“ICE shows up, and nothing but chaos.”

Less than a week after Republicans in Congress passed $70 billion in new funding for President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign, an immigration agent reportedly shot at a fleeing vehicle in New Jersey on Monday.

According to the police department of Stafford Township, Immigration and Customs Enforcement “was attempting to apprehend a suspect when the suspect fled from the scene in a vehicle, striking [an ICE agent]” on Monday morning around 9:30 am near a Wawa convenience store.

ICE identified the suspect as a Peruvian national, Friedrich Castillo-Ormeno, whom the agency said was given a final order of removal on January 30. Aside from describing him as an “illegal alien,” ICE provided no other information about his background or any criminal history.

“The agent discharged his firearm at the vehicle, reportedly striking it,” the Stafford police said. “The suspect fled the scene in the vehicle and has not been located at this time.” Onlookers told NBC 10 Philadelphia that bullets struck the driver’s van and may have blown out the back window.

The police added that “the agent reportedly sustained unknown injuries.” According to Patch, officers went to the scene and performed first aid on the agent before transporting him for further treatment. Sources told NBC 10 Philadelphia that he is expected to make a full recovery.

“It is unknown if the suspect was injured at this time,” the Stafford police said, adding that although Castillo-Ormeno fled the scene, “there is no reason to believe there is any concern for the public’s safety.”

Under the Department of Homeland Security’s use-of-force policy, agents are not supposed to shoot at fleeing vehicles unless the officer believes they are at imminent risk of death or serious physical injury.

ICE said Castillo-Ormeno “weaponized his vehicle and struck an officer, resulting in the officer discharging his weapon.”

According to Patch, local police are not conducting an investigation into the incident, and all further updates will come from the FBI.

Under Trump, the US Department of Justice has faced criticism for locking state and local investigators out of investigations into the shootings of US citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis earlier this year and spreading false information to justify their deaths.

Minnesota became the center of a national wave of resistance to ICE that ultimately pushed federal immigration agencies to retreat on some of their most extreme tactics, though the mass deportation push against immigrants largely without criminal histories has not subsided.

New Jersey has met ICE with its own share of pushback. Last month, US Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) was pepper-sprayed by federal agents outside the privately run Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark. Demonstrators had shown up in solidarity with hundreds of detainees who had gone on a hunger and labor strike to protest the squalid conditions in the facility, and protests have continued for weeks.

Although Stafford Township is overwhelmingly Republican, The Daily Beast found that in the immediate aftermath of Monday’s reported shooting, some residents in a local Facebook group were wary about the tumult that ICE’s presence could bring.

“Immigrants have been in Stafford for decades with no problems,” one resident wrote in a local Facebook group where the incident is being discussed. “They are respectful and hardworking. ICE shows up, and nothing but chaos.”

“Who shoots at a van?” wrote another Stafford resident, who added that “[ICE] training is brutal.”
