A 36-year-old man named Bratton Dean Wilkinson was arrested after making bomb threats at the Dallas ICE office on Monday evening. He arrived at 6:37 p.m. and told officers he had a bomb in his backpack and a detonator on his wrist. This caused an immediate shelter-in-place order, and police with bomb squad members responded.
The area was cleared within 30 minutes, and Wilkinson was charged with making terroristic threats. This incident is part of an increasing pattern of threats against ICE facilities. Recently, suspicious powder was found at a Manhattan ICE office, and rioters confronted agents in San Francisco.
