A shooter with a rifle opened fire from a nearby roof onto a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement location in Dallas, killing one detainee and wounding two others before taking his own life. Authorities say the exact motivation of the attack on Wednesday was not immediately known. The FBI said ammunition found at the scene contained anti-ICE messaging. The head of the agency, Kash Patel, released a photo on social media that shows a bullet containing the words “ANTI-ICE” written in what appears to be marker.“

Recent polling shows President Donald Trump’s second-term strengths look different from his first. His approval was once strengthened by economic issues, but it's now tepid on that front. His best issues now are crime, border security and immigration. Trump’s overall approval has been fairly steady in Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research polling since he took office in January. This month, about 4 in 10 U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling his job as president, back in line with his average approval rating after a slight uptick in August. During his first term, his approval also stayed within a narrow range.

The Border Patrol agent who has led an immigration crackdown in Los Angeles has arrived in Chicago, possibly signaling a new phase in an enforcement surge announced last week. In a social media post on Tuesday, Gregory Bovino shared footage of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicles in Chicago, saying “Operation At Large” continues. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed multiple arrests Tuesday. President Donald Trump has promised increased immigration enforcement in Chicago despite local objections from local leaders and residents. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker criticized Bovino’s tactics, calling them violent and discriminatory.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says the detention of hundreds of South Koreans in a raid at a Georgia Hyundai plant won’t deter U.S. investment. She believes tough actions clarify the Trump administration’s policies. There were 475 workers detained on Sept. 4, including over 300 South Koreans. The roundup caused confusion and shock within the strong U.S. ally. Noem says the detainees would be deported and the raid shows companies the importance of companies following U.S. laws. She says there are no plans to slow or halt immigration raids in Chicago or other cities. Noem was attending a meeting in London of ministers from the “Five Eyes” partnership, focusing on border security and migration issues.

The Border Patrol agent leading immigration enforcement in Los Angeles was removed from his position in 2023 under President Joe Biden. Gregory Bovino's remarkable fall and rise illustrates how much immigration policy and tactics have changed under Biden's successor, Donald Trump. The telegenic, North Carolina native’s views and style are in lockstep with the White House. He unflinchingly defends actions that have broken norms, including from Trump’s first term. Catchphrases describe the work. “Time on the X” refers to how long agents spend at a raid; they must leave quickly to avoid protesters. “Turn and burn” is about pacing.

Two years ago Gregory Bovino was relieved of command of the Border Patrol’s El Centro, California, sector and encouraged to retire. Now he leads immigration enforcement in Los Angeles. The assignment began June 6 when the Trump administration launched its first sustained blitz of a U.S. city with speed and force that broke recent norms. His career rebound illustrates how radically immigration policy has changed. And Bovino says he is far from finished. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker says Bovino called the head of the state police to say immigration officers were coming to Chicago.

Mexico and the United States have agreed to continue collaborating on cross-border security issues like fighting the trafficking of drugs, guns and fuel. This announcement came during U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit Wednesday. Both countries emphasized that the cooperation would respect each other's sovereignty. Initially, a broad security agreement was expected, but it evolved into a reaffirmation of ongoing collaboration. A new "high-level implementation group" will oversee these efforts. The focus remains on stopping fentanyl and other drugs from entering the U.S. and controlling migration, which has significantly decreased.
