ICE Agent Injured, unlawful Alien Dead in Targeted

On Friday, an ICE officer was dragged by a vehicle pushed by an unlawful alien and severely injured, but not before he was in a position to fire at the alien driving the vehicle. The event began with a focused site visitors stop, the intent of which was to take the unlawful alien, one Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, into custody for eventual repatriation.

Fox News’ Bill Melugin has particulars:

BREAKING: An ICE officer was severely injured in Chicago this morning after being being hit & dragged by an unlawful alien who resisted arrest during focused site visitors stop & tried to run over the ICE arrest staff with his vehicle. ICE shot and killed the alien as a outcome.

Chicago, we must notice, is a “sanctuary” jurisdiction. It’s not clear whether or not Villagas-Gonzalez was ever in the custody of local law enforcement, when the ICE brokers would have been in a position to decide him up – if they had been allowed to do so by the town. 

The post continues:

I’m told by a senior ICE source that the officer suffered lacerations and vital leg accidents but is predicted to be okay.

ICE assertion on who they had been focusing on:

“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.”

As we’ve lined right here at RedState, Immigration & Customs Enforcement, the Border Patrol, and the Department of Homeland Security have seen a dramatic uptick in indignant rhetoric, interference, assaults, and even outright assaults since the implementation of President Trump’s unlawful immigration agenda – by which we imply, implementing the law.

The official Department of Homeland Security press release states in half:

“We are praying for the speedy recovery of our law enforcement officer. He followed his training, used appropriate force, and properly enforced the law to protect the public and law enforcement,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Viral social media videos and activists encouraging illegal aliens to resist law enforcement not only spread misinformation, but also undermine public safety, as well as the safety of our officers and those being apprehended.” 

The DHS release goes on to notice that Villegas-Gonzalez had a historical past of reckless driving. It’s not identified when or where he entered the nation, but it’s identified that he did so illegally. And, again, this is what we voted for; the straightforward method or the onerous method, these people are going home. Villegas-Gonzalez selected the onerous method. 

We may notice that the unlawful alien’s act right here would have virtually definitely fallen into the class of assault with a lethal weapon – his car – had been it not for the fact that ICE has revoked his beginning certificates.

Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, unlawful immigration into our great nation has nearly stopped. Despite the novel left’s lies, new laws wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.
