A shocking visa overstay arrest turned chaotic when a man and woman allegedly trapped a Homeland Security agent in their vehicle and drove him to a police station, raising fresh questions about immigration enforcement and respect for the rule of law. Confrontation Over a Visa Overstay Turns Dangerous Federal investigators say a routine immigration enforcement action turned dangerous when Homeland Security Investigations agents moved to arrest a man suspected of overstaying his student visa. According to charging documents, agents confronted the man as part of an operation targeting individuals who remained in the United States after their legal status expired. The situation escalated when, instead of complying, the man ended up behind the wheel with an HSI agent inside the vehicle against the agent’s will. Investigators report that, during the confrontation, a woman associated with the suspect became involved, and together the pair drove away with the federal agent still trapped in the car. The incident did not involve a spur-of-the-moment misunderstanding; prosecutors allege the vehicle left the scene with the agent “involuntarily” inside, triggering immediate concern for the agent’s safety. What began as an enforcement action over an immigration violation quickly turned into a serious criminal event. NEW DETAILS: HSI Agent was briefly kidnapped by an illegal alien from Nigeria, Oluwadamilola Ogooluwa Bamigboye and his girlfriend, Rekeya Lionesha Lee Frazier and the only message from the Woke, Sanctuary City Police is, “we don’t get involved with immigration enforcement”. https://t.co/54XnOE2f4Y pic.twitter.com/a87wIYqi7t — Dapper Detective (@Dapper_Det) December 12, 2025 Drive to the Police Station and Assault Charges Authorities say the man and woman drove the vehicle directly to a local police headquarters while the Homeland Security agent remained stuck inside. That bizarre choice raised questions for investigators about their intentions and judgment. Federal officials later charged both individuals with assaulting a federal officer, a serious felony that treats trapping or forcibly restraining an agent as an act of violence. The case now sits in federal court, where prosecutors will lay out the timeline and evidence in detail. By the time the vehicle arrived at police headquarters, multiple law enforcement agencies were already involved, signaling how seriously federal authorities view interference with immigration officers. The agent was safely recovered, but the alleged conduct will likely carry long-term consequences for both defendants. For many Americans, especially conservative voters, the episode underscores how far some individuals are willing to go to resist lawful immigration enforcement actions, even when officers clearly identify themselves and follow established procedures. Visa Overstays and Broken Immigration Enforcement Cases like this highlight a long-standing problem: visa overstays remain a major source of illegal presence in the United States, yet enforcement has often lagged far behind border rhetoric. For years, Washington politicians focused heavily on physical border crossings while downplaying the quiet, paperwork-based erosion of immigration law. When individuals overstay and still feel emboldened to resist arrest aggressively, it reflects a deeper breakdown in the culture of compliance that secure borders require. Conservative Americans watching this situation see more than just one criminal case; they see the legacy of an era when illegal presence was frequently excused, and agencies were pressured to soften enforcement. After years of messaging that treated immigration violations as minor technicalities, some offenders appear to believe there will be minimal consequences for ignoring lawful directives. That perception collides directly with the renewed push under President Trump to restore immigration law, prioritize removals, and support officers on the front lines.

Conservatives who backed stronger immigration controls have long argued that when leaders undermine or second-guess enforcement, criminals grow bolder. Incidents like this confirm those fears: when officers are treated as political targets instead of guardians of the law, some offenders gamble that resistance is worth the risk. The fact that this confrontation began with a visa overstay is particularly telling for voters demanding tighter immigration controls and stronger tracking of foreign students and visitors. They see a system that allowed someone to remain past legal limits, then escalate into alleged violence when finally confronted. For a conservative audience, the lesson is clear: America needs firm, consistent enforcement, serious consequences for assaulting federal officers, and an immigration system that prioritizes sovereignty, safety, and respect for the rule of law.

