Illegal Alien Sends Two ICE Officers to Hospital After Attempt to Dangerously Evade Arrest

Illegal Alien Sends Two ICE Officers to Hospital After Attempt to Dangerously Evade Arrest WASHINGTON — On, April 2, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers attempted to arrest an illegal alien with a final order of removal, but the illegal alien chose instead to dangerously evade arrest—endangering himself, law enforcement, and the general public. On Thursday afternoon, ICE officers conducted a targeted operation to arrest Ever Omar Alvarenga-Rios, an illegal alien from Honduras with a final order of removal from a judge. Officers tried to conduct a vehicle stop, but instead of complying with law enforcement, this illegal alien drove recklessly through the streets of Baltimore. The illegal alien slammed on his brakes, causing a multi-car pileup.  Alvarenga then attempted to flee on foot and continued to disobey law enforcement commands. ICE law enforcement followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary to make the arrest.   Alvarenga and the two officers involved were transported to a local hospital for treatment including a concussion. Alvarenga remains in the hospital in ICE custody. Obstructing law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime.  “This illegal alien broke our laws, resisted arrest, sent two ICE law enforcement officers to the hospital, and endangered the general public. Thankfully both our officers are expected to make a full recovery,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This dangerous attempt to resist arrest comes after sanctuary politicians have encouraged illegal aliens to evade arrest by hosting webinars instructing illegal aliens how to avoid being caught. Sanctuary politicians must stop encouraging this reckless behavior that endangers illegal aliens, our officers, and the public.”   Alvarenga first entered the country in 2014 and was released under the Obama administration. In 2018, a federal immigration judged issued him a final order of removal. He had every chance to leave the United States but chose to continue to break the law and remain in the country illegally. This avoidable incident comes after sanctuary politicians held webinars and provided resources and tips for how to openly defy ICE: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar in February providing tips for illegal aliens to evade arrests at homes, workplaces, or in public. Dan Goldman posted an online video calling on illegal aliens to make a plan for ICE encounters. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued multilingual flyers and online resources advising illegal aliens on how to evade arrest. California Governor Gavin Newsom released guides and sanctuary laws advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest. ICE officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them. We are once again calling on sanctuary politicians, agitators, and the media to turn the temperature down and stop calling for violence and resistance against ICE law enforcement.

DHS Reveals Suspects Connected to Explosive Device at MacDill Air Force Base Are Children of Illegal Aliens

 Press Release:

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of Public Affairs

DHS Reveals Suspects Connected to Explosive Device at MacDill Air Force Base Are Children of Illegal Aliens Case highlights grave danger of granting birthright citizenship to children of illegal aliens​ WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested the illegal alien parents of Ann Mary Zheng and Alen Zheng, two siblings who are connected to the attempted attack on the MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida on March 10. According to the Department of Justice, Ann Mary Zheng was charged “with assisting after the fact related to her brother, Alen Zheng, placing an improvised explosive device at the MacDill Air Force Base Visitor’s Center in Tampa and evidence tampering.”  The DOJ added that “Ann Mary Zheng, knowing that her brother, Alen Zheng, had attempted to damage government property by fire or explosion, assisted him in order to hinder and prevent his apprehension, trial, and punishment.” The alleged perpetrators of this attack on a U.S. Air Force base were born in the U.S. after their parents illegally entered the country. The attempted attack illustrates why the improper recognition of “birthright citizenship” for children of illegal aliens is not only inconsistent with the Constitution, but endangers all Americans. “Automatically granting citizenship to children of illegal aliens born in the U.S. is based on a historically inaccurate interpretation of the Citizenship Clause and poses a major national security risk. That reality became apparent last week when two U.S.-born children of Chinese illegal aliens were indicted for planting a potentially deadly explosive device outside MacDill Air Force Base in Florida,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This incident underscores the severe national security threat that illegal immigration and birth right citizenship pose to the United States.” Ann Mary Zheng was arrested by federal authorities upon her return from China. Authorities believe her brother Alen Zheng is still in China. Ann Mary Zheng In wake of the investigation, on March 18, ICE apprehended both parents, who remain in ICE custody. The parents, Qiu Qin Zou and Jia Zhang Zheng, illegally entered the U.S. at an unknown place. Qiu Qin Zou In 1993, they both applied for asylum, but an immigration judge denied those claims and ordered both Zheng and Zou removed from the U.S. in 1998. The Bureau of Immigration Appeals denied multiple attempts by the pair to have their case reopened, but they illegally remained in the U.S. for decades despite being ordered removed almost 30 years ago. Jia Zhang Zheng On day one in office, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order, titled, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of Citizenship.” President Trump added, “The privilege of United States citizenship is a priceless and profound gift.” And yet, that sacred honor has been abused because previous—and incorrect—interpretation of the law has allowed birthright citizenship—meant for children of slaves after the Civil War—to be granted to any child of an illegal alien. That executive order is now being challenged in the Supreme Court. Under President Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, DHS will continue to ensure that our entire immigration system—legal and illegal—puts the American people first.
