🇺🇸BREAKING: Honduran national Reinieri De Jesus Licona Amador, 27, was arrested after he allegedly climbed out of his truck and swung a hammer multiple times at 2 ICE deportation officers during a targeted stop in Gibbsboro, New Jersey.
Officers had pulled him over after a license plate check showed he lacked lawful status in the U.S., and they say he ignored commands, grabbed the hammer from a tool container, and continued swinging even after they deployed OC spray.
He faces a charge of assaulting federal officers with a deadly weapon that carries up to 20 years in prison, as HSI officials noted assaults on federal officers have surged more than 1,600%.
