The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Thursday that the agency will be bolstering security at its field offices and facilities in the wake of a shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas on Wednesday that left one detainee dead and two injured.

“In light of the horrific shooting that was motivated by hatred for ICE and the other unprecedented acts of violence against ICE law enforcement, including bomb threats, cars being used a weapons, rocks and Molotov cocktails thrown at officers, and doxing online of officers’ families, DHS will immediately begin increasing security at ICE facilities across the country,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to The Epoch Times.
