An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a man who resisted arrest and rammed his car into ICE officers Friday morning.
The Department of Homeland Security said the confrontation in the Chicago area was with Silverio Villegas-Gonzales, who did not have legal immigration status. Villegas-Gonzales dragged the officer who ended up shooting him “a significant distance” with his car, according to the DHS.
“We are praying for the speedy recovery of our law enforcement officer,” Tricia McLaughlin, the DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, said in a statement. “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.”
