No injuries were reported in the incident. Footage shared by local media showed multiple bullet holes in the building's windows.

The attack came at a time when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a sharp increase in attacks on ICE personnel. Citing this increase, DHS announced it would require all officers on ICE arrest teams to wear body cameras.

A DHS spokesperson said, "Ensuring that ICE law enforcement officers have body cameras nationwide is a top priority for DHS – especially considering the over 1,300% increase in attacks on our law enforcement and over 3,300% increase in vehicular attacks."

The FBI asked anyone with information about the attack to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov. The motive for the attack has not yet been disclosed, and no information about the suspect or suspects has been released.
