The anti-ICE movement just kicked up a notch on Friday night in a headline that seems to have been lost in most of the news breaking over the holiday weekend. An Alvarado, Texas, police officer was shot in the neck outside the Prairieland Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility by an armed assailant who was allegedly trying to break into it.

“Zero Tolerance”
The Trump administration is taking a “zero tolerance” approach to attacks like this one against law enforcement. The White House sent that message out following similar incidents occurring in cities such as Portland, Oregon, and others across the country, where there has been backlash against President Trump’s immigration policies.
“We are closely monitoring the attacks on DHS detention facilities in Prairieland, TX, and Portland, OR, and are coordinating with the [US Attorney offices] and our law enforcement partners,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche posted on X.
“The Department [of Justice] has zero tolerance for assaults on federal officers or property and will bring the full weight of the law against those responsible,” he further noted.
Domestic Terrorism in a Deep-Red State
Alvarado is a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas. Several armed suspects were taken into custody after the police were fired upon at about 11 p.m., Friday night, according to Fox News. The police were responding to a report of a suspicious person carrying a gun hanging around the facility.
The officer who was shot attempted to communicate with the person in question, and shots were fired at that point at him by multiple suspects… one of them hit him in the neck. He was flown to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth for treatment and thankfully wound up being released later.
The other armed suspects fled the scene but were apprehended with help from the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office and other authorities, according to Fox Dallas. Some of those arrested were apparently wearing body armor.
Just as concerning is that the suspects allegedly used fireworks to lure police to the detention facility so they could ambush them, according to Breitbart.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported:
Someone with federal law enforcement told KTVT-TV on Saturday that eight suspects were arrested in connection with the incident, including some individuals dressed in body armor. Early reports show that more than a dozen people, wearing masks and black clothing, vandalized security cameras and cars parked outside the detention facility. The group set off fireworks, apparently trying to lure officers to the scene, the source revealed to KTVT.
Sounds a lot like Antifa.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office wrote on Facebook:
Alvarado officer shot while responding to call at detention center.
On Friday, July 4, 2025 around 10:56 p.m., the Alvarado Police Department was dispatched to the 1200 block of Sunflower Lane in reference to a suspicious person.
Officers responded to the scene and observed a suspicious person that appeared to be carrying a firearm. As the first responding officer attempted to engage the person, multiple suspects opened fire on the Officer.
The Officer was struck in the neck by at least one bullet. The officer was flown to Harris Methodist Hospital Ft. Worth, was treated, and released.
The suspects attempted to flee the scene. Officers from the Alvarado Police Department, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, and neighboring agencies took several armed suspects into custody. At this time the motives of the suspects are unclear.
Alvarado Police Department would like to thank the local agencies, the Sheriff’s office, the Texas Rangers, and the Federal law enforcement agencies that continue to provide assistance.
The Texas Rangers, along with the Alvarado Police Department encourage anyone with information in regards to this incident to contact our criminal investigations division at (817) 790-0910.
The Violence is Spreading and Intensifying
All of this happened on Friday night, “while in Oregon, demonstrators clashed with federal officers at the Portland ICE facility after President Trump signed his ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ into law,” according to the New York Post.
There is little information on the shooters being released, and the incident is still being investigated. Authorities say they have not determined a motive yet, but it is obvious that this is an anti-ICE attack. So far, the FBI has not commented on the incident.
Considering that at least eight individuals were arrested and there were more than that at the incident, it leaves little doubt about the violent intentions of the antagonists.
This is nothing less than domestic terrorism and a national security threat. If it is not stopped, officers and/or innocent bystanders will be killed.
Antifa, the Left, and their violent comrades are out of control, and they want bloodshed.
