Deputy U.S. Marshal and Suspect Injured During Immigration Operation in Los Angeles

A deputy U.S. marshal and a suspect were injured during an immigration enforcement operation in South Los Angeles on Tuesday morning. The incident occurred when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, assisted by U.S. Marshals, attempted to apprehend a suspect who had previously escaped custody. During the operation, the suspect allegedly used his vehicle to ram law enforcement vehicles in an attempt to flee. In response, officers fired shots, resulting in the suspect being wounded in the elbow and a deputy marshal sustaining a hand injury from a ricochet bullet. Both individuals were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The U.S. Marshal Service confirmed that their deputy is in stable condition. The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General, Homeland Security Investigations, and the FBI are investigating the incident.
