LOS ANGELES (AP) — Federal officers shot a man in the elbow and a U.S. Marshal was hit in the hand with a ricochet bullet during an immigration enforcement operation in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security said.
The immigration agents fired “defensive shots” as the man they were trying to arrest rammed their car with his vehicle as he tried to escape a traffic stop, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. The man had entered the U.S. illegally and previously escaped custody, she said. It’s not immediately known when he entered the U.S. or was previously detained.
A ricochet bullet struck a U.S. Marshal in the hand. Both the marshal and the suspect are in the hospital.
“These are the consequences of conduct and rhetoric by sanctuary politicians and activists who urge illegal aliens to resist arrest,” McLaughlin said.
