The Department of Justice (DOJ) has thrown the book at ten far-left extremists who allegedly carried out a violent, premeditated attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, on July 4th. These radicals, dressed in black and armed with rifles, body armor, and anti-government propaganda, opened fire on law enforcement, leaving a local police officer wounded with a gunshot to the neck. Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson left no room for interpretation: “It was a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers. Make no mistake. This was not a so-called peaceful protest.”
The liberal media, ever eager to downplay left-wing violence, has largely ignored the severity of this attack while obsessing over any right-leaning demonstration. But the facts are undeniable—this was an act of domestic terrorism. According to the DOJ complaint, the suspects arrived with AR-15-style rifles, loaded magazines, and even radios for coordination. One suspect admitted to bringing people he met online to the facility to “make some noise.” Meanwhile, another was found with a backpack full of flyers reading “fight ICE terror with class war” and “free all political prisoners.”
This attack didn’t happen in a vacuum. It follows weeks of escalating anti-ICE riots, which began in California and have since spread nationwide. The Trump administration has already charged over 20 individuals in connection with these violent demonstrations, proving once again that President Trump will not tolerate lawlessness. While the left and their media allies scream about “peaceful protests,” the reality is far uglier—leftist extremists are waging war on law enforcement and our immigration system.
And the violence didn’t stop in Alvarado. Just days later, a gunman attacked a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, before being shot dead by agents. The pattern is clear: The far-left has declared open season on ICE and Border Patrol, emboldened by the weak-kneed rhetoric of Democrats and their media enablers.

President Trump, however, refuses to back down. His administration has made it clear that attacks on law enforcement will be met with the full force of the law. While the left cries about “oppression,” the DOJ is ensuring these domestic terrorists face justice—with charges ranging from attempted murder to aiding and abetting, carrying maximum sentences of life in prison.
