Apparently, the dead suspect was a prior Port Runner, which is a felony.

What's a "Port Runner", and how could that possibly come into play here?

It's like a blockade runner...someone who blows through the Port of Entry without stopping.

I 'spect that explains how it matters...

A "Port Runner" is an individual that has entered the US at a Port of Entry and speed through to avoid being inspected.

It is a felony and a great risk to the Immigration and Customs Inspectors, as the subject usually attempts to run us over.

I had a guy take off will I had my arm in his window. Damn near ripped it off. I've also had them run over my feet.

I can only speculate, but I would bet the subject attempted to hit the CI with his vehicle.

Port Runners are really dangerous and have zero respect for our laws or our border employees. My daughter (Customs Inspector) was almost killed by one. I'm delighted they caught this one and he won't be a further problem. It will be interesting to see what was in the car when they get done dismantling it. If anyone finds out, please post.
