VIDEO: Ten Arrested in Alvarado, Texas After Alleged Ambush of ICE Facility

Authorities have arrested ten individuals on attempted murder charges following a coordinated attack on the Prairieland ICE detention center in Alvarado, part of what officials describe as a “planned ambush” against federal officers on the night of July 4th.

According to Acting U.S. Attorney Nancy Larson, a group of 10–12 people, dressed in black tactical-style clothing, gathered at the facility and used fireworks to draw ICE corrections officers outside.

As two unarmed officers exited the building to investigate, they were met with gunfire—one Alvarado police officer was shot in the neck and another group of officers came under heavy fire, with as many as 20–30 rounds discharged across the street.

Investigators recovered an AR-style rifle that failed to fire, along with body armor, tactical gear, fireworks, masks, and flags bearing anti-ICE slogans such as “Resist fascism, fight oligarchy”. Flyers calling for class-based resistance and statements like “Fight ICE terror” were also found on-site or during subsequent searches.

All suspects fled the scene but were apprehended shortly afterward—some were found wearing body armor and carrying radios, and one was spotted covered in mud and armed. Each of the ten individuals faces three counts of attempted murder of a federal officer and three counts of discharging a firearm in a violent crime, punishable by up to life in prison. An eleventh person is charged with obstruction of justice for attempting to conceal evidence.

Larson emphasized, “This was a planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers,” and noted enhanced security measures have been implemented at the detention center moving forward.

The attack followed a similar incident this week at a Border Patrol facility in McAllen, where another officer was injured.

The FBI, along with local and federal partners, continues to lead the investigation into both incidents. No further suspects have been identified at this time.
