Bratton Dean Wilkinson, 36, arrived at the entrance of the Dallas ICE Field office Monday night and told security officers he had a bomb in his backpack. U.S. Department of Homeland Security<\/p>\n
A shelter-in-place order was promptly issued at the facility, and local police and bomb squad members responded, officials said.<\/p>\n
The scene was cleared roughly 30 minutes later, the statement detailed.<\/p>\n
Wilkinson, a US citizen, was then taken into custody by local cops and now faces charges of making terroristic threats, the office said.<\/p>\n
Photos show a bearded Wilkinson in a white button-up, skinny jeans, and a vest being cuffed by officers.<\/p>\n
ICE offices and agents have become the target of threats and attacks over the past few months.<\/p>\n
The jarring incident in Texas comes just weeks after five envelopes\u00a0containing a suspicious white powde<\/a>r were discovered at New York\u2019s Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Manhattan.<\/p>\n The substance was later found to be boric acid, law-enforcement sources said.<\/p>\n A mob of rioters also ambushed\u00a0Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents\u00a0<\/a>in San Francisco, with one agitator threatening<\/a> to \u201cstab\u201d one of the feds and \u201cgo after\u201d his family, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday.<\/p>\n \u201cThese incidents come after months of smears and rhetoric by activists, politicians, and the media comparing ICE law enforcement to the Nazi Gestapo, kidnappers, and the Secret Police,\u201d a Senior DHS official said in a statement. <\/p>\n \u201cThis shameful rhetoric has fueled a culture of hate against law enforcement resulting in a 1,000 percent increase in assaults against them. All sanctuary politicians, activists, and the media need to turn down their temperature,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was arrested after he yelled bomb threats at security officers outside a Dallas Immigration and Customs…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":178646,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,11307,101128,1596,2398,5410,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-178645","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-arrests","10":"tag-bomb-threats","11":"tag-dallas","12":"tag-department-of-homeland-security","13":"tag-ice","14":"tag-texas","15":"tag-tx","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-us-news","22":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115098491696240982","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Man](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bratton-dean-wilkinson-man-arrested-110130012.jpg\")
