Illegal immigrant from Mexico allegedly rams ICE vehicle in St. Paul, Minnesota

A criminal illegal immigrant was arrested Saturday after allegedly ramming his car into a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicle in Minnesota, according to federal authorities.

Tranquilino Sixto-Anorve, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was arrested after allegedly crashing into an ICE vehicle and a civilian car Saturday morning in St. Paul, officials said.

According to ICE, Sixto-Anorve had multiple convictions for drunk driving and was subject to arrest because his criminal history indicated he was a “threat to public safety.”

“This assault highlights the increased risks our brave men and women of ICE face amid hostile rhetoric and actions from anti-ICE agitators and politicians,” ICE said in a statement.

A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital that Sixto-Anorve entered the country illegally at an unknown date and location.

Sixto-Anorva is in ICE custody.

The incident comes amid heightened concern over illegal immigration and reports of anti-ICE agitators attempting to violently disrupt federal law enforcement operations.

DHS said earlier this month that ICE agents were facing a 3,200 percent increase in vehicle attacks.

According to DHS, from January 21, 2025 to January 7, 2026, ICE agents experienced 66 “vehicular attacks,” compared to two during the same period the previous year.

ICE also arrested an illegal immigrant in San Antonio, Texas, earlier this month. According to the agency, he “weaponized” his vehicle by crashing into two ICE vehicles and nearly running over an agent.

Cuban illegal immigrant Robyn Argote Brooks is accused of crashing into two ICE vehicles in a San Antonio parking lot in an attempt to evade arrest during a targeted vehicle stop, according to DHS.

Video of the incident shows Brooks driving a sedan that was surrounded by officers’ vehicles when he allegedly defied law enforcement orders and suddenly reversed, narrowly missing an officer and striking a federal SUV.

After unsuccessfully accelerating into the larger vehicle, Brooks then drove into another ICE sedan positioned in front of him, continuing to accelerate as officers attempted to stop him.

The confrontation ended when an officer reached through the driver’s side window and removed Brooks from the vehicle and placed him under arrest.
