Official Press Release
WASHINGTON – The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) condemns violent acts against all federal law enforcement as just yesterday in Illinois criminal illegal aliens used their vehicles as weapons against federal law enforcement.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers were targets of two separate vehicular assaults in the Chicago metro area. In Bensenville, Illinois and again in Norridge, IL criminal illegal aliens weaponized their vehicles in deliberate attempts to ram and injure officers carrying out their sworn duty to uphold our nation’s immigration laws.
“Thankfully none of our law enforcement was killed because of these deranged criminals’ attacks on law enforcement. This is exactly what happens when Governor Pritzker, Mayor Johnson, and other sanctuary politicians demonize ICE and encourage illegal aliens to resist law enforcement,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Our ICE law enforcement is facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults—including cars—being used as weapons against them. Secretary Noem has been clear: anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
These back-to-back attacks underscore the dangers ICE law enforcement officers face every day as they remove criminal illegal aliens from American neighborhoods.
In the first assault in Norridge, IL, Miguel Escareno De Loera, a criminal illegal alien from Mexico, rammed his vehicle into an ICE law enforcement vehicle twice. He then jumped a curb and crashed his car into a stop sign—ending his violent assault.
Escareno De Loera entered the United States at an unknown date and unknown location, without inspection by an immigration official.
In the second instance, Widman Osberto Lopez-Funes, a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala, rammed his vehicle into ICE agents during a targeted enforcement operation, and then exited the vehicle and fled into his residence in Bensenville, IL. This criminal illegal alien was later arrested on scene without incident.
Lopez-Funes entered the United States at an unknown date and unknown location, without inspection by an immigration official.
Both criminals will remain in custody pending removal proceedings, and the Administration is pursuing criminal charges for assaulting law enforcement.
DHS will restore law and order and continue to protect American communities from criminal illegal aliens who choose violence.

wouldn’t ice officers be entitled to respond with lethal force after these illegals used their vehicles as a weapon? would save vast amounts of money in court and prison costs. only cost would be to ship their bodies back to country of origin, where they should be.
Shoot them all! Let God sort them out!
Their standard protocol is to either flee or hide. But all these attacks are media inspired.
Neither of these assailants should have survived their attacks.
“Removal proceedings”? Shouldn’t some form of punishment be levied prior to deportation?
drop them off half way home from c130
It seems to me that each of these criminals (each entered the country illegally) has now shown himself to be a violent terrorist, and should be treated as such. Each should be given a speedy trial and if found guilty, executed. Representatives of their respective countries should be invited to the executions. Mexico would not be happy, and might refuse to send tomatoes. The US response would be to not accept ANYTHING from Mexico.
We need to ban these assault weapons.
Assault with a deadly weapon & attempted murder – did they just guarantee themselves another 20 years in America?
Before any retribution comes forth, just remember: “These are the brave guys that built our country”.
