As the officers approached, they were unexpectedly met with gunfire from multiple individuals, which resulted in one officer being struck in the neck.<\/p>\n<p>The injured officer was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Fort Worth and has since been discharged. Several suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident. Authorities suspect that the group deliberately disabled security cameras and attempted to divert officers away from the ICE facility before opening fire.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Larson announced that criminal charges have been filed against 10 individuals in relation to the organized attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are here to inform you that late at night on July 4th, specifically at approximately 10:37 PM at the Prairieland Ice Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, 10 to 12 individuals dressed in black military-style attire began discharging fireworks and committing acts of vandalism at the facility,\u201d Larson stated during a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was part of a coordinated attack. Today, my office has charged 10 individuals with three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer. Each of the 10 individuals is also charged with three counts of discharging a firearm in connection with a violent crime. Each defendant faces a mandatory prison sentence of 10 years and potentially up to life imprisonment,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>An additional suspect has been charged with obstruction of justice and conspiracy for allegedly attempting to conceal and destroy evidence related to the attack. If found guilty, the individual could face a maximum of 10 years in federal prison.<\/p>\n<p>Larson characterized the attack as a \u201cpremeditated ambush aimed at killing ICE corrections officers,\u201d further stating, \u201cLet there be no doubt, this was not a so-called peaceful protest. It was, in fact, an ambush.\u201d Prior to the shooting, the suspects reportedly ignited fireworks and defaced the area with graffiti in an effort to entice ICE employees out of the building, according to officials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe graffiti included terms such as traitor, ice pig, and other vulgarities,\u201d Larson remarked. \u201cSubsequently, there was a 911 call from the facility. Two unarmed corrections officers stepped outside to engage with the vandals. One of the gunmen used a flashlight to signal to the vandals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The gunman who allegedly fired at the officers was not among the vandals but was instead located in a wooded area outside the facility. \u201cAnother assailant, positioned across the street and far from the corrections officers, discharged 20 to 30 rounds at these unarmed corrections officers,\u201d Larson informed reporters.<\/p>\n<p>Following the shooting, police arrested seven suspects, some of whom were equipped with body armor, while others possessed two-way radios. During their investigation, authorities also discovered a flag that stated \u201cresist fascism, fight oligarchy\u201d and flyers that proclaimed \u201cfight ICE terror with class war,\u201d and \u201cfree all political prisoners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas, Nancy Larson, announced on Monday that several individuals will be facing significant federal charges, including attempted murder, related to a July Fourth ambush that resulted in a police officer being shot in the neck outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.
