A Mexican national accused of assaulting an immigration deportation officer pleaded guilty to the charge in a San Antonio federal court.

Hugo Baltazar-Ramirez, a 23-year-old Mexican national pleaded guilty to assaulting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement Removal Officer (ERO) during a targeted enforcement operation carried out in Austin, Texas, in February. The ERO officer received minor injuries but did not require hospitalization.

“One ICE officer was injured in Austin, Texas, while he was arresting a criminal alien early in the morning of Feb. 10,” ICE spokesperson Adelina Pruneda said in a written statement sent to Breitbart Texas at the time of the incident. “The officer was treated and released from a local hospital.”

Court records obtained by Breitbart Texas from the Department of Justice’s Western District of Texas stated that Baltazar-Ramirez attempted to escape apprehension after the deportation officer placed him under arrest for being unlawfully present in the United States. The officer caught up with the man after about a 200-yard foot pursuit. The criminal complaint states that Baltazar-Ramirez then fought with the officer.

During the struggle, the officer got one handcuff on the suspect but was unable to place the second hand in the restraint. Baltazar-Ramirez then got on top of the officer. He allegedly began striking the officer’s head against the ground several times, causing injury that would require medical attention.

About this time, another arrived and assisted the deportation officer in gaining control of the suspect. Baltazar-Ramirez was placed in handcuffs.

The date for Baltazar-Ramirez’ sentencing hearing is currently pending. He faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison, followed by deportation.

AUSTIN – A federal judge on Thursday sentenced a Mexican national to 18 months in federal prison for assaulting a deportation officer in February.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Hugo Baltazar-Ramirez, 23, pleaded guilty on March 29 to the assault charge. Baltazar-Ramirez was arrested Feb. 10 after assaulting the officer, and KVUE’s partners at the Austin American-Statesman report that he was the person arrested near U.S. 183 and Anderson Mill Road while driving to work.

Feb. 10 was the date of several Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids throughout the United States, during which 51 people were detained in the Austin area. The KVUE Defenders learned several days later that 28 of those did not have prior criminal convictions before their arrests by ICE.

The Department of Justice added in their release that the FBI conducted the investigation.
