“This morning, while carrying out an enforcement operation targeting a criminal illegal alien, the alien resisted arrest, attempted to flee the scene and dragged a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer a significant distance with his car. The officer sustained multiple injuries and is in stable condition. The illegal alien was pronounced dead,” says a DHS statement.
“ICE officers conducted a vehicle stop to arrest Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. He refused to follow law enforcements commands and drove his car at law enforcement officers. One of the ICE officers was hit by the car and dragged a significant distance. Fearing for his own life, the officer fired his weapon. The target of the enforcement operation was Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, a criminal illegal alien with a history of reckless driving. He entered the country at an unknown date and time.”
So an ICE agent nearly got killed because they needed to make sure a reckless driver was deported.
