Federal authorities say they are searching for a pair of illegal aliens who tried to ram a vehicle carrying immigration agents in Colorado on Thursday.
The harrowing incident unfolded at around 10 a.m. local time in El Paso County.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was conducting targeted operations in the Colorado Springs area when they reportedly came under attack from two suspects.
“Two criminal aliens attempted to ram their vehicle into ICE officers during a targeted enforcement operation in Colorado Springs, Colorado, July 31. As a result of their violent actions and to protect the officers and agents onsite, an officer fired three shots into the vehicle,” ICE explained in a statement.
“The aliens fled and later abandoned the vehicle. Law enforcement officials are currently searching for the fugitives.”
A shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area and remained in effect for nearly eight hours.
The FBI’s Denver field office told local media they are “investigating an alleged assault on a federal officer that occurred in El Paso County.”
The suspects remain on the loose, according to the latest available updates.
Additional details remain limited at this time.
Illegal aliens and radical leftists have become increasingly brazen in their resistance to immigration law enforcement.
DHS says attacks on ICE agents are up more than 830% since last year.
