In response to a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement: 

“Today, America experienced another horrific act of violence that killed two ICE detainees and injured another in Dallas, Texas.  As we monitor the situation and await further details, I am grateful for the first responders and law enforcement officers who ran toward danger, am praying for the victims and their families, and condemn this senseless and cowardly attack.

“Let me be clear: It will take all of us — not just one side of the aisle or the other — to quell this epidemic of violence, which has no place in our democracy. Democrats remain committed to resolving differences through debate and elections, not with weapons. We also remain committed to enacting commonsense solutions to curb gun violence all across our country.”
