The family of Joshua Jahn, the alleged shooter who opened fire at an ICE office in Texas from a nearby rooftop, killing at least 2 detainees, has come under fire as MAGA claimed it’s a Democrat family. 29-year-old Joshua, however, was a registered Independent and his brother told NBC that Joshua was not interested in politics. After shooting at the ICE office early on Wednesday, Joshua shot himself. Though the motive is not clear, law enforcement found anti-ICE messages on the bullet. MAGA activists, including Laura Loomer, claimed Joshua’s mother Sharon John is a Democrat ‘who makes social media posts attacking elected Texas Republican lawmakers who support the Second Amendment’.
“Ironic since her son used a gun to try to assassinate ICE agents and then blew his own brains out. Just another example of FAILED Democrat parenting. Joshua Jahn is a radical Leftist with a Democrat mother who spews her hatred on social media,” Loomer posted.“May you be reminded of the deaths every time you spend that precious blood money you have received from the gun lobby. Hope you think of it 100% when you attend the NRA meeting in a few days. Senator Cornyn, I realize you suddenly had something in DC come up where you won’t be attending. It’s unfortunate you don’t even have the spine to stand up to the NRA and tell them the real reason you aren’t attending. You are a coward, a spineless coward,” Sharon Jahn purportedly posted on Facebook in 2022, addressing Governor Abbott, Senator Cornyn and Senator Cruz. “Why have our government officials failed us? Their lust for money and power. It is time we vote out spineless tools and bring in people who actually care about others,” the message said.FBI director Kash Patel called the attack politically motivated based on the phrase ‘Anti-ICE’ written on a bullet. “These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland, Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice,” Patel wrote.
