ACE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan: "Somebody chose to come in and kill these detainees while they were being processed." (Note how administration officials don't have their stories straight on this.)

Every Monday morning I participate in a clergy-led prayer vigil outside of the Dallas ICE Administrative Office. This morning, a sniper stood at the top of an adjacent building and took aim. Press is reporting the victims are detainees being loaded onto a bus for transport to a large facility. 🧵
