Trump has expanded ICE’s mandate, ordering more arrests of undocumented immigrants, including those without criminal records.

“While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack,” Patel wrote.
All three victims were in a van outside the facility at the time, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement.
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin also posted photos showing bullet holes in a window and a glass case holding an American flag.
