The incident unfolded around 9 a.m. in a dense immigrant community where, according to Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, federal agents were carrying out “a targeted enforcement traffic stop” of an undocumented immigrant who “previously escaped from custody” and “attempted to evade arrest yet again.”
The suspect, Carlitos Ricardo Parias, was charged Tuesday night with assault on a federal officer, according to acting U.S. Atty. Bill Essayli. During the stop, the 44-year-old undocumented immigrant from Mexico “rammed his car into agents’ vehicles after they boxed him in and ordered him to submit to arrest,” Essayli said on X.
McLaughlin said ICE agents “fearing for the safety of the public and law enforcement … followed their training and fired defensive shots.”
Witnesses said the suspect was struck, and another bullet appeared to ricochet and wound a deputy marshal.
cLaughlin later confirmed that a law enforcement officer at the scene was hit in the hand by a ricochet and that the target of the operation was wounded.
