On July 4, 2025, 10 to 12 people began shooting fireworks at the Prairieland U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Alvarado, Texas while two individuals broke off to damage vehicles and spray graffiti, to include “ICE pig” and “traitor.” Two unarmed facility officers attempted to approach the individuals, and the Alvarado Police department was notified. Upon arrival, a single officer from the APD was shot in the neck by one of the assailants located in the woods, and the two ICE officers were fired upon.^[1] Additional responding officers have arrested 10 individuals and discovered multiple weapons, body armor, flyers, spray paint, and a flag stating "resist fascism, fight oligarchy."^[2]

An 11th suspect, Daniel Rolando-Sanchez Estrada, the husband of one of the attackers, was arrested on charges of conspiracy to tamper with evidence while attempting to execute a search warrant. Estrada allegedly possessed insurrectionary anarchist literature.^[3] One of the assailants, Benjamin Hanil Song, a former United States Marine Corps reservist, was not found after he fled the scene, and is currently an at-large suspect.
