Illegal Alien Sends Two ICE Officers to Hospital After Attempt to Dangerously Evade Arrest

Release Date: April 4, 2026
WASHINGTON — On, April 2, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers attempted to arrest an illegal alien with a final order of removal, but the illegal alien chose instead to dangerously evade arrest—endangering himself, law enforcement, and the general public.

On Thursday afternoon, ICE officers conducted a targeted operation to arrest Ever Omar Alvarenga-Rios, an illegal alien from Honduras with a final order of removal from a judge. Officers tried to conduct a vehicle stop, but instead of complying with law enforcement, this illegal alien drove recklessly through the streets of Baltimore.

The illegal alien slammed on his brakes, causing a multi-car pileup.  Alvarenga then attempted to flee on foot and continued to disobey law enforcement commands. ICE law enforcement followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary to make the arrest.

Alvarenga and the two officers involved were transported to a local hospital for treatment including a concussion. Alvarenga remains in the hospital in ICE custody.

Obstructing law enforcement is a felony and a federal crime.

“This illegal alien broke our laws, resisted arrest, sent two ICE law enforcement officers to the hospital, and endangered the general public. Thankfully both our officers are expected to make a full recovery,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This dangerous attempt to resist arrest comes after sanctuary politicians have encouraged illegal aliens to evade arrest by hosting webinars instructing illegal aliens how to avoid being caught. Sanctuary politicians must stop encouraging this reckless behavior that endangers illegal aliens, our officers, and the public.”

Alvarenga first entered the country in 2014 and was released under the Obama administration. In 2018, a federal immigration judged issued him a final order of removal. He had every chance to leave the United States but chose to continue to break the law and remain in the country illegally.

This avoidable incident comes after sanctuary politicians held webinars and provided resources and tips for how to openly defy ICE:

• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hosted a webinar in February providing tips for illegal aliens to evade arrests at homes, workplaces, or in public.
• Dan Goldman posted an online video 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. ICE officers are now facing an 8,000% increase in death threats against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them. 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.
