We’re learning more about the alleged ideology of some of the defendants in the ICE Prairieland Detention Center shooting on July 4.
There was extra security at and around the federal courthouse in Fort Worth at Tuesday’s probable cause hearing.
It was a packed courtroom with eight of the 15 defendants as an FBI investigator testified for hours.
The FBI investigator told the court the shooting of the responding Alvarado police officer at the Prairieland Detention Center on July 4 was a “planned attack.” Some of the defendants’ attorneys maintain the group had planned a protest.
