The field office is where people are processed and where agents decide whether to release individuals or hold them, according to ICE.<\/p>\n
The victims were being led into the building to be processed and repatriated, Fox News reported, citing Dallas police Department sources.<\/p>\n
The attacker fired multiple rounds from a nearby roof or elevated position near the field office’s secure entryway, an ICE spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
