that he had a bomb in his backpack

A man was arrested in Dallas Monday night after he allegedly walked to
an entrance of an ICE facility and told officials he had a bomb in his
backpack, the Department of Homeland Security said in a news release
Tuesday.
Bratton Dean Wilkinson, a 35-year-old US citizen, arrived at the
entrance of the Dallas Field office at 6:37 p.m. local time, showing a
security officer a device on his wrist he claimed was a detonator, DHS
said. The location houses the Dallas Field office and Enforcement and
Removal Operations, they said.
A shelter-in-place was issued for the facility and local police
responded with a bomb squad, which was able to clear the scene about 30
minutes later, they said.
Wilkinson was taken into custody by local law enforcement and charged
with making terroristic threats, DHS said. The Dallas Police Department
confirmed it responded to the incident, and said Wilkinson was charged
with a Class A misdemeanor false reporting to induce emergency
response. CNN is working to identify if he has an attorney.
The arrest comes as public attacks have risen against the agency and
its agents as they face continued backlash to the Trump
administration’s deportation efforts. The escalation in attacks ,
especially after attacks in Fort Worth and McAllen, Texas.
In recent weeks, a New York ICE office was sent a white powder, and a
man in San Francisco was while agents were conducting immigration
enforcement, the agency said.
“These incidents come after months of smears and rhetoric by
activists, politicians, and the media comparing ICE law enforcement to
the Nazi Gestapo, kidnappers, and the Secret Police,” a senior DHS
official said in a statement. “This shameful rhetoric has fueled a
culture of hate against law enforcement resulting in a 1,000 percent
increase in assaults against them. All sanctuary politicians,
activists, and the media need to turn down their temperature.”
The DHS has previously warned of dramatic spikes in assaults, saying in
May attacks against officers had risen to over 400%, and then up to
800% in July, with the agency now reporting a 1,000% increase.
