Nearly a dozen suspects are facing significant charges following a “planned ambush” at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) center in Texas on July 4 that left a police officer seriously wounded, authorities say.

Ten individuals have been arrested and at least one more remains at large in connection with an attack at the Prairieland Detention Facility in Alvarado, TX.

Masked assailants “dressed in black, military-style clothing” shot fireworks and vandalized vehicles and security cameras at the facility on Friday night, prompting a response from the Alvarado Police Department (APD), according to Nancy E. Larson, Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas.

The militants opened fire on officers, striking an APD officer in the neck, as InfoWars reported.

On Monday, the Department of Justice announced charges against 10 suspects.

“Each of the 10 are charged with three counts of discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. Each of these defendants faces a mandatory prison term of 10 years and up to life in prison,” Larson stated during a press conference on Monday.

“An additional co-conspirator was charged with obstruction of justice and conspiracy for attempting to conceal and destroy evidence in relation to the attack, and he faces up to 10 years in prison.”

Larsen called the operation a “planned ambush with the intent to kill ICE corrections officers.”

“Make no mistake, this was NOT a so-called ‘peaceful protest.’ It was, indeed, an ambush.”

Interestingly, mugshots indicate at least half of the defendants appear to be female.

Photographs included in a criminal complaint show threatening messages were spray-painted on federal property, including “Ice Pig” and “F**k you pigs.”

“The incident at the Prairieland Detention Center underscores the dangers that officers face daily. We want to thank all the law enforcement agencies that promptly responded and assisted in apprehending the suspects,” stated Joseph Rothrock, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Dallas Field Office.

“The FBI stands with our partners and pledges that violence against law enforcement will not be tolerated. We are committed to thoroughly investigating this weekend’s incident and will hold those responsible accountable for threatening the safety of law enforcement.”

The APD officer who was shot was treated and is expected to recover.
