WATCH: Vance Rebukes The Left’s Anti-ICE Rhetoric In Fiery Press Conference: ‘You Have No Place’

During a press conference in Concord, North Carolina, Vice President JD Vance delivered a fiery rebuke of the left’s apocalyptic anti-ICE rhetoric when reacting to the attack on an ICE facility in Dallas.

At least two detainees were killed and one more injured when a gunman, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, indiscriminately fired into the facility from a nearby rooftop. The shooter also fired indiscriminately into an ICE van before turning the gun on himself.

The three detainees were in the country illegally and “being processed at this facility and would have been moved to a long-term detention facility,” ICE deputy director Madison Sheahan told Fox News. The injured detainee remains in “critical” condition, according to Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.

“We are working with our local officers to identify next of kin and make sure those notifications are made. Until that time, I don’t want to jump ahead on any families dealing with this tragedy,” she said.

Jahn scribbled anti-ICE messages on unused ammunition, law enforcement officials have confirmed.

While speaking with law enforcement personnel in Concord, North Carolina, Vance pointed to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! as part of the rhetoric that led to Wednesday’s attack. The governor accused ICE agents of “kidnapping” people from the streets as part of an “authoritarian government” while calling on his supporters to “push back.”

“And I think that is the most disgusting thing. The very people who keep us safe ought to be honored and protected and praised by Democrats and Republicans alike. It is time to stop the rhetorical assault on law enforcement,” Vance said. 

“Because here’s what happens when Democrats like Gavin Newsom did, say that these people are part of an authoritarian government. When the left -wing media lies about what they’re doing, when they lie about who they’re arresting, when they lie about the actual job of law enforcement, what they’re doing is encouraging crazy people to go and commit violence.”

Vance went on to state that disagreements over policy are one thing, but stressed that apocalyptic rhetoric from the left must cease. “You don’t have to agree with my immigration policies. You don’t have to agree with Donald Trump’s immigration policies. But if your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement, you can go straight to hell and you have no place in the political conversation of the United States of America,” the vice president declared.

Deputy ICE Director Sheahan confirmed that agents were the target of Wednesday morning’s attack. The gunman fired indiscriminately inside multiple areas in the building and through an open roof.

He also fired at the ICE van in a processing area outside the building, which is where the detainees were shot. “What we do know so far is that the shooter was firing indiscriminately throughout the whole building,” Sheahan told Fox News on Wednesday. “The shooter was at a building nearby, shooting directly into the building, going across the entire length of the building.”

No law enforcement personnel were injured in the attack, Joe Rothrock, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Dallas field office, told reporters.

“We found bullets throughout the entire building that had punctured into the facility, targeting the entire ICE facility,” Sheahan said.
