A police officer was shot outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Texas late Friday night and several armed people were taken into custody, the authorities said.
The shooting took place outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
The detention center, which is about 28 miles south of Fort Worth, holds people who are awaiting deportation or are accused of violating immigration laws.
Around 11 p.m. on the Fourth of July, officers from the Alvarado Police Department responded to a call about a suspicious person outside the detention center and saw someone who appeared to have a gun, the sheriff’s office said.
One officer tried to talk to the person and then several other people opened fire on the officer, who was wounded in the neck and flown to a hospital. The officer was treated and discharged from the hospital, the sheriff’s office said.
Several people tried to flee, but they were taken into custody by officers, the statement said. It was not clear how many people were taken into custody nor whether they were still being held on Sunday morning.
“At this time the motives of the suspects are unclear,” the sheriff’s office said.

They were driven to madness by Donald Trump.
Just guessing, but it appears their motive was to hurt the officer.
Two day old story. Long enough for us to get mug shots. And can law enforcement come up with something other than “motive is unclear”? It makes them sound like idiots when we know full well what the motive was. I’d lay $10,000 bucks that this was leftist lunatic pro-illegal immigration aholes. Most likely white and either college graduates or still in college.
Their “motives” are clear. They are bringing back fascism. I hope they catch the bastards and string them up to an oak tree. Scum.
What a nitwit! Based on the report, it was, essentially, an ambush to kill cops...
Should keep his mouth shut or at least say something that doesn't indicate incompetence...
The sheriff’s office sounds retarded.
I’ve looked around the internet; can’t find anything about their identities.

My recommendation to use live rounds should be accepted shortly.
It was a coordinated effort to kill immigration officers.
These cretin should see some serious time in jail.
You don't need to know that until their internet footprints have been reduced to zero.
Nobody on the police side shot back? Did they send out an officer or a social worker?
Summary executions get the message across more pointedly.
It’s going to be a long, hot Summer.
I think people involved should be charged as terrorists, and if possible deported to some where, because they clearly don’t care about USA nor it’s law officers.
Trump is exporting Democrat illegal votes. They will use violence.
SHOT THROUGH THE NECK, AND YER TO BLAME

Oak tree?
Probably have to be a cottonwood tree, at least in that part of Texas I would imagine.
Any tree. And use piano wire.
Right. I consider this the most important story (after the sad and tragic loss of the flood victims’ lives).
If this is a trend then the Dems are going to be in for some payback.
