FBI Releases Photo Showing Anti-ICE Messages on Bullet Casings Engraved by Dallas ICE Shooter Identified as 29-Year-Old Joshua Jahn

The radical left strikes again.

Two people are dead, including the shooter, in a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility as an act of targeted violence, the FBI said on Wednesday.

Among the deceased are two detainees, and a third is in critical condition.

The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Joshua Jahn fired at the ICE building from a nearby rooftop and ended up killing two detainees.

No ICE agents were injured.

The Daily Mail reported:

A sniper who killed at least two migrants and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself.

Multiple law enforcement sources confirmed the identity of the gunman as Jahn, and ICE said in a statement that the sniper ‘fired indiscriminately’.

The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.

Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter’s body were engraved with ‘anti-ICE messages’, and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: ‘Anti-ICE.’

The FBI confirmed the shooting was an act of targeted violence.

FBI says it found classified documents in John Bolton’s DC office

FBI agents executing a search warrant at former national security adviser John Bolton’s downtown Washington office last month turned up documents marked as classified, according to a court filing released Tuesday.

A description of the documents gathered in the Aug. 22 search suggested they included materials that referenced weapons of mass destruction, the U.S. mission to the United Nations and records related to the U.S. government’s strategic communications.

The inventory by an FBI agent doesn’t specify the number of suspected classified documents. But it lists several collections or folders that were labeled “confidential” and some pages marked “secret.” The heading on at least one set marked “confidential” was redacted from the inventory, filed earlier this month in federal court in Washington.

FBI agents also carried out a search warrant the same morning at Bolton’s Bethesda, Maryland, home. The inventory from that search contained no outward indication that classified information was located. However, in both instances, agents reported seizing computers and other electronic devices whose contents were not detailed.

Both search warrant applications indicated FBI agents were seeking evidence related to three felony offenses, including gathering, transmitting or losing national defense information in violation of the Espionage Act and retaining classified information without permission.

In Trump’s first term, Bolton faced a lawsuit claiming he included classified information in a book he wrote after leaving the administration. A federal judge warned publicly that the former White House official’s actions might have been criminal. However, a Justice Department probe did not lead to charges and was eventually dropped under the Biden administration in 2021.

It’s not known when the investigation restarted. Court filings indicate that investigators determined that Bolton’s AOL email account was hacked by a foreign entity, although details of the alleged hack and how the U.S. became aware of it remain unclear.

Redacted court filings related to the Washington search were released by Justice Department lawyers after several news organizations, including POLITICO, filed a formal motion asking for disclosure of the records. DOJ attorneys agreed to make public redacted versions of the inventory, search warrant and accompanying affidavit, but resisted blanket release of the information, citing a need to protect a national security investigation.

U.S. Justice Department official ordered to drop inquiry into Sandy Hook lawsuit against Alex Jones

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has ordered a senior U.S. Justice Department official to drop an inquiry into a retired FBI agent’s involvement in a defamation lawsuit involving Alex Jones’ conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

Ed Martin Jr., who leads the Justice Department’s “weaponization working group,” sent a letter dated Sept. 15 to the Sandy Hook families’ lawyer asking for information about former FBI agent William Aldenberg, who responded to the 2012 school shooting and was a plaintiff in the lawsuit, along with victims’ relatives, that led to a $1.4 billion judgment against Jones for calling the massacre a hoax.

Martin’s letter suggested that he was looking into whether Aldenberg broke a federal law by receiving financial benefits for helping to organize the lawsuit. Jones, who said he met with Martin last week in Washington, has accused Democrats and Justice Department officials of orchestrating the lawsuit to silence him.

But Martin’s correspondence to Christopher Mattei, a lawyer for the Sandy Hook families, and Aldenberg, “caused frustrations” within the Justice Department, and Blanche directed Martin to withdraw the letter, said the person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal agency matters.

Mattei said he received a new letter from Martin on Wednesday that said there was no investigation of Aldenberg and “I hereby withdraw my request for information.”

“Less than 18 hours after calling out Alex Jones and Ed Martin for their corrupt use of the Department of Justice to harass Sandy Hook families and the heroic FBI agent who ran into that school to save any children he could, I am happy to learn that this so-called inquiry has now been withdrawn, if it ever existed at all,” Mattei said in a statement.

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.

As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.

Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.

Former FBI director James Comey ‘expected to be indicted for lying to congress’

Former FBI Director James Comey is expecting to be indicted for lying to Congress, according to multiple reports.

Comey has been a staunch critic of Donald Trump‘s administration since the president fired him in 2017.

Sources tell MSNBC that he will be indicted in the ‘coming days’ – though the extent of the charges are unclear. 

The Justice Department and FBI did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment. 

Trump appointed Lindsey Halligan as acting US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia earlier this month and she is already preparing for two high profile indictments. 

Her jurisdiction is the same district where Comey’s fellow Trump rival and New York Attorney General Letitia James is being investigated for a 2023 home purchase in Virginia. 

Halligan, 36, served as the White House senior associate staff secretary before taking on her new role. 

Meanwhile, Trump and his administration has been laying the groundwork to go after Comey and other political enemies ever since coming back into office for a second term.

The Biden FBI was worse than we knew

Americans paying attention have long known Biden’s Handlers weaponized the DOJ/FBI against Normal Americans. They’ve also known Joe Biden was their doddering, stumbling, little girl and woman groping, barely conscious mouthpiece. President Autopen was the man that very nearly wasn’t there.

