Criminal Illegal Alien Uses Vehicle to Attack ICE Officer in Sacramento, Remains at Large
On March 25, 2026, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents attempted to arrest Xa Lee, a fugitive illegal alien from Laos with an extensive criminal record including vehicle theft, DUIs, and felony firearm possession. During the vehicle stop in Sacramento, Lee attempted to escape by striking an ICE officer with his vehicle before fleeing the scene.
The officer involved was injured but survived; Lee remains at large, posing an ongoing threat. This incident occurs amid a dramatic 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks targeting ICE officers, underscoring the rising dangers faced by immigration enforcement agents.
The surge in attacks on ICE personnel complicates law enforcement’s ability to conduct operations safely and may prompt calls for enhanced officer protections. Communities and ICE agents alike face increased risks as violent resistance to arrests intensifies.
Officials continue searching for the suspect. The incident serves as a grim reminder of growing violence tied to criminal illegal aliens and the challenges of securing public safety during immigration enforcement efforts.
