Texas Governor Greg Abbott said Wednesday that a migrant attacked a group of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents with his vehicle, leaving one officer injured, in the city of San Antonio.
The incident, ICE reported on its X account, took place Tuesday in the parking lot of a Walmart supermarket.
Migrant assaults ICE agents in Texas
Yesterday, in Texas, a criminal illegal alien tried to run over our officer – smashing vehicles and leaving one officer injured and sent to the hospital.

In a video posted by the agency on social networks, it can be seen how the agents intercept a vehicle and block its exit by placing one car in front and another in the back.
The driver of the vehicle attempts to accelerate, but finds himself surrounded.
Three agents approach the doors of the vehicle, knock on the windows and shout at him to get out of the car, pointing guns at him.
Towards the end of the video, the man is seen getting out of the car, throwing himself to the ground and being arrested by the agents.
In the images, however, the subject is not seen hitting or attacking the officers.
According to ICE, one of the agents involved was injured and subsequently transported to a hospital.
San Antonio police told EFE that they received no emergency calls about the incident.
This incident in Texas comes just over a week after a woman in Minneapolis, North Texas, died after being shot by an ICE agent during a raid in the city.
Over the past year, since President Donald Trump took office, the U.S. has seen an increase in violence and the use of lethal force by ICE agents and other Department of Homeland Security agencies in detention and deportation operations.
This violence occurs both in raids on communities and inside detention centers and in response to protests against deportations.
The Trump Administration, for its part, claims that agents and the Administration is facing a spike in “domestic terrorism,” motivated by opposition to the Administration’s anti-immigrant policies.
