On April 2, 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers attempted to arrest Ever Omar Alvarenga‑Rios, a Honduran national with a final removal order, but he evaded arrest, driving recklessly in Baltimore and causing a multi‑car pileup. After refusing to comply with a vehicle stop, Alvarenga fled, and both he and the officers sustained injuries. Officers used the minimum force necessary and transported all parties to a hospital; Alvarenga was hospitalized in ICE custody with a concussion.
Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said the incident “broke our laws” and urged that “sanctuary politicians must stop encouraging reckless behavior.” Alvarenga entered the U.S. in 2014, was released during the Obama administration, and received a final removal order in 2018. The event follows webinars and resources from politicians that allegedly promoted evasion of ICE. ICE officials report an 8,000% rise in death threats and a 1,300% rise in assaults against officers.
