"A U.S. Marshal and an illegal alien detainee were shot during an immigration operation in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The incident occurred federal agents surrounded and boxed in a target vehicle on Tuesday, Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported. The driver allegedly rammed federal vehicles in an attempt to escape, sources within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) further confirmed to the outlet.
Federal agents then opened fire, at which point the agent was struck in the hand by what is believed to have been a bullet ricochet, sources said. The illegal alien was also struck by a single bullet in the elbow. Both gunshot victims were transported to a local hospital and are expected to survive.
“These are the consequences of conduct and rhetoric by sanctuary politicians and activists who urge illegal aliens to resist arrest. Resisting arrest puts the safety of illegal aliens, law enforcement, and the public at risk,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement."
