A Texas police officer was shot in the neck late Thursday night during an apparent coordinated attack outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility, according to authorities.
Just before 11 p.m., officers from the Alvarado Police Department responded to reports of a suspicious person near the Prairieland ICE Detention Facility in Alvarado, Texas, CBS News reported. Upon arrival, officers encountered what appeared to be an armed individual, and when one officer attempted to engage, several suspects allegedly opened fire and struck the officer in the neck, police said
The officer was airlifted to a hospital in Fort Worth, treated, and later released, Alvarado police said.
Law enforcement said multiple armed suspects were taken into custody after attempting to flee. A federal source told CBS News that eight people were arrested, with some reportedly wearing body armor. Officials are still investigating a motive.
Early reporting suggests more than a dozen masked individuals dressed in black arrived at the ICE facility, vandalized vehicles and surveillance equipment, and launched fireworks — allegedly to draw law enforcement into a trap, CBS reported. Local officers, alongside the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, responded and helped apprehend the suspects.

TAKING NO CHANCES WITH AN LEO???
they airlifted a US Marshall dog that a cop killer shot through a garbage bin. Dog had saved his handler from getting shot. Dog would have died without the airlift

I took a helicopter ride once....unfortunately I was unconscious and didn’t get to experience the ride...
Throw the book at them!
I was in a helicopter squadron when I was in the U.S.M.C., that particular bird I flew in was an incredible experience! (CH-53’s)
And treated as one.
Pronto.
To paraphrase P. J. O’Rourke on Nationalism, Antifa is a big idea, and as anyone that’s ever been asked “Hey, what’s the big idea?” will tell you, most big ideas are bad ones.
It may not be Antifa. They haven’t named any suspects. It could be cartel members. They usually attack in a group and have used motars.
I agree
LEO is a priority
Yep..Mercy air...Usually saved for those looking death in the face.
I’m thinking cartel. ANTIFA ain’t got the balls. Body armor, coordinated attack. If this falls off the radar, you’ll know it’s cartels.
Try spy rigging…bring new meaning to hold onto your a@@

Federal immigration authorities plan to build a separate unit for transgender detainees in a new facility under construction in Alvarado, Texas.
The Prairieland Detention Center, expected to open in November, will house a total of 700 detainees and will have 36 beds set aside in a separate unit for transgender detainees, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“ a dozen masked individuals dressed in black arrived at the ICE facility, vandalized vehicles and surveillance equipment, and launched fireworks”
It is WAY past to get the whole antifa org on RICO charges and put them away for 50 years. What the hell is DOJ waiting g for?
Obviously ultra MAGA domestic terrorists and insurrectionists. Right?
I agree.
Did they fly him home, too? Or is the return trip on his own nickel?
