The illegal was identified as Carlos Ivan Mendoza, an alleged gang member wanted for questioning in connection with a murder in California, as well as a murder in his native El Salvador, according to KTVU-TV in Oakland.

His condition was unclear on Tuesday. There were no reports of injuries among ICE agents.

Following their training, our officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public.The illegal alien was taken to a local hospital. The FBI is on the scene. This is a developing situation and we will update the public when more information is available.”

I'm glad to hear they're still out there shooting people.

I was a little worried when that government shutdown thing happened.

Honestly, I figured that the left won this.

After all, Trump caved into their lawlessness and strategy to shut down deportations by intentionally getting a fed to kill someone in Minneapolis. When he fired Noem, that was a signal by Trump that they were calling the shots, not Him

It isn't as if there have been shootings in the country under the same exact circumstances -- this is one of them -- where the shooting was justified. Just as it was in Minneapolis.

They now have the formula to defeat the closed borders plan.

Just attack the feds, and they'll back down.

After this year, the Dems will never be out of power ever again.

Near miss for the Democrats. If only he had been a white lesbian to unify the Democrat party.

Keep shooting and more will decide to self-deport.
