Criminal illegal immigrant rams car into ICE vehicle, agency says
A criminal illegal immigrant allegedly rammed a car into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle, the agency said.
ICE identified the suspect as Jose Miguel Espinoza, of Guatemala, in a social media post on Sunday evening.
"The same vehicle Jose used to ram us was previously used to transport criminal illegal aliens," ICE said in an X post, noting that the incident happened during the weekend.
The agency did not disclose where the alleged ramming occurred.
The post included four photos, with one showing the suspect's face and another image showing him in handcuffs. Two other pictures showed damage one of the vehicles sustained during the crash, as a front bumper appeared busted off and on the ground.
"In addition to deportation, Jose now faces severe legal consequences," according to ICE.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently said ICE officers are facing a 3,200% increase in vehicle rammings. She also said they are facing an 8000% increase in death threats, as well as a 1,200% increase in assaults.
"Let me be clear, President Trump and his entire administration stand fully behind the heroic men and women of ICE, and will always uphold Law and Order in the United States of America," Leavitt said. "The deadly incident that took place in Minnesota yesterday occurred as a result of a larger, sinister, left-wing movement that has spread across our country, where our brave men and women of federal law enforcement are under organized attack."
Leavitt shared the news during a media briefing a day after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during a raid in Minneapolis.
The agent, who has been identified as Jonathan Ross, fired his gun after Good allegedly tried to ram him and other officers with her SUV. Ross reportedly suffered internal bleeding when he was hit by her vehicle.
