Left-wing terrorists are bringing jihadi-style terror attacks to America.

It's only a matter of time before they start packing the cars with explosives.



The indictment says agents tried to make contact with Martinez to warn him to stop following Border Patrol operations. Martinez then drove away “aggressively and at a high rate of speed,” and avoided officers by “swerving in and out of traffic, crossing medians and sidewalks, as well as driving into oncoming traffic down North Tryon Street.”

Authorities say in the indictment that at one point, Martinez drove the van into a SUV that had four federal officers inside and hit the SUV’s right-front fender.

Martinez was later caught after being boxed in by other vehicles, and he was taken into custody. Officers said they found a firearm in a bag in the vehicle.

Authorities said Martinez told agents “he was attempting to locate Border Patrol to confirm their locations and upload pictures into an invitation-only Instagram group chat.” Martinez said he took photos of Border Patrol officers at a U.S. Post Office on N. Tryon Street and then started following them to the parking lot. Martinez allegedly circled the parked vehicles twice and took pictures. One officer “grabbed the handle of Martinez’s van and attempted to open the door, [and] Martinez accelerated the van away while the Border Patrol Officer pounded on the sprinter van.”
