A man who reportedly has a warrant for deportation has climbed a tree to escape authorities.
He’s been up there for hours as officers wait below.
News4 has been streaming the incident on Facebook.
According to a statement from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s San Antonio office, ICE, in coordination with the Texas Department of Public Safety, attempted to serve a criminal warrant on a man described as a “criminal alien" on Tuesday.
ICE officials said Raul Ical, a 29-year-old Guatemalan national, was stopped during a traffic stop involving the vehicle in which Ical was a passenger. Ical exited the vehicle and fled on foot, then entered the backyard of a nearby residence and climbed a tree to evade arrest.
Ical previously entered the United States unlawfully on March 27, 2013, and was subsequently removed to Guatemala on April 24, 2013. At an unknown date and time, he reentered the U.S. illegally.
Ical faces federal criminal charges for illegal re-entry after deportation.
A male voice could be heard talking to the man in Spanish, advising him not to get down, “No te bajes, Raul,” the man said.
The man later called out to Ical, “Do you want an attorney?
Ical signaled yes.
The man replied, "OK, we’re going to make them all famous."
This is a developing story. Check back for updates. Raul Trey Lopez contributed to this report.
If he’s in a tree, any branch office should be able to take care of the situation.
Geez just chop down the damn tree with him in it
Ongoing live......
Now if this illegal currently up a tree should break the branch he’s on and fall down breaking his neck, will you move this story to Breaking News?
Just wondering.
Shotgun with rock salt.
I was thinking that when I saw the title!!!!

Leave him be.
Arrest the a-hole interfering with ICE.
The landowner needs to throw a citizen’s arrest on the chimp. We don’t do that here in America.
Officer tackeberry knows how to get him down.
How will he drop a deuce? Asking for a neighbor.
Oh, brilliant idea; run up a tree, they said. That will save you, they said. Darwin award recipient.
Have you really evaded anything locked in your bathroom?
Send up a hungry black bear.
I imagine the democrats have already organized a group of agitators to be bussed in to “support’ this criminal invader. Democrats love their tree sitters.
“ Shotgun with rock salt.”
That’s what I dd.
Worked!
Just wait for a bit. One way or another he will be down in three days.
UPDATE: After over six hours hiding from authorities in the tree and evading officers’ attempts to safely remove him, 29-year-old Raul Ical was persuaded by negotiators to come down.
Great thread! Many thanks.
How long of leads do they have on the taser?
Seriously, part of the path to victory is making all illegals fear deportation, and begin the process of self deportation.
