Authorities say a 27-year-old man was killed after opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen, Texas.
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.
opening fire at a U.S. Border Patrol facility ... motive is currently unknown.
Man shoots nazis, motive unknown 🤔
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?
Context? Like as a threat to AOC or to ICE?
I can't wait for the movie adaptation
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.
No I really wouldn't be. But it's still disheartening.
If you’re
last name is “Rodriguez” and you arestill working for Border Patrol, you’re a traitor.

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.
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.
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.
Federal agents returned fire at the man, who had an assault rifle
No he didn't. Unless he robbed an army base, he probably had a regular old AR15
Idiot. What harm did he expect to do alone? Just plain idiot.
Basically every "group plot" I can think of in the last 20 years (regardless of ideology or motive) has been broken up by one or more undercovers or informants before they can do anything.
Maybe his methodology was dumb but reaching out to the ether for partners in crime is dumber.
Lone Wolf type attacks do have a much lower chance of being discovered, but that doesn't change that just running at a group of armed agents is dumb. Planting a bomb or sniping them at a distance seems like something with a higher chance of success. Or even a suicide vest, since surviving certainly wasn't a goal for the guy.
Maybe his plan was to be killed, and to try and take out some people on his way. At least his target wasn’t a school.
Suicide by cop.
The symbolism is noteworthy.
People have a limit.
I’ve been waiting for a big false flag attack to be used as an excuse to ramp things up and possibly declare martial law.
America makes suicide killers… did you think it was only going to happen in the other countries they fuck over? America basically used the same tactics that they use in other countries to throw this coup in America. They know what they are doing. The have experience with all this already.
crying out how bad it is accomplishes nothing… they already know… they don’t care… people saying how bad it is isn’t going to change anything. People need to understand war, crime, and heartlessness if they want to go against this. You’re not going to overcome them by being nice.
This is sad. It sucks. You want to say that violence isn't the answer, but it's easy to see how people hit their breaking point. ICE agents kidnapping people is horrible. McAllen is poor. The people who work in that ICE facility are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.
That's not just a job though. It's a Nazi job. You are required to treat people like animals. If you qualify for that job you are disqualified for life.
My dude. We are well past the point where it is ok to say " Im just doing my job" in the midst of fascism. No it is literally not okay to work for ICE (gestapo) and kidnap people, to support your family. Hell no.
You had me till the last sentence.
The people who work in that ICE facility are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.
Find a fucking different job
"I was just doing my job" didn't work at Nuremberg, and it shouldn't work here. That's now how committing crimes against humanity works.
Every single person working at these places (or involved in the trafficking of people to foreign prisons) needs to be held to account, just like they did with the Nazis.
This is sad. It sucks. You want to say that violence isn’t the answer, but it’s easy to see how people hit their breaking point. Schutzstaffel agents kidnapping people is horrible. Oświęcim is poor. The people who work in that transient worker camp are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.
Judging by your downvotes, it looks like many people here neither know nor care that there is a world of difference between Border Patrol and ICE.
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
They are all the same picture, but with a changed nameplate. Burn them all.
Hopefully his shots caught some nazi skulls and nothing else.
