The facility is currently being used by DHS to hold immigration violators awaiting deportation. After a few minutes, one or two suspects broke off from the group to vandalize vehicles and a guard structure in the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>Officials believe the disturbance was designed to draw ICE officers out of the building, reported Fox 11. Corrections officers called 911. An officer from the Alvarado Police Department responded and was shot in the neck by a suspect hiding in nearby woods. Another suspect fired 20 to 30 rounds at unarmed corrections officers who had ventured outside.<\/p>\n<p>The group fled the scene, but the suspects were eventually rounded up by local law enforcement. A dozen sets of body armor, magazines containing ammunition, masks, goggles, gloves, two-way radios, spray paint, fireworks, flyers, and a flag reading &ldquo;Resist Fascism. Fight Oligarchy.&rdquo; were found in their vehicles and at the scene. The suspects were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/ice-agents-targeted-2-ambush-attacks-recent-days\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a> to be &ldquo;dressed in black, military-style clothing&rdquo; at the time of their arrest.<\/p>\n<p>The suspects are also charged with three counts of discharging a firearm in furtherance of a violent crime. Another suspect has been charged with obstruction of justice for trying to conceal or destroy evidence. <\/p>\n<p>The wounded officer from the Alvarado Police Department is expected to recover.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Jacqueline Annis-Levings is a correspondent for the Federalist.
