten people have been arrested on attempted murder charges after attackers   
   in black military-style clothing opened fire outside a Texas immigration   
   detention center in a “planned ambush” that left one police officer   
   wounded, a prosecutor said.   
      
   The officer was shot in the neck on Friday, the night of the Fourth of   
   July, after reporting to the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado,   
   about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southwest of Dallas. He was treated at a   
   hospital and released, the Johnson County Sheriff’s office said.   
      
   The shooting took place as President Donald Trump ’s administration ramps   
   up deportations, which will be turbocharged by a massive spending bill   
   that became law last week.   
      
   Initially, the attackers set off fireworks, and damaged cars and a guard   
   structure by spray-painting “traitor” and ”ICE pig” on them. The attack   
   “seemed to be designed” to draw U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement   
   personnel outside the facility, “and it worked,” Nancy Larson, acting U.S.   
   attorney for the Northern District of Texas, said at a Monday night news   
   conference in Fort Worth.   
      
   Two unarmed corrections officers spoke to the group in the detention   
   center’s parking lot as someone standing in nearby woods appeared to   
   signal with a flashlight, according to a criminal complaint. Then the   
   Alvarado police officer arrived and someone in the woods opened fire,   
   Larson said.   
      
   “Another assailant, who was across the street, nowhere near the   
   corrections officers, shot 20 to 30 rounds at these unarmed corrections   
   officers,” she said. “There was an AR-style rifle found at the scene” that   
   was jammed, she said. A flag saying “Resist fascism, fight oligarchy,” and   
   flyers with words such as “Fight ICE terror with class war” also were   
   recovered near the center.   
      
      
   The group fled. Sheriff’s deputies stopped seven people about 300 yards   
   (275 meters) from where the officer was shot.   
      
   “Some were wearing body armor, some were covered in mud, some were armed,   
   and some had two-way radios on them,” Larson said.   
      
   “It was a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections   
   officers,” she said.   
      
   Sheriff’s deputies also stopped a van leaving the area and found two AR-   
   style rifles and a pistol, along with ballistic-style vests and a helmet,   
   the complaint said.   
      
   The driver, the only person in the van, said he had been at the detention   
   center. He said he had met some people online and drove some of them to   
   the detention center from Dallas to “make some noise,” according to the   
   complaint.   
      
   On Monday, a man with an assault rifle fired dozens of rounds at federal   
   agents and a U.S. Border Patrol facility more than 400 miles (640   
   kilometers) south in McAllen, injuring a police officer. Authorities shot   
   and killed the attacker.   
      
   Asked if the two shootings were connected, Larson said she could not   
   comment because of the ongoing investigation.   
      
   Additional searches in Alvarado led to masks, goggles, tactical gloves,   
   more body armor, weapons, spray paint and fireworks, Larson said.   
      
   An extra layer of protection has been provided for staff at the   
   Prairieland center, said Josh Johnson, the acting Enforcement and Removal   
   Operations field office director in Dallas.   
      
   The 10 men and women, most of them from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, have   
   each been charged with three counts of attempted murder of a federal   
   officer and three counts of discharging a firearm in relation to a crime   
   of violence. Another person was charged with obstruction of justice and   
   conspiracy for attempting to conceal and destroy evidence, Larson said.   
      
   U.S. District Court records do not list names of attorneys representing   
   the group, or scheduled court appearances.   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
