Image: @DHSgov/XOn Sunday, ICE agents were forced to open fire as an SUV driven by an illegal from Cuba plowed into them in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The SUV, driven by Juan Carlos Rodrigues Romero, was noncompliant during a lawful vehicle stop conducted by officers. He refused to roll down his windows and attempted to flee from officers.

He was stopped again, this time in a parking lot, and began repeatedly ramming an ICE vehicle and striking another officer. The officer who was struck by Romero’s car defensively fired two rounds from his service weapon.

The Department of Homeland Security shared, “On Dec. 21, ICE officers positively identified Juan Carlos Rodrigues Romero, an illegal alien from Cuba, as he got into a white SUV near Westminster Street in St. Paul, Minnesota. When ICE Enforcement officers conducted a lawful vehicle stop, officers approached and identified themselves as ICE law enforcement.”

“Romero was noncompliant and refused to roll down his window, causing officers to warn that they would have to break the window if he continued to not comply with lawful orders.”

“In response, Romero drove off, striking one of the officers in his attempt to escape. ICE officers gave chase, and, after a brief pursuit, Romero pulled into a parking lot near his residence and struck two parked vehicles.”

“Officers again stopped Romero’s vehicle and commanded him to exit. Romero began ramming his car into an ICE vehicle and struck ANOTHER ICE officer.”

“The officer who was struck by Romero’s car defensively fired two rounds from his service weapon, causing Romero to drive off again. No one was struck by any of the defensive shots fired.”

“Romero then drove to the front door of his apartment complex, rammed another ICE vehicle, then got out of his car and attempted to flee into his apartment. Officers pursued, and brought Romero to the ground, who continued to violently resist arrest and bit one of the officers.”

“Officers eventually subdued Romero and placed him in handcuffs. Two officers sustained non-life threatening injuries and were taken to the hospital for evaluation. Romero was also taken to the hospital for evaluation. He is currently in ICE custody pending further charges.”

“Romero was admitted into the United States in 2024 by the Biden Administration through the CBP One app, which released over a million completely unvetted illegal aliens into the interior of the United States.”