The FBI surveilled and harassed parents who expressed their concerns about the political and sexual indoctrination of their children to local school boards. Likewise, were Catholics branded “radical traditional Catholics” surveilled. Then FBI Director Christopher Wray serially lied about that, claiming those tactics were confined to a single FBI field office and he immediately ended the practice, so shocked was he by such a political deviation. We now know multiple field offices were involved and among the practices that so alarmed easily alarmed FBI agents was Catholics enjoying the Latin Mass.

The FBI’s social media/Internet censorship efforts were vast, and Douglass Mackey was convicted over a joking Hillary Clinton meme. Normal Americans were certain that was only the tip of an oppressive iceberg that would have made Stalin proud. They had no idea.

The FBI’s investigation into President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election was far broader than previously known — encompassing 92 Republican organizations and individuals, newly released records show.

The “Arctic Frost” investigation into Trump targeted Republican groups, including the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, the Republican National Committee, and the Republican Attorneys General Association, according to records released by Senators Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R., Wisc.) Tuesday morning. Numerous pro-Trump political operatives were also placed under the scope of the Arctic Frost investigation, the records show.

The investigations which included subpoenas, warrants and all manner of overt and covert techniques, were part and parcel of Rogue prosecutor Jack Smith’s lawfare efforts against Donald Trump. It was an unprecedented effort to criminalize legitimate political expression and to ensure eternal, one-party, Democrat rule.

DOJ ended probe of ‘border czar’ Tom Homan for allegedly accepting $50K in FBI sting: Sources

The Department of Justice shut down an investigation involving President Donald Trump’s “border czar,” Tom Homan, in which he had been recorded allegedly accepting cash from FBI agents posing as business executives, multiple sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

The sting operation, which stemmed from a broader public corruption probe that did not initially target Homan, led agents to an encounter in which they recorded Homan allegedly accepting a bag containing $50,000 in cash while agreeing to potentially help the men obtain government contracts in the event Trump won the 2024 election, the sources said.

The investigation, started during the Biden administration, was handed over to the Trump administration. Officials briefed Justice Department leadership about it in the early days of Trump’s presidency as part of their ongoing efforts to vet personnel who had been appointed to senior leadership posts in his administration, the sources said.

Investigators at the time were still working to determine whether Homan would have followed through on arranging the government contracts, as some in the Justice Department questioned the legal viability of charges in a scenario where Homan had proposed the government contract when Trump’s election victory wasn’t yet guaranteed, according to the sources.

Patel says FBI investigating ‘possibility of accomplices’ in Kirk shooting

During Charlie Kirk’s memorial service on Sunday, FBI Director Kash Patel posted an update on the investigation of Kirk’s assassination, saying the FBI is “pursuing every lead.”

Tyler Robinson, 22, was arrested and charged with Kirk’s murder, but Patel said the FBI is looking into the “possibility of accomplices.”

“We are meticulously investigating theories and questions, including the location from where the shot was taken, the possibility of accomplices, the text message confession and related conversations, Discord chats, the angle of the shot and bullet impact, how the weapon was transported, hand gestures observed as potential ‘signals’ near Charlie at the time of his assassination, and visitors to the alleged shooter’s residence in the hours and days leading up to September 10, 2025,” Patel said in a post on X.

FBI says three Charlie Kirk ‘conspiracy theories’ involving text messages, hand signals and a second shooter could be TRUE

The FBI is investigating a string of curious ‘theories and questions’ about Charlie Kirk‘s shooting which exploded on social media in the aftermath of his assassination. 

Director Kash Patel announced Sunday the bureau is probing whether accused gunman Tyler Robinson had help carrying out the killing at Utah Valley University.

Agents are also examining peculiar hand gestures made by spectators in the crowd, along with ‘stilted’ text messages Robinson exchanged with his lover that raised alarms over their odd, awkward wording. 

‘We are examining every facet of this assassination,’ the FBI boss announced on X Sunday afternoon, while 200,000 people gathered in Arizona for Kirk’s funeral. 

Patel said officials are ‘meticulously investigating theories and questions’ including ‘the location from where the shot was taken’ and ‘the possibility of accomplices’. 

Agents are also probing ‘the text message confession and related conversations’, ‘Discord chats’, ‘the angle of the shot and bullet impact’, and ‘how the weapon was transported’, he said. 

Patel added that they would also look into ‘hand gestures observed as potential ‘signals’ near Charlie at the time of his assassination, and visitors to the alleged shooter’s residence in the hours and days leading up to September 10′. 

‘To protect the integrity of the investigation and subsequent prosecution, we cannot release every piece of information we have to the public right now,’ Patel said. ‘We will ensure every question is addressed at the appropriate moment.’ 

The push for transparency comes after the FBI was criticized for failing to find Robinson for 33 hours until his family turned him in, and for wrongfully detaining two other men during the search.

Charlie Kirk’s Producer Explains to Tucker Carlson What Happened to SD Cards After Kirk’s Assassination

Charlie Kirk’s longtime producer, Andrew Kolvet, has revealed what happened to the SD cards from the cameras that were filming on the day of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

In a post on X, Kolvet wrote, “Tucker and I addressed what happened with the SD cards after the assassination.”

Kolvet added, “The individual who grabbed them is a longtime staffer, a loyal man, and a dear friend. He made the right call.”

While speaking to Tucker on the Charlie Kirk Show, Kolvet continued to share that the staffer who took the SD cards was worried they might be stolen from members of the crowd.

Kolvet then noted the FBI now has the SD cards from the cameras that were filming on the day of the assassination.
