The truth has a funny way of breaking through, even when the legacy media does everything in its power to bury it. That’s the test we’re seeing play out once again this week—whether traditional media institutions can still shape public perception, or whether the information ecosystem has finally evolved past their gatekeeping.
On Wednesday, 29-year-old Joshua Jahn opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas. He killed two detainees, injured another, and ultimately took his own life. Early reports—and let’s be clear, confirmed details—showed anti-ICE slogans were written on his ammunition. This wasn’t random. It was ideological.

And yet, if you blinked, you might’ve missed it. There was no media blitz. No wall-to-wall coverage. No screaming headlines about "political violence" or a “domestic terror threat.” Because Jahn doesn’t fit the preferred profile. He’s not a conservative. He’s not a Trump supporter. He’s not someone MSNBC can tie to MAGA rallies or red hats.
This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities.

In fact, he comes from exactly the kind of background we’ve seen more than once in these ideologically motivated left-wing attacks: an aggressively liberal family, steeped in woke politics. His sister’s a Beto O’Rourke fan. His mom supports gun control. And his brother—trying, almost comically, to disconnect this rampage from any political motivation—told NBC News, “He didn’t have strong feelings about ICE.”
Really? He had anti-ICE slogans written on his bullets.
That’s more than a “feeling.” That’s a message.

This is the pattern we’re seeing again and again. Political violence, in broad daylight, committed by people radicalized not by right-wing ideologies, but by progressive narratives—narratives that portray federal law enforcement as fascists, immigration detention as concentration camps, and ICE as some sort of rogue gestapo. When you feed those ideas to unstable minds, should we really be surprised when someone decides to “take action”?
Jahn’s attack echoes the same ideological thread seen in earlier incidents—from the 2019 attack on an ICE facility in Tacoma, Washington, where Willem van Spronsen was killed after throwing Molotov cocktails, to the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, allegedly by a shooter also steeped in leftist ideology.
I have found a Steam profile that I believe belonged to Joshua Jahn, the man who killed one person and critically injured two while shooting up a Dallas ICE facility and an ICE vehicle. One of his prior display names was "#impeachment" during a time in 2019 when Democrats were… pic.twitter.com/t65hKWSzSR

And still, the media refuses to treat these events with the same urgency or scrutiny they apply to anything that might be tied to the right.
