A federal officer was seriously injured when an illegal alien ran him over and smashed into multiple vehicles this week in Florida, authorities say.
The harrowing incident unfolded on Sunday in Homestead, a city in Miami-Dade County.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pulled over a vehicle when the driver threw the car into reverse, striking an agent and nearly crushing him, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) explained in a press release.
The driver collided with several ICE vehicles while attempting to flee but then crashed into a utility van and came to a stop.
Four illegal aliens bailed out of the damaged vehicle and took off running before they were apprehended by law enforcement.
All four received medical treatment and were taken into ICE custody.
They have been identified as follows:
- Henry Isaul Garcia illegally entered the U.S. on or around March 10, 2022, near Eagle Pass, TX.
- Ruben Sales Garcia illegally entered and was removed from the U.S. in 2007. He illegally reentered at an unknown location and date.
- Marlon Gomez Hernandez illegally entered the U.S. in 2018 at an unknown location and date.
- Jorge Perez Martin illegally entered the U.S. at an unknown location and date.
Isaul Garcia, a citizen of Guatemala, has been identified as the driver of the vehicle.
The illegals have been placed in removal proceedings.
“These dangerous attempts to flee law enforcement come after sanctuary politicians have openly encouraged and provided tips for how to evade our ICE officers,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
“We are praying for the speedy recovery of our law enforcement officer. The violence against our brave ICE law enforcement must come to an end. This is the second incident in a week where an officer was injured while arresting an illegal alien. This type of rhetoric is contributing to our ICE officers facing a more than 1,000% increase in assaults against them. It is time to tone down the rhetoric.”
Last week, a fleeing illegal alien was shot dead as he dragged an ICE officer down a street in Chicago.
In both cases, the injured agents were hospitalized in stable condition.
Illegal aliens and radical leftists have become increasingly brazen in their resistance to immigration law enforcement.
