Rice President J.D. Vance says Democrats need to help stop political violence in the country.

Vance also weighed in on a shooting at an ICE facility that took place in Dallas today, which

federal officials say killed one detainee and critically injured two others.

NPR's Deepa Shivram reports the FBI is investigating. Vance was critical of the

And he also spoke about the shooting at the ICE facility in Dallas. As far as we know, it looks like

some of the detainees. In other words, some of the potential illegal aliens

Vance went on to say that the issue of political violence is not a, quote, both sides

problem and that Democrats need to, quote, look in the mirror.
