Retired FBI and CIA counterterror official Phil Mudd and retired ICE and Homeland Security agent Victor Avila join NewsNation to discuss a domestic terror attack on an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas.

This type of vigilante lawlessness is emblematic of the dangers federal, state, and local law enforcement officials face every day,’ an official says.

Since then, acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Susan Larson provided more details about an attack that occurred around 11 pm on July 4 at the ICE Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas. The facility, which opened in 2017, is owned by the City of Alvarado, operated by LaSelle Corrections and has a 707-bed capacity.
