Here's How Many Vehicle Rammings Incidents ICE Has Faced in the Last Year

When Leftist Renee Good hit an ICE agent in Minneapolis yesterday, it wasn't the first time ICE agents were the targets of vehicle rammings. Cars are deadly weapons, and there's plenty of legal precedent to justify the ICE agent shooting Good after she struck him with her vehicle.

In the last year, ICE and CBP agents have been involved in more than 100 such incidents.

There have been more than 100 vehicular ramming incidents targeting ICE and CPB agents in the last year. More than 100.

For example, in October in Chicago, an ICE officer was hit by a car and dragged under the vehicle, sustaining serious injuries. And just last month in St.… pic.twitter.com/2HjjILWYmo— Megan Basham (@megbasham) January 8, 2026

Basham's thread continues with the Fox News report of the vehicle ramming in St. Paul.

Here's more on that incident:

Federal immigration officers were injured in St. Paul, Minnesota, after a Cuban illegal alien rammed ICE vehicles and struck agents during a violent encounter Sunday.

ICE officers identified Juan Carlos Rodrigues Romero, an illegal alien from Cuba, as he entered a white SUV near Westminster Street in St. Paul, Minnesota, then conducted a lawful traffic stop on Dec. 21.

When officers ordered Romero to roll down his window, he allegedly refused, prompting warnings they would break it if he continued to disobey lawful commands.

Instead, Romero drove off and allegedly struck one of the officers while attempting to flee.

That's almost the exact same scenario that played out yesterday in Minneapolis.

A man in Morrisville was also arrested for a similar crime.

Here's another one. Again, using vehicles as weapons has been the protestors go-to maneuver. https://t.co/dguU5xIOkg— Megan Basham (@megbasham) January 8, 2026

On October 5, an armed woman was arrested after ramming agents in the Chicago area. In Los Angeles, a man is facing prison time after ramming his vehicle into federal law enforcement agents. A man drove his car into the gate of an FBI facility in Pittsburgh in September.

Back in November, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said ICE and CBP agents were facing an "unprecedented" surge in vehicle ramming attacks. In a statement, DHS wrote:

“We are seeing the results of the Left’s constant demonization of the men and women of law enforcement. Dangerous criminals – whether they be illegal aliens or U.S. citizens – are turning their vehicles into weapons to attack ICE and CBP,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Still, the brave men and women of DHS will not be deterred and will continue arresting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens. Anyone who attacks law enforcement, especially using their vehicles, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” 

Since January 20, there have been 99 vehicle attacks against federal law enforcement, more than doubled compared to the 47 attacks faces during the same period last year. 

• There have been 71 vehicular attacks against CBP since January 20, compared to 45 vehicle assaults during the same period in 2024 – a 58% increase.
• There have been 28 vehicular attacks against ICE since January 20, compared to just 2 such incidents in the same period of 2024 – a 1,300% increase.

They also listed some of the incidents:

• November 13: Ever Gabriel Alvarez-Campos, a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador with pending criminal charges for second-degree assault, intentionally rammed his car into an ICE vehicle and fled the scene, endangering officers and members of the Adelphi, Maryland community. Alvarez then hit another vehicle and fled the scene on foot before being apprehended by ICE officers.   
• November 8: While conducting immigration enforcement operations in Chicago, Border Patrol faced four different vehicular ramming attacks in just one day. Four suspects were arrested, while one was thwarted by a Controlled Tire Deflation Device and another remains at large. 
• October 22: On a day in which Border Patrol agents faced numerous attacks throughout Chicago, there were three different vehicular attacks against law enforcement. Several of the arrested suspects had criminal histories, including a Latin Kings gang member with convictions for unlawful possession of a firearm, destroying evidence, and DUI.
• October 14: During an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, an illegal alien rammed CBP vehicles with his own and attempted to flee. Border Patrol pursued the suspect and managed to bring him to a stop using an authorized precision immobilization technique maneuver. The driver and his passenger, both illegal aliens from Venezuela, were arrested for assault on a federal agent and accessory to assault, respectively.
• October 2: ICE officers were targets of two different vehicular assaults in Illinois on the same day, with one in Bensenville and the other in Norridge. The suspects in both cases were criminal illegal aliens who were arrested.

