ICE Officers Shot Suspect in Car Attack

0:00On April 7th, ICE officers in California shot and wounded a suspect on Tuesday after he tried to ram one of them with his car. The guy was a wanted gang member from El Salvador, in the country illegally, and IC had been looking to question him about a homicide. Acting IC director Todd Lyons explained that as officers got close to the vehicle, the man went on the attack, turning his car into a weapon. They fired back in self-defense to protect themselves, their team, and bystanders. The suspect ended up in the hospital, and the FBI showed up at the scene to help investigate. No other injuries were reported from the quick exchange. This fits a bigger pattern. Department of Homeland Security stats show ICE officers face 66 vehicle attacks in the first year president. Donald Trump's second term, jumping from just two the year before. Incidents like this, highlight the risks agents face daily, and authorities are keeping a close eye as the probe continues.
