A planned attack on law enforcement officers occurred at an ICE facility in Texas on the Fourth of July. Armed suspects ambushed police with firearms and body armor, shooting an officer in the neck. This violent assault has raised serious concerns about targeted attacks against those protecting our borders.

Federal officials confirmed this was a coordinated ambush, not a peaceful protest. The attackers used military-style rifles with rapid-fire triggers and tactical gear. They came prepared for war against our officers defending national security.

The Alvarado police officer bravely responded to a suspicious person call when gunmen opened fire. He took a bullet in the neck but survived after emergency treatment. This hero represents the courage of our law enforcement facing growing threats.

Multiple suspects fled but were captured thanks to swift police action. Authorities found disturbing evidence including “insurrectionist propaganda” at one suspect’s home. These domestic terrorists clearly planned violence against American institutions.

Similar attacks followed days later when another shooter targeted Border Patrol in McAllen. This pattern shows open season on our homeland protectors. The brave men and women guarding our borders face unprecedented danger.

Questions remain about who organized this attack. Some suspects claimed they didn’t know violence was planned while others communicated through encrypted apps. This smells like antifa-style operations targeting federal law enforcement.

The failed ambush highlights the war being waged against America’s frontline defenders. We must equip our officers properly and punish these attackers to the fullest extent of the law. Our nation’s security depends on defending those who defend us.

This Fourth of July attack proves we must stand strong against those trying to destroy America from within. We back our law enforcement heroes and demand justice for these treasonous acts. Patriots won’t tolerate attacks on the institutions keeping Americans safe.
