Coverage of the horrific shooting at an ICE detention center in Dallas, TX took a turn for the nasty, when correspondent Mireya Villareal implied that the shooting was ICE fault.
MIREYA VILLAREAL: Today's attack coming two weeks to the day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Casings found at the scene of that assassination also bore written messages, according to law enforcement. Vice President Vance late today on the suspect.
JD VANCE: There's some evidence that we have that is not yet public, but we know this person was politically motivated.
VILLAREAL: While critics say the mask-wearing, often plain clothes ICE officers often terrorize communities.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons says they’re just doing their jobs, and he says attacks on ICE officers are up 1,000% since January.
TODD LYONS: 1000%, more than we ever had. And it's just getting worse. And these keep getting elevated and elevated.
VILLAREAL: Last month, this man was arrested at this same facility after authorities said he threatened to detonate a bomb in a backpack. And they say multiple armed assailants in tactical gear attacked an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas on July 4th. One officer was wounded. This latest shooting comes amid a new poll tonight asking Americans how serious a problem do you think political violence is today? 71% say it's very serious. 22% say somewhat serious. And when asked, do you think the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to the violence here? 82% said yes.
