ICE Agent to Surrender Monday After Houston Assault Indictment
An ICE agent indicted for ramming a fleeing Mexican worker in Houston is set to turn himself in Monday, according to his legal representative.
POLICY WIRE — Houston, U.S. — An employee of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement currently facing assault charges for striking a man with his vehicle plans to surrender to authorities on Monday. This timeline was confirmed by David Lindenmuth, the agent’s legal representative.
The criminal accusation stems from an incident in Houston where the officer allegedly rammed his car into a Mexican national. The officer is specifically accused of intentionally using his vehicle as a weapon against the individual.
The case escalated this week when a Texas grand jury formally indicted the officer on Friday. The indictment carries the classification of a felony, reflecting the severity of the alleged vehicular assault.
