Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, who has dual citizenship from El Salvador and Mexico, is charged with assaulting a federal officer for allegedly striking an agent with his car before reversing back into a law enforcement vehicle after he was pulled over on Interstate 5 in Patterson on April 7.
Kolasinski has said Mendoza panicked and tried to flee when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents blocked his car and did not intend to run over anyone. He also disputed claims by officials that his client was a suspected gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in relation to a murder.
Mendoza has undergone several surgeries for multiple gunshot wounds.
The Department of Homeland Security has said ICE officers fired defensive shots at Mendoza after he tried to drive into them. DHS said the officers were conducting an enforcement stop targeting Mendoza, 36, in Patterson, a city about 75 miles (120 kilometers) southeast of San Francisco.
Kolasinski said the case will move next to a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 5, with a status hearing set for May 4 ahead of a possible grand jury indictment. He said the legal fight ahead is expected to be lengthy.
"We will fight this case. It will be a very long fight, undoubtedly. ...This will take some time," Kolasinksi said.
