There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas @ICEgov Field Office. Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities. The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gun shot wound. While we don’t know motive yet, we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop. Please pray for the victims and their families.

Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. Twenty-four years later, DHS honors the courage and bravery of the 9/11 first responders, the resilience of the survivors, and the steadfast support of the everyday Americans who continue to inspire our work. DHS was born from this tragedy, and under President Trump and @Sec_Noem, DHS returns to its foundational purpose: safeguarding our homeland.

Major win for public safety. 🚨 Over 300,000 kg of meth precursor chemicals—shipped from China to the Sinaloa Cartel—were seized by my office at the Port of Houston in the largest seizure of its kind in U.S. history. Huge thanks to our partners at @ICEgov, @HSIHouston, @CBP, @deahq and @DEAHOUSTONDiv, for helping keep this off our streets.

🚨A multi-agency investigation conducted by @HSIHouston and our partners has resulted in the conviction of 8 MS-13 gang members for their roles in a racketeering conspiracy that led to multiple victims being brutally murdered and dismembered with machetes and baseball bats.

🚨.@HSIHouston and its partners recently seized the largest volume of methamphetamines chemical precursors in U.S. history. The seizure, which would have generated nearly $600 million in criminal proceeds for the Sinaloa Drug Cartel, took place in international waters on a vessel bound for a Sinaloa-linked front company in Mexico. Details:👇

The Trump Administration has designated the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations — unlocking a whole-of-government approach to eliminate their trafficking operations in the U.S. Precursor chemicals used to produce methamphetamine and intended for Sinaloa Cartel labs in Mexico were seized this week by HSI agents. Had these chemicals reached their destination, they could have produced $569 million worth of methamphetamine.

President Trump vowed to go after the cartels, and we are delivering. Under the Trump Administration, law enforcement has stopped over 700,000 lbs of precursor chemicals from reaching the Sinaloa Cartel. Intercepted on the high seas en route from China to Mexico, these chemicals could have produced $569 million worth of meth. Instead, they are off the market and out of American communities. @POTUS Trump designated these cartels for what they are: foreign terrorist organizations. Thanks to @DHSgov, our partners at @TheJusticeDept, and the success of Operation Hydra, we are saving American lives.

🚨Another dangerous child predator has been removed from the local community following an investigation by @HSIHouston and @CorpusChristiPD. Details: 👉justice.gov/usao-sdtx/pr/c…
