Anti-ICE gunman Joshua Jahn carefully plotted his assault on immigration officers before taking up a sniper position on a Dallas rooftop, and expressed a desire to instill “terror” in agents, new information released by the FBI reveals.
A handwritten note recovered by investigators said “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?’”
Jahn, who opened fire at a van near the entrance of an ICE field office in Dallas Wednesday morning, had also conducted multiple searches of the “Charlie Kirk Shot Video” between Sept. 23 and 24, just before the shooting, FBI Director Kash Patel said in an X post Thursday.
He also searched for apps that tracked the presence of ICE agents, and downloaded a document titled “Dallas County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management,” which the FBI said contains a list of DHS facilities.
Patel said the trove of evidence recovered in the investigation so far “indicates a high degree of pre-attack planning.”
Jahn killed one ICE detainee and critically wounded two others after indiscriminately firing at the facility from the roof of an immigration lawyer’s office near the Dallas facility.
He then took his own life.
