JUST IN: Dems Face Scandal After Suspect In ICE Ambush Is Revealed As Green Card Recipient

One of the suspects charged in connection with the shooting attack on an ICE facility in North Texas last weekend was granted a green card by the Biden Administration and was previously a recipient of the Obama era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, commonly referred to as DACA.

Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada, 38, is the husband of one of the alleged attackers. He is referenced in the unsealed criminal complaint against 10 individuals who allegedly set off graffiti and fireworks outside an ICE facility in an effort to draw agents outside so they can kill them.

An Alvarado Police officer was shot in the neck while responding to the scene by a gunman who was hiding in a wooded area outside the facility. The officer is recovering after he was airlifted to a local hospital.

The Department of Justice has referred to the attack as a “highly organized,” ambush-style killing after suspects were found with rifles, tactical gear, two-way radios, masks, gloves and more. At least three individuals are facing charges of attempted murder of a federal law enforcement official, while 10 individuals are being charged with discharging a firearm within the grounds of a federal facility.

Sanchez-Estrada became the 11th individual charged in connection with the attack when he was arrested by the FBI on charges of “conspiracy to tamper with evidence” as they were executing a search warrant on Monday. According to the complaint, Sanchez-Estrada was seen “carrying multiple packages from his residence to his truck.”

The box included “anti-government propaganda,” including one entitled “Organising for Attack! Insurrectionary Anarchy.”

The term “insurrectionary anarchy” is explained as a “subset of anarchism that stands out for its commitment to violence and revolutionary insurrection,” according to a March 2024 analysis from the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism, which was shared with Fox News. In a 2023 article from the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, insurrectionary anarchy was described as the most serious form of domestic (non-jihadi) terrorist threat.”

According to U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE), Sanchez-Estrada was born in 1986 and arrived in the United States with a Border Crossing Card at the Laredo, Texas, port of entry in 2001. A teenager at the time of his entry to the country, he was granted DACA status in 2013, and he later filed for renewals in 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

In 2020, he was arrested for alleged possession of a controlled substance, though the case was later dismissed. He was ultimately granted a green card in April 2024 after applying in the previous year.

President Trump was asked about Sanchez-Estrada and the fact that he was granted a green card under the Biden Administration by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy on Wednesday.

“It’s very sad, it’s very bad. A-lot of them are here,” the president said. “We came in and 21 million – I think it’s higher than that by the way. But they say, 21 million people came in. Many of them are criminals, many of them are murderers. 11,888, is what they say, are murderers. And they came in through open border policies. No checking, no vetting, no nothing.”

After the shooting, police apprehended seven suspects, some of whom were wearing body armor, while others were found with two-way radios. During their search, investigators also found a flag that read “resist fascism, fight oligarchy” and fliers that read “fight ICE terror with class war,” and “free all political prisoners.”

Additional searches over the weekend yielded masks, goggles, tactical gloves, more body armor, a cache of nine additional weapons, spray paint, fireworks, and insurrectionist material, CBS News reported. “This incident highlights the dangers that local law enforcement face on a daily basis, and the charges announced reflect the seriousness of the crimes,” said Joe Rothrock, the special agent in charge of the Dallas FBI field office.