This year, Catholics in Massachusetts are protesting President Donald Trump’s immigration policies by swapping “Away in a Manger” for “Away With the Manger.” This marks yet another instance of Trump opponents weaponizing the Christmas story to demonize immigration enforcement by claiming Jesus was a refugee and suggesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement would have arrested and deported the Christ child in the manger. The Catholic priest at St. Susanna Parish in Dedham, Massachusetts, set up a classic nativity scene with shepherds, sheep, wise men, and … a sign reading “ICE was here” in the place where Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus would normally be. While the Catholic leadership opposed this “divisive political messaging,” the Rev. Stephen Josoma blamed the Trump administration for any division. Meanwhile, Lake Street Church of Evanston, Illinois, put baby Jesus in zip ties and an emergency blanket, and placed gas masks on the faces of Mary and Joseph. The church said this symbolizes the conditions of ICE detention facilities and the use of tear gas on “peaceful protesters, journalists, and community members advocating for immigration reform.” “The Holy Family were refugees,” the church posted on Facebook. “By witnessing this familiar story through the reality faced by migrants today, we hope to restore its radical edge, and to ask what it means to celebrate the birth of a refugee child while turning away those who follow in that child’s footsteps.” Was Jesus a Refugee? These strained analogies rest on a kernel of truth. According to Matthew 2:13-23, an angel appeared to Joseph, warning him to flee to Egypt because King Herod the Great aimed to kill Jesus. Herod ordered the slaughter of male children in Bethlehem, but Jesus survived in Egypt. God sent another angel to Joseph later, advising him to return to Israel because “those who sought the child’s life are dead.” Jesus arguably fit the definition of a refugee: someone forced to leave his or her country to escape war or persecution. However, anyone seeking to tie Jesus’ sojourn in Egypt to the plight of refugees or illegal aliens in America today will at once encounter a plethora of problems. Herod, the king who sought to kill Jesus, owed his position to the Roman Senate. Jesus fled Roman-ruled Judea to reside in Roman-ruled Egypt, and then returned to Roman-ruled Judea. Politically, Jesus’ flight to Egypt resembles a conservative family fleeing New York for Florida, or a liberal family moving from Texas to Illinois, more than it does a Somali refugee seeking asylum in the U.S. Jesus did not immigrate to Egypt and did not seek to become a citizen there. Furthermore, the Roman Empire at the time did not grant most of the population the right to vote, and it did not award government benefits to Jewish refugees in Egypt. Modern Western democratic welfare states need to regulate immigration more heavily than ancient empires did, partly because immigrants and refugees often claim benefits from the public purse, and these aliens may also seek to influence politics by voting or other means. Merely shouting, “Jesus was a refugee!” does nothing to address the serious concerns that illegal immigration poses. Caring for ‘The Least of These’ Christians should, of course, heed the Matthew 25 parable in which Jesus says God will reward us for helping “the least of these.” We should care for the sick, feed the hungry, and clothe the naked, to the best of our ability. These commands to love our neighbor do not extend to using the force of the state to redistribute funds, however. Jesus calls on us to love our neighbors, not to bully our neighbors into forking over cash so the government can then serve other neighbors. Contrary to the suggestion of the Evanston church, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were not political activists. Yes, Jesus came to usher in a new kingdom—but when the Jews sought to make him a king, he refused. Jesus did not set himself up as a political leader. Rather, he and his followers urged Jews and Christians to pay their taxes and to submit to the ruling authorities, knowing that the spiritual freedom of the gospel matters far more than any political cause. Jesus knew of political movements against Roman oppression, and he did not endorse them. Jesus’ decision not to lead a political rebellion against Rome likely contributed to the Jewish leaders’ scheme to have him executed. None of this is to say that Christians cannot support political causes, but it does mean that Mary and Joseph likely would not have joined the agitators who seek to block ICE from enforcing immigration law. Perhaps more importantly, ICE would not have removed Jesus from the manger—any more than it would remove conservative New Yorkers from Florida or liberal Texans from Illinois. Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, not an excuse to demonize law enforcement. It’s high time for St. Susanna Parish to put the Christ child back in the center of the nativity scene where he belongs.
