“DHS will immediately begin increasing security at ICE facilities across the country. Our ICE officers are facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults against them,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement.

In Wednesday’s incident in Dallas, authorities say a gunman opened fire on an ICE office. One detainee was killed and two others were critically injured.
