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.
For the record, he was already facing life in prison. Or worse. This administration is not just sending people “back”. They’re sending people to die. Good luck trying to scare obedience into people on death row.
Yah if he’s headed to El Salvador then he was never coming home to begin with. Land of the free, home of the brave huh.
