A 27-year-old man was killed Monday after opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas, authorities said.

Federal agents returned fire at the man, who had an assault rifle and was carrying a utility vest, McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez told reporters Monday morning.

Rodriguez identified the suspect as Ryan Louis Mosqueda.

Law enforcement said they found another rifle and more ammunition. Rodriguez said the man’s motive is currently unknown.

One officer was injured in the shooting. Rodriguez said it was unclear if the injury was from shrapnel or a bullet.

I feel like just walking up to the base and shooting at fascists wasn't a well thought out plan, but points for effort.

Maybe someone will use a bomb or find out where they sleep next time.

Humans are animals of habit and routine. Also, chemistry is a fascinating field AND there's a sort of neat trick usable that's a good reason not to toss out your unused Styrofoam! Do with this information what you will....

His car's probably electric.

Modern, American, styrofoam doesn't do that

For anyone else curious about the relationship to ICE, here is what I found on Wikipedia, with each → pointing to a parent agency:

US Border Patrol → US Customs and Border Protection → US Department of Homeland Security

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) → US Department of Homeland Security

Where's all the people complaining about the lack of people trying to start stuff with feds?

Almost like fighting the way they want to be fought doesn't accomplish Jack and shit.

Solo running a facility as if life is an FPS game where you can just super soldier and out aim everything wasn't the best of ideas.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

It's a good start.

This tracks exactly with what I say; one person alone can’t do shit.

I bet the story would’ve been quite different had there been 10-20 heroes instead of one.

If you're last name is "Rodriguez" and you are still working for Border Patrol, you're a traitor.

Oh man, you'd be surprised how many Latino white supremacists Nazis there are out there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I'm Mexican. I shit you not, I've seen a very brown Nazi sporting a bright red t-shirt with a black swaztika and a shit-eating grin while strutting downtown in Guadalajara. I've never wanted to kick someone in the teeth so bad in my life.

If you're ~~last name is "Rodriguez" and you are still~~ working for Border Patrol, you're a traitor.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

Most are surprised that a whole lotta border patrol are Hispanic.

Just an FYI it's more effective to target ICE when they are trying to kidnap people.

Try to find reports from your local community about ICE lurking around. They will have way less security than back at base.

Also, if you have that much clarity of thought you probably should look at getting organized locally. Whatever rage you're feeling; you are not alone.

Hopefully one day we can build a statue of him.

Wasnt there just another post about AOC being critical of ICE and the top comment is about going out and buying a firearm?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

Context? Like as a threat to AOC or to ICE?
