SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A migrant was arrested Monday on suspicion of crashing into two government vehicles and injuring a federal officer after trying to leaving the area during a law enforcement vehicle stop, authorities said.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced the suspect was from Mexico and had been deported from the U.S. twice with a prior conviction for driving under the influence.
In October 2020, records show the migrant was smuggled into the U.S. two times after hiding in the trunk of a vehicle that crossed through the San Ysidro Port of Entry, according to ICE.
ICE states its goal is to arrest individuals who threaten public safety and national security while enforcing immigration laws under federal guidelines.
