A deadly shooting unfolded outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas on Wednesday morning. Authorities say a gunman opened fire from a nearby rooftop, killing one detainee and critically wounding two others before turning the weapon on himself. Officials described the incident as an “indiscriminate attack” on ICE.

Identities of Victims Remain Withheld

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that all three victims were detainees waiting in a transport van outside the facility. Their names and backgrounds have not yet been released.

Mexico’s Foreign Ministry reported that one of the wounded victims is a Mexican national, now hospitalized with severe injuries. Officials have contacted the individual’s family to provide legal and consular support.

Initially, DHS stated that two detainees were killed, but it later corrected the record, confirming one death and two critical injuries. No law enforcement officers were harmed in the incident.

Suspect Identified as 29-Year-Old Texas Resident

Authorities identified the gunman as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. Law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to the Associated Press, confirmed his identity but withheld further investigative details.

FBI agents were later seen at a Dallas-area residence linked to Jahn. According to public records and acquaintances, Jahn had a history of unstable employment and legal troubles.

Ryan Sanderson, a cannabis farm owner in Washington, told the AP that Jahn briefly worked for him in 2017 while living in his car. “He was lost, and I didn’t expect him to be crazy,” Sanderson recalled. “He didn’t seem abnormal or violent, just quiet and focused on working.”

Court records show Jahn pleaded guilty in 2016 to felony charges related to marijuana delivery in Collin County, Texas. He served a five-year probation sentence.

Investigators confirmed that Jahn used a bolt-action rifle during the attack.

Motive Under Investigation

While officials have not announced a clear motive, evidence collected at the scene suggests anti-ICE sentiment played a role. Ammunition recovered bore the words “ANTI-ICE,” according to DHS officials. Photos released by DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin also showed bullet holes in windows and damage to a display case holding an American flag inside the facility.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem condemned the shooting, calling it “a vile attack motivated by hatred for ICE.”

Political reactions quickly followed. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this was the third attack against immigration enforcement in Texas in recent months, warning that heated rhetoric against federal immigration agencies could incite violence. “To every politician who is using rhetoric demonizing ICE and CBP: Stop,” Cruz urged during a press conference.

Democrats, however, criticized Republicans for shaping the narrative around ICE rather than focusing on detainees who were victims. Representative Marc Veasey (D-TX) expressed frustration in an interview with Dallas station WFAA-TV, saying, “If they are trying to control this narrative and they don’t want migrants to be the victim in this story, then they may slow-walk giving us any information about this.”

Location of the Attack

The shooting occurred outside the Dallas ICE field office, located just off Interstate 35 East near Dallas Love Field Airport. The facility primarily handles short-term processing of individuals in ICE custody.

Witnesses reported a heavy law enforcement presence after the shooting. Later in the day, a white van from the Dallas County medical examiner’s office removed Jahn’s body from the rooftop where the shots originated.

Recent Attacks on ICE and Border Patrol Facilities

The Dallas shooting adds to a troubling series of recent violent incidents targeting immigration enforcement in Texas.

• July 4 Incident: Armed attackers in military-style clothing opened fire outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, southwest of Dallas. A police officer was injured, and federal prosecutors have since charged at least 11 individuals in connection with the attack.

• July 7 Incident: In McAllen, near the U.S.-Mexico border, a man later identified as Ryan Louis Mosqueda fired multiple rounds at Border Patrol agents as they exited a facility. A police officer was injured before authorities shot and killed the gunman. Additional weapons and ammunition were later found in his car.

National Security Response

In response to the Dallas attack, DHS Secretary Noem ordered an immediate increase in security at ICE facilities nationwide. “The safety of both our employees and those in our custody is paramount,” she said in a statement.

The FBI continues to lead the investigation, with support from local Dallas police and DHS officials. Authorities have not released a timeline for when additional details about the victims or suspect may be made public.

LOS ANGELES — Famed Mexican boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. has been arrested by U.S. immigration authorities just days after his high-profile bout with Jake Paul. Officials say he overstayed his visa and provided false information on a green card application. He is now facing deportation to Mexico, where he’s also wanted on serious criminal charges.

Who Is Julio César Chávez Jr.?

Chávez Jr., 39, is a former WBC middleweight champion and the son of boxing legend Julio César Chávez Sr., one of the most revered athletes in Mexican sports history.

Despite a turbulent career plagued by drug addiction, failed drug tests, and missed weigh-ins, Chávez Jr. reached the sport’s pinnacle when he captured the middleweight title in 2011. He successfully defended the belt three times and shared the ring with top-tier fighters like Canelo Álvarez and Sergio Martínez, though he lost both matches.

Chávez’s legal troubles in the U.S. go back more than a decade. In 2012, he was convicted of driving under the influence in Los Angeles and served 13 days in jail. More recently, in January 2024, he was arrested for possessing two ghost guns—untraceable AR-style rifles. He was later released on a $50,000 bond and entered a residential drug treatment program, with that case still pending.

Where and How Was He Arrested?

Chávez was taken into custody on Wednesday in front of his Studio City home, a high-end neighborhood near Hollywood. According to his attorney, Michael Goldstein, federal agents detained Chávez while he was riding a scooter. The street was reportedly blocked off, and the arrest occurred without prior notice to his family.

His arrest came just days after his much-publicized loss to Jake Paul in Anaheim. Interestingly, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had approved the arrest on June 27, one day before the fight—but waited several days to act.

What Are the Charges?

Federal officials allege that Chávez Jr. entered the U.S. on a tourist visa in August 2023, which expired in February 2024. In April, he applied for permanent residency through marriage to Frida Muñoz, a U.S. citizen with familial ties to Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán—the infamous drug kingpin currently serving a life sentence in the U.S.

