The FBI on Monday arrested an alleged illegal immigrant and suspected gang member after authorities say he rammed an ICE officer with his car during a traffic stop last week.<\/p>\n

Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, 36, a national of El Salvador residing near San Francisco, California, was charged with assault on a federal officer with a deadly weapon, according to the Department of Justice on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Authorities previously said agents conducted a targeted vehicle stop because they suspected Mendoza Hernandez of being affiliated with the 18th Street Gang. He was also believed to be in the U.S. illegally<\/a> and wanted in connection with a murder investigation in El Salvador.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his attempt to flee, he allegedly weaponized his vehicle and was subsequently shot by law enforcement. He was transported to a hospital, where he recovered for several days before being medically cleared and taken into custody.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ICE INVOLVED IN SHOOTING AFTER AGENCY SAYS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT GANG MEMBER TRIED TO RAM OFFICE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Mendoza Hernandez refused to comply with lawful orders from federal officers, operated his vehicle in a manner that damaged a federal vehicle, and drove his vehicle toward officers in a manner that would have caused serious bodily injury or death had the officers not taken evasive action,” FBI Special Agent Brian Toy said in a recently unsealed criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to federal prosecutors, four agents conducted the targeted vehicle stop in Patterson, California, about 70 miles southeast of San Francisco, last Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As agents attempted to detain him, he “eventually drove forward and hit an agent with his vehicle.” He then reversed abruptly and violently collided with a law enforcement<\/a> vehicle parked behind him in a possible attempt to create room to escape, the complaint said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He again attempted to ram two agents in front of him, forcing one agent to jump out of the way to avoid harm.<\/p>\n

“Based on my training and experience, and after reviewing relevant video evidence from the encounter, I believe that if Agent 1 had not moved, he\/she would have been struck by Mendoza Hernandez and would have suffered serious bodily injury or death,” Toy said in the complaint.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In response to his vehicle’s movements, agents discharged<\/a> their firearms, striking Mendoza Hernandez several times.<\/p>\n

Mendoza Hernandez then fled the scene by jumping the center median and driving the wrong way against traffic, eventually bringing his car to a stop on the side of the road.<\/p>\n

The attorney representing Mendoza Hernandez said that his client was shot in the mouth, left arm, left leg, abdomen and somewhere on his right side, according to Fox 2 KTVU<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was reportedly in the ICU as of Monday and “was in no condition” to be released, attorney Patrick Kolasinki added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His family and attorney have also disputed ICE\u2019s claim of gang ties, while citing documents that reportedly show he was acquitted of murder in El Salvador, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

“Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez is a loving father and partner who was shot today by ICE in a tragic case of mistaken identity,” Kolasinki said last week in a GoFundMe page.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“On his way to work, Carlos was stopped by ICE and, in a moment of fear, tried to flee. The situation escalated, and he was shot. Now, Carlos is in the hospital, fighting for his life, while his fianc\u00e9e Cindy and their 2-year-old daughter wait and hope for his recovery.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office said his custody status will be determined during his initial appearance before a U.S. magistrate judge.<\/p>\n

If convicted, Mendoza Hernandez faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.<\/p>\n
