I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley.

It's Wednesday, September 24th, and this is Evening Wire.

Two ICE detainees were killed and another injured in a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility this morning.

Daily Wire immigration reporter Ginny Terr has the story.

A shooter opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas Wednesday morning, injuring one and killing two.

The shooter, who was later identified by Fox News as 29-year-old Joshua John, allegedly opened fire at a nearby government building before turning the gun on himself, according to authorities.

All of the victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement officers were injured, authorities said.

FBI Director Cash Patel revealed that bullet casings left at the scene had the phrase anti-ICE engraved on them.

Patel said, quote, while the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack.

A man opened fire at the entrance to an Air Force base in Nevada last night.

The man allegedly fired rounds at the main gate to Nellis Air Force Base, which houses the mysterious Area 51.

Following the shots, the man pointed his weapon at security officers who shot him in the leg.

The unidentified gunman is being treated treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Authorities say there is no public threat and the investigation is ongoing.

A legal watchdog has asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio to label a radical Palestinian activist group a terrorist organization.

Daily Wire senior editor Joel Niedler has more.

Pro-Palestinian agitation group Unity of Fields, which celebrated the murder of two Israeli embassy staff members in May, should be classified as a foreign terrorist organization.

That's what the Zakor Legal Institute told Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a complaint Tuesday.

Unity of Fields, previously known as Palestinian Action U.S., is an organization that has called for police officers to be set on fire and encouraged anti-Israel protesters to commit crimes.

Zaykor Legal Institute told Rubio that Unity of Fields is, quote, a foreign entity that engages in terrorism, threatens the security of the United States, its institutions, and its people.

By promoting terrorism, vandalism, and engaging in various acts of violence, U of F has met the criteria to be designated as a foreign terrorist organization.

President Trump isn't impressed with ABC reinstating Jimmy Kimmel, calling the network a, quote, true bunch of losers for how they handled the situation.

Daily Wire reporter Amanda PrestiGiacomo has more.

When it was announced that Kimmel was coming back after he smeared conservatives in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Trump took to Truth Social to rip the network.

He said, quote, I can't believe ABC fake news gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back.

The White House was told by ABC that his show was canceled.

Something happened between then and now because his audience is gone and his talent was never there.

Trump added, quote, why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat garbage?

While President Trump may have had his fair share of qualms with world leaders yesterday, his UN visit also saw some technical difficulties as well.

An escalator carrying Trump and First Lady Melania suddenly stalled on their way up to the General Assembly hall.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt called it possible sabotage, demanding the firing and investigation of anyone involved.

She pointed to reports that UN staffers had joked about switching off the machine.

We have people, including the United States Secret Service, who are looking into this to try to get to the bottom of it.

And if we find that these were UN staffers who were purposefully trying to trip up, literally trip up, the president and the First Lady of the United States, well, there better be accountability for those people.

For their part, the UN pushed back, saying the escalator stoppage was the fault of a U.S.

videographer who triggered a built-in safety stop by running backward on it.

Meanwhile, just minutes later, Trump's teleprompter froze, a development the president took in stride.

I don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter, because the teleprompter is not working.

Ohio GOP frontrunner Vivek Ramaswamy is casting a spotlight on what he calls America's real crisis, education.

H-1B is at a broken system, of course, as I've said so millions of times.

That's irrelevant compared to our own deeper failure in education that we need to address.

That's what I'm talking about.

In the latest episode of Pod Force One, Ramaswamy warns that if U.S.

students remain years behind China and Singapore, that will mark the end of American exceptionalism.

He's calling for curricular enhancements like Singapore math and says America needs a modern Apollo mission, not to the moon, but to restore excellence in classrooms at home.

FBI agents found classified documents during a search of John Bolton's D.C.

office.

DeliWire reporter Tim Pierce says the story.

According to court filings released Tuesday, agents searched the former Trump National Security Advisor's office and home in Bethesda, Maryland last month.

Files retrieved from his office contained information related to weapons of mass destruction, among other topics.

The search of Bolton's Maryland home turned up no obvious signs of classified material, though computers and other devices were seized at both locations.

Bolton's attorney, Abby Lowell, said all documents were reviewed and cleared years ago for work on Bolton's book.

Lowell said, quote, an objective and thorough review will show nothing inappropriate was stored or kept by Ambassador Bolton.

A former FBI agent fired during Trump's first term just struck out in court.

Peter Strzok was fired during the first Trump administration for sending anti-Trump texts while running the Russia probe.

Today, a federal judge, Amy Berman, rejected Strzzok's claims that his firing violated the Constitution, ruling that the FBI has a stronger interest in avoiding bias than in protecting Strzzok's political commentary.

The U.S.

may step in to help keep Argentina afloat.

Treasury Secretary Scott Besant says the U.S.

is considering a $20 billion swap line with Buenos Aires, a move that would pump dollars into the market and prop up Argentina's battered peso.

The Trump administration is already prepared to buy Argentine bonds and open up emergency credit lines, unusual steps that signal strong political support for Libertarian President Javier Malay.

The announcement comes just weeks before midterm elections in Argentina, where Malay's free market overhaul is facing stiff resistance.

A 12-year-old girl who was shot in the head at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis last month is making miraculous strides toward recovery.

According to a family statement, Sofia Forchez's doctors are cautiously optimistic as she shows promising signs of neurological recovery.

During the August 27th attack, a bullet lodged in her brain, causing severe damage.

In order to relieve the swelling on her brain, doctors had to put Sophia in a medically induced coma and remove half of her skull.

She was one of 21 people injured during the shooting.

Two children were killed in the attack.

NASA's latest space mission launched this morning and its destination is the edge of the solar system.

The probe called IMAP will orbit the sun about a million miles from Earth using 10 instruments to trace particles to the solar system's edge.

Its goal, to draw the most detailed map yet of the heliosphere's boundary, where our sun's influence ends and interstellar space begins.

IMAP launched this morning on a SpaceX Falcon 9, joined by two smaller satellites designed to watch for solar storms and track Earth's outer atmosphere.

And Major League Baseball is bringing on robot umpires.

The league announced Tuesday that it will roll out a new rule allowing players to appeal to robot umpires to overturn pitches that they think were incorrectly called by their flesh and blood human counterparts.

The new rule will take effect for the entire 2026 MLB season and will give each team two chances to challenge whether a pitch was correctly ruled a strike or ball.

The pitch will then be assessed through a complex automated camera system to judge whether the human umpire was correct.
