Surveillance footage from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas captures the moment federal agents risked their lives to save detainees trapped under sniper fire. The dramatic video, released Friday, shows agents shielding shackled migrants and rushing them to safety inside the facility as bullets struck nearby.
Fox News Dallas reporter Brooke Taylor first posted the footage on social media, noting how agents were seen ducking behind transport vans while frantically ushering detainees into the building. Once inside, video shows agents guiding the migrants down a hallway to a secure location, before several officers reportedly returned outside to aid those injured in the attack.
ICE officials praised the agents’ actions, describing them as “heroic, clearly willing to risk their lives to save the detainees, rather than focus on dangerous anti-ICE rhetoric.” Officials emphasized that the Dallas Field Office is “upset, devastated, and frustrated that the public can’t see they are just doing their jobs and protecting the community.”
Details on casualties remain limited. Reports identify Angel Garcia-Hernandez, a Mexican national with multiple criminal convictions, as critically wounded after sustaining several gunshot injuries. Another migrant, Venezuelan national José Andrés Bordones-Molina, was also struck. The condition of a third man, Norlan Guzman-Fuentes, remains unclear. Guzman-Fuentes reportedly has a history of violent crimes, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and firearm-related charges.
The shooter, who opened fire on the ICE transport van, has not yet been identified publicly. Federal investigators continue to probe the incident, which comes amid escalating attacks and threats targeting ICE personnel across the country.
Officials hope the video sheds light on the daily risks ICE officers face. “Our agents are protecting the community from dangerous criminals,” one official said. “What they did in Dallas was nothing short of courageous.”
