ICE agent in NJ hit by fleeing suspect in van, opens fire

An ICE agent in New Jersey was struck by a van driven by a fleeing suspect and opened fire on the vehicle, striking it several times, authorities said.

The incident happened Monday morning around 9:30 a..m. near Mermaid Drive in Stafford Township’s Manahawkin community, about 60 miles east of Philadelphia as the agency was trying to capture a suspect.

The officer’s condition was not immediately known, but sources told NBC Philadelphia that he is expected to recover.

ICE has not released a description of the suspect or revealed whether the driver was injured. The outlet reports the van’s back window may have been blown out when the agent fired his weapon.

It was not immediately clear why the suspect was being pursued.

Route 72 where the incident took place is closed in both directions as authorities investigate and hunt for the van and driver.

Aerial footage from the scene showed about a two-dozen ICE agents wearing tactical gear, and the area was cordoned off with yellow crime scene tape.

Vehicle attacks against ICE agents have surged more than 3,200% since President Trump took office for his second term, an alarming uptick federal officials have blamed on “radical rhetoric from sanctuary politicians.”

Between Jan. 21, 2025 and Jan. 7, 2026, agents reported 66 attacks compared to only two during the same period in 2024, according to DHS data provided to The Post.

Tucker's Suckers are going to have another tiny meltdown, weeping and wailing.

I am going to be completely indifferent to their tantrums.

Suspect that ICE doesn’t have grenade launchers for standard issue...too bad. Maybe bring in the National Guard from a gun-friendly state, a couple thousand of them.
