WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced a criminal illegal alien from Mexico with previous charges for criminal trespassing and driving under the influence weaponized his vehicle in an attack on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) law enforcement and remains at-large.

“On March 11, 2026, ICE conducted a targeted vehicle stop to arrest Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sancheminal, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico. He was previously arrested for criminal trespassing and driving under the influence. During the attempted arrest, Corona-Sanchez weaponized his vehicle and rammed our ICE law enforcement officers.

Deyvi Daniel Corona-Sanchez was previously charged with criminal trespassing and driving under the influence. He illegally entered the United States in 2021 and was removed in 2022. He chose to commit a felony and illegally re-entered the U.S. at an unknown date and location.

This dangerous criminal illegal alien is still at-large. We request that if the public has any information of his whereabouts, please contact the ICE Tip Line at (866) 347-2423 or fill out the ICE Tip Form online.

This dangerous attempt to evade arrest comes after sanctuary politicians held webinars and provided resources and tips for how to openly defy ICE:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar providing tips for illegal aliens to evade arrests at homes, workplaces, or in public.
Dan Goldman posted a video online calling on illegal aliens to make a plan for ICE encounters.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass issued multilingual flyers and online resources advising illegal aliens on how to evade arrest.
California Governor Gavin Newsom released guides and sanctuary laws advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest. We are once again calling on sanctuary politicians, agitators, and the media to turn the temperature down and stop calling for violence and resistance against ICE law enforcement.
