One year ago today, a gunman opened fire on the Dallas ICE facility.

As bullets were still flying, three brave ICE employees sprang into action. They ran toward danger, rescued those trapped under fire, and provided lifesaving care to the wounded.

That is heroism.

We awarded Enforcement Removal Assistant Christopher Pyne, Deportation Officer Marco Solis, and Deportation Officer Andres Goche each the Distinguished Service Medal this June for their courage.

Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day to protect others—including illegal aliens in their custody.
