No federal officers were shot in the incident; however one McAllen, Texas police officer was struck and is in stable condition. The gunman was shot and killed by officers on the scene and has been identified as Ryan Louis Mosqueda.

"Local police and federal agents returned fire, killing him. I’m told this was a purposeful ambush/attack against federal agents and a press conference is planned for later this morning. No federal agents injured. Im told a McAllen police officer may have been shot, but is in stable condition," Melugin added.

ABC7 reported that Mosqueda, 27, was the individual in the apparent targeted shooting at the immigration facility. Law enforcement returned fire, killing Mosqueda.

The Department of Homeland Security responded to the situation, saying in a statement, “This morning, an individual opened fired at the entrance of the United States Border Patrol sector annex in McAllen, Texas.

Democrats are advocating for violence. They'd best be careful, they may get what they are asking for.

“Dem lawmakers say their constituents want ‘violence’ against Trump policies: report”

“Democrat lawmakers have said their voters are really displeased with them over their failure to prevent President Donald Trump and the Republicans from enacting their agenda. These voters are so mad, Democrat pols claim, that they could resort to “violence.”

A report from Axios details the issue, saying that they spoke to more than 24 House Democrats to gauge the temperature of the Democrat and leftist base. People, apparently, are mad, so mad that they could take action into their own hands.

“What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and ... a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people,” a lawmaker said, per Axios.”

I hope they publicly identify the eight arrested in the Alvarado ICE facility shooting Friday night.

Ludington, Michigan

The surname Mosqueda has its origins in Spain, specifically from the municipality of Mosqueda in the province of Burgos, Castile and León. It is also linked to the Spanish language and possibly a specific village in Mexico. Additionally, the name may derive from the word “mosca,” meaning “fly,” suggesting it could have originated as a nickname for someone with characteristics associated with flies.

Find out who these “economically very secure white people” are and charge them for any property damage caused by these hoodlums they are inciting.

Stealing from the rest of us is still stealing, and the taxpayers should be paid back by those stealing from us.

Stealing is NOT “free speech”. It is a crime, and it needs to be treated as such, including criminal punishment such as jail time and financial restitution to the taxpayers.

AND, they register you to a political party to vote - guess which one. Hint, it's not Elon's America party.

Pre-positioned, with a rifle, gear and body armor, lying in wait, and he wounds one officer.

Elmer Fudd.

The officers were well trained.
