Part 7/11:
Yan’s attack was explicitly targeted at ICE personnel, aiming to inflict maximum damage and spread fear. His notes suggested he intended to minimize collateral damage to detainees, indicating he did not plan to harm them directly but sought to instill terror among law enforcement.
Interestingly, the investigation revealed Yan's use of ICE tracking apps, which he exploited to identify officer locations and plan his attack. Officials condemned the proliferation of these apps, labeling them as facilitators of violence by exposing law enforcement to unnecessary risks.
