A candlelight vigil lit up the intersection outside Parkland Health Thursday evening as a small group of people gathered to show support for the victims of the Dallas ICE facility shooting.<\/p>\n

Brown Berets, a local civic activist group, organized the gathering at the intersection of Harry Hines and Lofland Boulevard, where members set up tables, candles, flowers, and Mexican flags with the sign \u201cViva Mexico.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here to put the focus where it needs to be,\u201d said Tony Rodriguez, regional commander of the group. <\/p>\n

Officials have said the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility was targeted<\/a> by a shooter and a barrage of bullets on Wednesday that left one detainee dead and two others critically hurt. <\/p>\n

Rodriguez said his organization has information about one of the victims of the shooting being treated at Parkland Health hospital, but did not disclose it. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here to talk to our people (and) tell them we are here with them,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cThe story is not about ICE being attacked, it\u2019s about our community being attacked. We\u2019re pushing back against that narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the detainees who were shot, one of them, who was seriously injured, is a Mexican national<\/a>, according to the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The identities of the detainees who were shot have not yet been officially disclosed by the authorities. <\/p>\n

Haley Paty, 31, of Dallas, said they came to Thursday\u2019s vigil to stand in solidarity with the community. <\/p>\n

Paty said they are trying to use their privilege as a \u201cpalm-colored person\u201d to speak up for those who are being silenced by the Trump administration. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe rhetoric is horrific, and it\u2019s only going to lead to more and more violence,\u201d Paty said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A candlelight vigil lit up the intersection outside Parkland Health Thursday evening as a small group of people…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":256041,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,347,4219,1596,134303,409,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-256040","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-article","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-dallas","12":"tag-ice-office-shooting","13":"tag-immigration","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-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115270492672202136","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256040","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=256040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/256041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=256040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=256040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=256040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
