What happened in the Dallas ICE shooting and who was involved?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Sang. Two immigration detainees are dead, and another is in critical condition and After a shooter opened fire outside a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office this morning. Toluwani Osibamawo with member station KERA reports authorities say the suspect died from a self inflicted gunshot wound.
Dallas police say the suspect opened fire from an adjacent building before 7 a.m. local time. The FBI says bullet casings found near the gunmen had anti-ICE messages written on them and that it's investigating the shooting as an act of targeted violence. During a press conference after the shooting, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz said politically motivated violence needs to stop.
To every politician demanding that ICE agents be doxed and calling for people to go after their families, stop. This has very real consequences.
How are politicians responding to the Dallas shooting and calls to stop political violence?
Federal officials confirmed no ICE officers or law enforcement were injured in the shooting. For NPR News, I'm Toluani Osibamo in Dallas.
In North Carolina today, Vice President J. D. Vance asserted that Democratic Party rhetoric foments violence against the Trump administration.
What's gonna happen is political violence and political violence has gotten out of control in this country. We gotta stop it, we gotta condemn it, and that starts, unfortunately, at the very top of the Democratic Party.
Democratic Party leaders have issued similar warnings about President Trump and his allies, citing violence against Democratic elected officials and their families in recent months and years. In the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination in Utah two weeks ago, many Democrats have joined Republicans, including youth political groups, in jointly denouncing any violence against or censorship of those who hold opposing views. Media celebrities applauded the return of late night host Jimmy Kimmel to the airwaves last night.
What did Vice President Harris/Vance say about Democratic rhetoric fueling violence?
ABC had pulled his show following remarks he made about Charlie Kirk's death and Pierre's net Ulibi reports.
On the late show, host Steven Colbert acknowledged the return of his friend and rival.
I'm glad Kimmel's back. He is a wonderful fella. To know him well is to admire him immensely, even if he takes the whole summer off.
Even before Kimmel went back on the air, the immensely popular podcaster Joe Rogan weighed in. He said he did not believe a government should be involved in dictating what comedians say. On Wednesday morning, more than 10 million people had already watched Kimball's monologue on YouTube, millions more than the number who regularly tune in. Neto Ulibi, NPR News.
Doctors in Lennon say any treatment for the genetic disease known as Huntington's help slow it by a significant amount.
Why did Jimmy Kimmel return to TV and what controversy surrounded his show?
Disease kills brain cells and causes involuntary movements in the body. The treatment involved twelve to eighteen hours of brain surgery, but the doctors say the results are spectacular. And demonstrate a successful treatment for the disease for the first time. From Washington, it's NPR News. Foundations and drug manufacturers are teaming up in an effort to make a new HIV prevention drug affordable. Two separate deals were announced today on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, and PRs Gabriella Emanuel has more from New York.
Lenicapavir is the name of the new medication that's been hailed as a game changer. Two injections a year provide almost complete protection against contracting HIV. But a big question is cost and whether those in lower income countries where the HIV AIDS epidemic is the worst can afford it. Now the Clinton Global Health Initiative, the Gates Foundation, and Unit Aid are teaming up with Indian manufacturers to develop a generic version.
How are foundations and drug makers making the new HIV prevention drug affordable?
The cost they project of $40 a year is on par with the oral HIV prevention drug that's currently available. The hope is that the generic injectable will be available in 2027. Gabriela Emanuel, NPR News, New York.
