In Ontario, California, two men have been arrested following a shooting incident involving federal agents during an immigration enforcement operation on Thursday. The altercation has drawn the attention of the FBI, which is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the event.

The incident unfolded around 6:30 a.m. on the 2800 block of South Vineyard Avenue. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the situation escalated when 24-year-old Carlos Jimenez was shot by federal agents. Following the shooting, Jimenez managed to drive back to his home, located in a nearby mobile home park, where his wife promptly transported him to the hospital. She mentioned that he had just left the house for work before the incident occurred.

As the investigation continues, neighbors have recounted the scene, describing how federal agents conducted searches of Jimenez’s residence and vehicle. Eventually, the vehicle was removed from the premises by a tow truck, adding another layer to the unfolding narrative.

Neighbors said they watched as federal agents searched Jimenez’s residence and vehicle, which was ultimately taken away by a tow truck.

He has since been released from the hospital and taken to the West Valley Detention Center.

In a statement to affiliate KTLA, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said ICE agents were conducting a traffic stop when an individual who was not the target of the enforcement operation pulled his vehicle in front of federal agents’ vehicles.

Officers ordered the driver to leave the scene. As the driver began to pull away, the car stopped and attempted to run officers over by reversing directly at them without stopping,” the statement read. “An ICE officer, fearing for his life, fired defensive shots at the vehicle.”

The target of the enforcement operation, who was reportedly behind the wheel of a gray Honda, may have attempted to flee during the melee, but was also later apprehended.

“This is not the first time that DHS claims that vehicles are being used against them,” Javier Hernandez with the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice told KTLA.

“We know that DHS has put out a statement saying that violence against these officers is up 8,000%, so this is not the first time this information is out there,” Hernandez told KTLA. “We have also seen how this information isn’t necessarily accurate.”
