   Gov. Glenn Youngkin attended the breakthrough ceremony, touting the work that led to this momentous event.

   The largest highway construction project in Virginia's history is destroying distance and conquering time," Youngkin said.

   The HRBT Expansion Project, a nearly $4 billion endeavor, has taken about 17 million man-hours as of Wednesday.

   No officers were injured in the shooting, but Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem insisted the shooting was an "attack on ICE law enforcement."

   In an interview with ABC News, ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons described the gunman as a sniper who took an ‘elevated position’ and fired into a secured portion of the facility. A law enforcement official identified the shooter as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, according to The Associated Press. He took his own life after the attack, authorities said.

   "While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack," FBI Director Kash Patel said. He later posted on social media photos of unspent shell casings with "ANTI ICE" written on them
