LULAC CONDEMNS DEADLY VIOLENCE AT DALLAS ICE FACILITY
=====================================================
Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Mourns Victims,
Condemns Ideological Hatred, and Urges Calm
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) today
condemned the deadly violence that unfolded this morning at an ICE facility along
Interstate 35 in Dallas, Texas. Authorities report three detainees were shot, one
critically, and a lone gunman died of an apparent self-inflicted wound.
"Violence is never the answer, and our nation must not normalize these horrific
acts," said Roman Palomares, LULAC National President and Chairman of the Board.
"We grieve with the families of the victims and urge Americans to lower the
temperature in our public discourse."
Gabriel Rosales, Texas LULAC State Director, added: "This tragedy shows what
happens when anger overtakes reason. No family should suffer such pain."
Ray Mancera, LULAC National Vice President for the Southwest, said: "We reject
violence in any form, and we call on leaders at every level to act responsibly
and stop inflaming tensions. Our communities deserve peace, not fear."
