DOJ Releases Mugshots Of Texas Shooting Suspects
Federal authorities have confirmed that the July 4th shooting of a police officer near the Prairieland ICE detention facility in Texas was part of a broader, premeditated plot targeting federal law enforcement officers, specifically agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
On Monday, Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson announced that eleven individuals have been charged in connection with the attempted mass casualty event. Charges include attempted murder of a federal officer, among other serious federal offenses.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas released additional details, including names and mugshots of the suspects. The group, according to investigators, was heavily armed and well-equipped, suggesting coordination and clear intent. Authorities recovered multiple AR-style rifles, handguns, tactical gear, body armor, and communication equipment from the scene and surrounding areas.
One local police officer was shot in the neck during the initial attack but survived. Prosecutors allege that the group initiated the attack by setting off fireworks as a diversion before engaging in a coordinated assault. While one suspect opened fire on the officer near the entrance, another fired dozens of rounds at correctional officers standing outside the ICE facility from a separate vantage point.

Searches of vehicles and personal belongings tied to the suspects revealed twelve sets of body armor, tactical goggles, anti-ICE propaganda, and cell phones shielded in a Faraday bag, a device often used by criminal groups to block GPS and cellular signals.
The DOJ described the recovered materials—including printed slogans like “FIGHT ICE TERROR WITH CLASS WAR” and “FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS”—as indicative of an anti-government ideology and an intent to escalate into broader violence.
While the criminal complaint stops short of defining the incident as domestic terrorism at this stage, the facts outlined paint a picture of a thwarted, highly dangerous operation that could have resulted in multiple law enforcement deaths.
Federal prosecutors emphasized that while the suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty, the nature of the charges carries a minimum sentence of 10 years and a maximum of life in prison if convicted.
