September 29, 2025: A tragic incident has left an ICE detainee in Dallas critically injured after being shot earlier this month. According to his pregnant wife, the man is now fighting for his life in the hospital.
The Incident
The detainee, identified by family as a 33-year-old father-to-be, was shot during an altercation involving law enforcement while in custody. Details surrounding the shooting remain unclear, and authorities have not yet released full information on what led to the use of gunfire.
Family’s Plea
His wife, who is seven months pregnant, spoke emotionally about her husband’s condition:
“He wanted nothing more than to see his baby’s birth. Now I don’t even know if he will survive.”
The family is demanding answers from both Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and local officials, questioning whether excessive force was used.
Investigation Underway
The incident is now under investigation by federal and local authorities. ICE has stated that it is “fully cooperating” but declined to release further details citing the ongoing probe.
Community Reaction
The shooting has sparked outrage among immigrant rights groups, who are calling for greater transparency and accountability in detention facilities. Advocates are pressing for immediate policy reviews to ensure detainees’ safety.
