Overview
- On I-17 in north Phoenix, an ICE officer fired two rounds at a vehicle as it sped away in the officer’s path, with driver Jose Garcia-Sorto treated for a wound and listed in stable condition.
- FBI agents are leading the Phoenix investigation, and officials have not clarified whether the officer was struck or whether Garcia-Sorto was hit by gunfire.
- In Ontario, California, DHS says a non-target driver reversed toward officers during a stop, prompting an ICE officer to fire before the driver fled and abandoned the car.
- Local reporting identified the Ontario driver as 24-year-old Carlos Jimenez, who was hospitalized and later booked into the West Valley Detention Center, as the original target was also reportedly apprehended.
- Ontario police said they were not involved in the shooting and handled traffic control, while DHS and the FBI investigate the incident against the backdrop of a broader pattern of recent ICE-related shootings and disputed claims of rising assaults on agents.