According to DHS, Chávez made multiple fraudulent claims on his green card application. Meanwhile, Mexican authorities confirmed an active arrest warrant for Chávez linked to an organized crime and arms trafficking investigation. On Thursday, Mexico officially initiated extradition proceedings.

What Happens Next?

Chávez is being processed for expedited removal from the U.S., though his attorney says he is unsure of his client’s current detention location.

In a public statement, Chávez’s family expressed support and confidence in his innocence, urging that the legal process proceed without speculation or pressure.

“We firmly believe that the proper course is to allow the competent authorities to carry out their work without external pressure or speculation,” the family said.

Final Thoughts

The arrest of Julio César Chávez Jr. adds yet another dramatic chapter to the boxer’s complicated career. As he faces legal action on both sides of the border, the coming weeks will be critical in determining his future—not just in boxing, but in life.

As the Supreme Court prepared to hear arguments on whether to allow President Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship to take effect, he made a striking claim on Truth Social: that the United States is the only country in the world that grants citizenship simply by being born on its soil.

This claim is false.

Back on January 20, the first day of his second term, Trump signed an executive order aimed at denying citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are here illegally or only temporarily. However, lower courts quickly blocked this order nationwide, and the administration is now appealing these decisions, challenging the authority of judges to issue such broad injunctions. Importantly, the Supreme Court has not yet ruled on whether the executive order itself is constitutional.

Let’s break down the facts.

Trump’s Claim vs. Reality

On Truth Social, Trump said:
“The United States of America is the only Country in the World that does this, for what reason, nobody knows.”

But the truth is quite different.

According to the CIA World Factbook and the Library of Congress, about 30 countries worldwide offer unconditional birthright citizenship, including Canada, Mexico, and many nations in Africa and Asia. The U.S. is far from unique in this regard.

“The statement is pretty obviously wrong,” says Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University and expert on constitutional law and migration rights. “Many countries have birthright citizenship, though in some of them the rules differ from those in the U.S.”

What Is Birthright Citizenship?

Birthright citizenship is based on the principle of jus soli — Latin for “right of the soil.” It means that anyone born within a country’s borders automatically gains citizenship, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.

This contrasts with jus sanguinis, or “right of blood,” where citizenship depends on the nationality of one’s parents or ancestors.

In the U.S., birthright citizenship is nearly unconditional. Children born on American soil are citizens, except for two narrow exceptions: children of foreign diplomats and children of enemy soldiers occupying the country during wartime. Historically, Native Americans were excluded until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.

A Historical Foundation

Birthright citizenship was enshrined in the U.S. Constitution after the Civil War to guarantee citizenship for formerly enslaved people. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, states:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

This Citizenship Clause overturned the infamous 1857 Dred Scott decision, which held that Black people — enslaved or free — could not be citizens. It was a monumental shift in American history, affirming citizenship rights regardless of race or parentage (with the limited exceptions noted).

Trump’s Executive Order Faces Legal Hurdles

Trump’s executive order attempts to restrict birthright citizenship in a way that conflicts with longstanding Supreme Court precedent, notably a decision from 1898 that confirmed the Citizenship Clause grants citizenship to all born on U.S. soil except in very specific, rare cases.

Currently, the Supreme Court is considering this case alongside other immigration-related appeals brought by the Trump administration.

What This Means

The U.S. is not unique in offering birthright citizenship — many countries around the world have similar policies. The ongoing legal battle will determine whether Trump’s effort to limit this constitutional right can move forward, but the claim that the U.S. stands alone on this issue is simply wrong.

As the debate unfolds, understanding the history and facts behind birthright citizenship helps cut through the political rhetoric and misinformation.

Constellation Brands, the company behind popular beers Modelo and Corona, says it’s feeling the sting of President Trump’s hardline immigration policies — and it’s showing up in the sales numbers.

According to CEO William Newlands, Latino customers — who make up nearly half of Constellation’s U.S. consumer base — are pulling back from typical social activities, like dining out or attending gatherings. The reason? Growing fears of immigration raids and deportations under Trump’s administration.

“A lot of consumers in the Hispanic community are concerned right now,” Newlands said during a recent earnings call. “Social gatherings, an area where the Hispanic consumer often consumes beer, are declining today as part of these overarching concerns that they have.”

This shift in behavior contributed to a 1% drop in beer shipments last quarter. The dip was most evident in Hispanic neighborhoods, where store traffic has slowed significantly.

In a follow-up interview with The Wall Street Journal, Newlands explained that many Latino consumers are now avoiding local convenience stores and bodegas — typically go-to spots for beer purchases. Instead, they’re opting for larger retail chains where they feel safer blending into the crowd.

Constellation Brands isn’t the only company noticing a downturn among Hispanic consumers:

• Colgate-Palmolive, Foot Locker, Burlington, and Monster Beverage have all reported softer sales in recent weeks, particularly in Hispanic markets.
• John Faucher, VP at Colgate-Palmolive, acknowledged the shift, saying, “There obviously is an impact on Hispanic demand, as we’ve seen, lower traffic from Hispanic consumers.”

Data from market research firm Circana shows that Hispanic consumer spending on non-essentials has declined more sharply than that of non-Hispanic consumers this year.

Market analyst Nik Modi of RBC Capital Markets echoed the trend, noting in a recent client note:

“A consistent theme we have heard over the last several months has been mounting pressure among Hispanic consumers stemming from concerns on immigration policy. This has manifested in pullback from retail.”

Beyond the headlines, Trump’s immigration crackdown is adding yet another stressor to an already shaky economic environment for businesses. The administration’s use of aggressive enforcement tactics — even invoking wartime authority in some cases — has created a chilling effect on communities and commerce alike.
