Shooting of TX Police Officer Was Part of Larger | Political News
When I reported on the capturing of a police officer close to an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas on the Fourth of July, I questioned: “What were these violent activists planning? Why were they wearing body armor and masks?”
Thankfully, despite being hit in the neck, the officer survived and was launched from the hospital.
I questioned what they have been up to because it actually appeared as if this armed group had more sinister plans than the lone capturing—as unhealthy as that was—because they have been closely armed, with some sporting physique armor and others lined in mud. They had goggles and masks and fliers studying: “Resist fascism,” “fight oligarchy, and “combat ICE terror.”
It sure looked like they were looking for big trouble, and according to Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson, that’s exactly the case:

“It was a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers,” Larson stated at the Monday briefing. “Make no mistake, this was not a peaceful protest. It was indeed an ambush.”
The complete factor was a setup, and issues might have turned out a lot worse if their plot to kill a number of officers had come to fruition:
Federal officers described the encounter as an ‘organized ambush’ carried out by armed people dressed in black military-like clothes who reportedly first detonated fireworks exterior the federal facility.
Like the sick Coeur d’Alene, Idaho murderer who purposely lured firefighters to a blaze he’d set, only to shoot at them and tragically homicide two, these unidentified zealots baited law enforcement there with the fireworks:
The sound led two unarmed ICE facility staff to stroll exterior the power on Sunflower Lane, where they reportedly encountered people with flashlights who have been utilizing spray paint to vandalize the building and autos with phrases including Traitor and ICE Pig.
An Alvarado police officer also responded to experiences of suspicious exercise only to be met with gunfire by an assailant, according to police.

Larson didn’t determine the assailants but stated 10 people will face federal costs—including tried homicide of a federal officer. It’s hardly the only current violence around the nation directed at ICE:

Lawson added that the ten, plus one co-conspirator, all face potential long prison sentences. Good. Make them longer.
