An affidavit completed by an FBI Task Force Officer stated that Border Patrol agents encountered Benitez near Brownsville. He fled, allegedly ignoring commands in the Spanish language to stop before agent Mario Gonzalez grabbed Benitez by his shirt collar in an attempt to arrest him, according to the document.

An altercation ensued in which Benitez struggled and struck Gonzalez with his fists and forearms. “Agent Gonzalez and Benitez wrestled and fell knee deep into a resaca, where Agent Gonzalez continued to attempt to gain control of Benitez,” the complaint stated.

According to the affidavit, Benitez grabbed Gonzalez’s firearm’s grip and pulled forcibly on it several times in an upward motion in an attempt to free it from its holster. The document stated that Gonzalez attempted to protect his weapon and alerted agents in the area of the struggle by shouting, “He’s going for my gun!”

You don't win a right to be here illegally. Sorry.
