A U.S. Marshal and an illegal immigrant were both shot Tuesday in Los Angeles during an immigration enforcement operation, Fox News has learned.
Federal agents surrounded and boxed in someone in a vehicle. The driver allegedly rammed federal vehicles in an attempt to escape, sources within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) told Fox News.
“During a targeted enforcement traffic stop in the Los Angeles area, an illegal alien—who had previously escaped from custody—attempted to evade arrest yet again,” a Department of Homeland Security statement to Fox News Digital said.
Federal agents opened fire. One U.S. Marshal was struck in his hand by what initially appeared to be a bullet ricochet, sources said.
The illegal immigrant suspect — later identified by Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli in an X post as Carlitos Ricardo Parias, 44, of Mexico — was struck in the elbow.
