An illegal immigrant has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers after he entered their Houston office parking lot carrying a knife and crack pipe, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.

Jose Andres Rodriguez-Torres voluntarily identified himself as Mexican when officers approached him, ICE confirmed.

When he dropped to the ground, ICE agents noticed a sheathed knife at his waist before arresting him.

Houston is home to one of the largest ICE field offices in the nation. 

Rodriguez-Torres’ arrest comes amid reports that threats and assaults against ICE officers have surged by more than 1,000% in recent years. 

Rodriguez-Torres will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.
