ICE Agents arrested a Cuban this Sunday in Minnesota following a chase and violent confrontation.
This refers to Juan Carlos Rodríguez Romero, who caused minor injuries to two agents in the incident, reported the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on X.
After a vehicle stop near Westminster Street, the city of St. Paul, he refused to roll down the window and fled the scene.
“Romero fled the scene, hitting one of the officers. ICE agents pursued him, and after a short chase, Romero stopped in a parking lot near his home and crashed into two parked vehicles,” reads the tweet.
After a new warning, the Cuban "began to ram an ICE vehicle with his car and ran over another agent."
"The agents stopped Romero's vehicle again and ordered him to exit. The agent who was run over by Romero's car fired two shots with his service weapon, which forced Romero to flee. No one was injured by the defensive shots," stated ICE.
Finally, “Romero drove up to the main entrance of his apartment complex, collided with another ICE vehicle, got out of his car, and attempted to flee to his apartment.”
"The officers chased him down and tackled him to the ground, where he continued to violently resist arrest and bit one of the officers," the information adds.
"Two agents sustained minor injuries and were taken to the hospital for evaluation. Romero was also taken to the hospital for evaluation. He is currently in ICE custody awaiting new charges," they concluded.
This Cuban entered the U.S. legally in 2024 through the CBP One application, according to information from ICE, which, as part of its anti-immigrant crusade, blames the Biden Administration for "releasing over a million illegal immigrants completely unverified within the United States."
On December 16, ICE arrested two Cuban citizens with criminal records for serious offenses, whom they included in the list of "the worst illegal foreign criminals" in the country.
It concerns Pablo Iván Gómez Torres, whose record includes convictions for homicide, robbery, kidnapping, and fraud in Miami, Florida; and Mauro Humberto López Alemán, who had been convicted of arson in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
