While resisting arrest, a pedophile, twice-removed illegal immigrant in Houston , assaulted an ICE officer, resulting in a severe laceration and burns on his face, according to a statement by the Department of Homeland Security. DHS said that during an operation on Monday in Houston, a Salvadoran illegal immigrant named Walter Leonel Perez Rodriguez "brutally beat" an ICE officer with a metal coffee cup, resulting in the injuries. The agency said the officer suffered burns to the side of his face and a severe laceration to his mouth, resulting in 13 stitches. This comes as Homeland Security law enforcement officers are facing a 1,000 percent increase in assaults in the line of duty, according to the agency.

An immigration judge issued a removal order against Perez Rodriguez on June 11, 2013, and he was removed that same month. However, he re-entered the country illegally at an unknown time and was again removed by ICE on Feb. 24, 2020. Besides repeat illegal re-entry, which is a felony, DHS said that Perez Rodriguez has a criminal record that includes a conviction for a sexual assault of a child under 17 years old, child fondling and multiple DUIs. The agency said he is now in ICE custody and "can no longer pose a threat to Americans." Commenting on the incident, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said that "This repeated criminal illegal alien is about to find out the hard way that there’s a new sheriff in town—and under President Trump and Secretary Noem, anyone who lays a hand on our ICE officers will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
