Overview
- On June 17 in Bloomington, Minnesota, Roberto Carlos Munoz was arrested by ICE and federally charged with assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.
- Court documents allege Munoz accelerated with an officer’s arm inside his vehicle, dragging him roughly 100 yards before crashing.
- The ICE officer suffered severe arm and hand lacerations requiring 33 stitches and is expected to make a full recovery.
- Munoz, in the U.S. illegally since at least 2010, had a detainer lodged by ICE in 2013 and a 2022 conviction for sexually assaulting his 16-year-old stepdaughter.
- Federal authorities say the incident highlights broader enforcement challenges in detaining noncitizens with violent criminal histories.
