A second detainee shot during an attack on a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office has died. Miguel Ángel García-Hernández, 32, succumbed to his injuries after being removed from life support following the September 24 sniper attack, as confirmed by the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) ABC News, Los Angeles Times, and The Hill.
García-Hernández was one of three detainees shot in the attack, which also left another detainee, Norlan Guzmán-Fuentes, 37, dead at the scene.
