Sept. 24, 2025, 8:47 PM EDTBy Tom Llamas, Marlene Lenthang and Ignacio TorresActing ICE Director Todd Lyons called the shooting Wednesday morning at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, which killed one detainee and critically wounded two, his “worst nightmare.”For Lyons, who previously worked in a Dallas ICE office, the shooting “really hit home.””Seeing the photos today, some of the bullets were in an office that I used to have there,” he said on “Top Story with Tom Llamas.” “It’s just a horrible feeling. People always ask me what’s the thing that keeps me up at night. It’s the safety of the men and women of ICE.”Follow live updates hereThree detainees were shot when gunfire rang out around 6:40 a.m. Wednesday. One victim died at the scene, and the two others were taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds, Dallas police said. No ICE officers were hurt.”My heart goes out that detainee’s family. We’re charged with their protection, their custody. Nothing like that should happen,” Lyons said.The shooter, who multiple senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation identified as Joshua Jahn, had fired from a nearby roof or an elevated position down into the field office’s sally port, ICE said.The shooter was found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, ICE said. A bullet found near the shooter bore messages that were “anti-ICE” in nature, the Dallas office of the FBI said, calling the attack an act of “targeted violence.”Lyons said he learned the shooter fired bullets “indiscriminately,” striking windows and lobby doors, and that the shooter fired upon the sally port, where detainees are brought in. The victims were shot while they were in vehicles, he said.”The detainees weren’t outside a vehicle. The shooter was just shooting at random vehicles inside. They were still hit inside the vehicle,” Lyons said. “There were some brave men and women on the ground that went into those vans, were pulling those detainees out while they’re under fire.”He said the shooting was particularly alarming because it happened in the morning commute hours, near an interstate, apartments and businesses, meaning more people could have been hurt.”This was a targeted attack on ICE, but this really could’ve hurt anyone,” Lyons said.Lyons said there has been an increase in attacks “on ICE officers and agents nationwide.””It’s bad enough the men and women of ICE have to go out there and put themselves in harm’s way, doing their law enforcement mission, but never thinking that in our own facility, our own location, we take sniper fire in a major city,” he said.His message to ICE agents is: “I totally have their back.””My No. 1 mission is making sure they go home to their families every night,” he said.Tom LlamasTom Llamas is a senior national correspondent for NBC News and anchor of “Top Story With Tom Llamas” on NBC News NOW.Marlene LenthangMarlene Lenthang is a breaking news reporter for NBC News Digital.Ignacio TorresIgnacio Torres is a coordinating producer for NBC News.

Nov. 5, 2025, 1:36 AM ESTBy The Politics DeskWelcome to a special-post election edition of From the Politics Desk, a newsletter that brings you the NBC News Politics team’s latest reporting and analysis from the White House, Capitol Hill and the campaign trail.Sign up to receive this newsletter in your inbox every weekday here.Democrats sweep the first major elections of 2025Democrats scored a series of victories across the country Tuesday on the first major Election Day of President Donald Trump’s second term. The NBC News Exit Poll found that voters in Virginia, New Jersey, New York City and California expressed broad dissatisfaction with Trump. Most voters in those elections were also sour on the direction of the country as they expressed worries about financial issues and the economy.Even though voters generally did not hold positive views of either party, Democratic campaigns were able to capitalize on other areas of concern, giving the party a desperately needed boost one year out from the midterms. Here are the most notable results from the night:Virginia: Democrat Abigail Spanberger defeated Republican Winsome Earle-Sears to flip control of the state’s governorship, setting her up to become the first woman to lead the state.Democrats found success across the board in Virginia. Jay Jones won the election for Virginia attorney general, overcoming a text message scandal that threatened to derail his candidacy in the final stretch of the race. State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi became the first Muslim American woman elected to statewide office in the U.S. with her victory in the lieutenant governor’s race. And the party expanded its majority in the state House of Delegates. New Jersey: Democrats won the other governor’s race of the evening, with Rep. Mikie Sherrill defeating Republican Jack Ciattarelli after a race she worked to make a referendum on Trump. New York City: Democrat Zohran Mamdani won the mayoral race, after the 34-year-old democratic socialist energized progressives around the country. In his victory speech after vanquishing former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mamdani claimed a broad mandate and set himself up in direct opposition to Trump, who made a late endorsement against him. “In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light,” Mamdani said.California: Voters approved a new congressional map drawn by state Democrats, giving the party the chance to gain up to five House seats next year and counter Republican redistricting efforts in other states.Pennsylvania: Voters approved the retention of three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices, preserving Democrats’ 5-2 majority on the battleground state’s high court. The rest: Maine will soon become the 22nd state to have an “extreme risk protection” gun law, also known as a “red flag law” — part of a slew of state ballot measures voters around the country considered, on issues from raising taxes on higher earners to parental rights and voting rules.The GOP’s view: No one thought Tuesday was going to be Trump’s election night, but there were even fewer silver linings than many Republicans had hoped, Matt Dixon, Henry J. Gomez, Jonathan Allen and Garrett Haake report. Still, Republicans were brushing aside the off-year races as aberrations that aren’t predictive of the 2026 midterms.
