A Colombian national is facing up to 20 years in prison after allegedly breaking an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer’s nose during an attempted arrest in Roselle, New Jersey back in February during an enforcement operation.
The 27-year-old man, identified as Hector Villegas-Alvarez, was approached by ICE agents who had determined he was unlawfully present in the United States and subject to deportation.
According to an official statement by the New Jersey Attorney’s Office, Villegas-Alvarez exited his vehicle when ordered to do so but physically resisted arrest, locking his arms and tensing his body when officers attempted to apply handcuffs.
I know most people don’t carry guns every day. My hope is that this changes and ICE has to fear a Ruby Ridge with every door they knock on, a North Hollywood shootout with every car they stop. You aren’t going to stop them taking you with kind words. Make them kill you in the street, don’t go shuffling off quietly.
