ICE agents and U.S. Marshals had attempted to apprehend suspect who previously escaped from custody
During a targeted operation in the Los Angeles area, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and U.S. Marshals attempted to apprehend an illegal migrant who previously escaped from custody, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation. However, the migrant allegedly used his vehicle to ram officers in an attempt to get away.
Agents allegedly fired defensive rounds in return, which hit the migrant in the elbow, but also ricocheted and hit an officer’s hand, according to DHS.
“This is a developing situation and information is preliminary: During a targeted enforcement traffic stop in the Los Angeles area, an illegal alien — who had previously escaped from custody — attempted to evade arrest yet again,” assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement provided to the DCNF. “ICE law enforcement officers, assisted by U.S. Marshals, pulled the illegal alien over in a standard law enforcement procedure.”
