ICE reported the suspect is in custody and cited a large increase in attacks on its officers—66 vehicular attacks from Jan. 21, 2025 to Jan. 7, 2026 versus two the prior year—while attributing broader responsibility to sanctuary policies and the CBP One app. ICE officials say the incident will be prosecuted and emphasized officer safety.