This is all a direct result of the inflammatory rhetoric of Democrats, who have called ICE agents the Gestapo and fascists for more than a year. It must stop, and Democrats need to be held accountable for this increase in violence against law enforcement.

This is good context information that will NEVER be mentioned by the mainstream media.

[rktman]

According to the left, zero. LEOs jumping in front vehicles to justify use of force. Or they were just trying to park to comply. Sounds right.

[PeterPrinciple]

This is good context information that will NEVER be mentioned by the mainstream media.

I suspect Trump will mention this.................many times.

[ClearCase_guy]

“Hey, you crazy Leftists! There have been 100 ramming incidents against ICE agents!”
“But they deserved it.”

[Carl Vehse]

"This is good context information that will NEVER be mentioned by the mainstream media."

Because the mainstream media is the Enemedia.

[Magnum44]

Seriously though, how can these people afford car insurance given how they drive?

[FlingWingFlyer]

ICE needs to start carrying RPGs. There are far too many weaponized Hondas out there running around.

[Sarah Barracuda]

The commies dont care, they want a border less society, and if they get power back that is EXACTLY what will happen..there will be no more ICE, there will be no Dept of Homeland Security, EVERYONE will be allowed in, 100 million new people and that will be the end of the United States of America, so people have to make the decision what kind of America do they want, a no border society or a country with a border

ICE is dealing with insurgency in enemy territory.

“It must stop, and Democrats need to be held accountable for this increase in violence against law enforcement.”
*******************************

While I certainly agree with that sentiment I also have to ask myself why these ICE officers continue to place themselves in such a vulnerable position after 100+ attacks of this nature. Their training specifically warned them against approaching a vehicle from the front.

[TexasFreeper2009]

This is coordinated criminal action that opens them up to federal RICO charges

[TexasFreeper2009]

Every car used to block agents needs to be seized and everyone involved hit with RICO charges.

[joshua c]

ICE needs to up their game

given the number of incidents

they know what is coming

vehicles are the weapon of choice

why are they not preparing for this?

spikes

also the wheel net

i am sure there are others

[1Old Pro]

Every car used to block agents needs to be seized and everyone involved hit with RICO charges.

AND arrest anyone impeding the ICE vehicles, standing in the road or throwing stuff that breaks the windows etc. This has been allowed and that's why it escalates.

[TexasFreeper2009]

taking their vehicles from them hits them in the pocket book.

This, I think, is the dead terrorist’s “Award Winning Poem”

On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs
by Renée Nicole Macklin

i want back my rocking chairs,

solipsist sunsets,

& coastal jungle sounds that are tercets from cicadas and pentameter from the hairy legs of cockroaches.

i’ve donated bibles to thrift stores

(mashed them in plastic trash bags with an acidic himalayan salt lamp—

the post-baptism bibles, the ones plucked from street corners from the meaty hands of zealots, the dumbed-down, easy-to-read, parasitic kind):

remember more the slick rubber smell of high gloss biology textbook pictures; they burned the hairs inside my nostrils,

& salt & ink that rubbed off on my palms.

under clippings of the moon at two forty five AM I study&repeat

ribosome

endoplasmic—

lactic acid

stamen

at the IHOP on the corner of powers and stetson hills—

i repeated & scribbled until it picked its way & stagnated somewhere i can’t point to anymore, maybe my gut—

maybe there in-between my pancreas & large intestine is the piddly brook of my soul.

it’s the ruler by which i reduce all things now; hard-edged & splintering from knowledge that used to sit, a cloth against fevered forehead.

can i let them both be? this fickle faith and this college science that heckles from the back of the classroom

now i can’t believe—

that the bible and qur’an and bhagavad gita are sliding long hairs behind my ear like mom used to & exhaling from their mouths “make room for wonder”—

all my understanding dribbles down the chin onto the chest & is summarized as:

life is merely

to ovum and sperm

and where those two meet

and how often and how well

and what dies there.

illegals don’t get insurance. They just abandon the car and leave. I have to present insurance when registering my car and getting a license. Illegals, they don’t have to show anything and get automatically registered to vote.

[madison10]

Not in their training? They are not regular police.

[Toughluck_freeper]

When performing an arrest an officer would obviously place himself in front of the car to impede it from fleeing.
