ICE Pursuit From Targeted Stop Ends In Multi-Vehicle Crash

A multi-vehicle crash occurred in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Wednesday morning after federal agents pursued an individual. The person being pursued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital,” the St. Paul Police Department said in a release.

DHS said one of the damaged vehicles was an ICE vehicle. “The incident today at Selby and Western underscores the fact that ICE is still present, causing chaos, and putting residents at risk,” St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her said in a statement Wednesday. Liz Andriacchi and Christina Sanders live by the site of the incident and heard the crash. They said they saw a person crawl out the window of a red Toyota Prius onto the ground and run across the street while a federal officer chased him. “He was saying, ‘I’m going to tase you, I’m going to tase you’ and I was trying to yell out my window for him to go around the front the building so I could let him in, but he never made it around,” Andriacchi said. Abdi Ali was in the middle of the intersection when he saw the Prius speed up behind him and hit his vehicle. Then, the car crashed into Becky Zea’s car. Both confirmed to MPR News they were uninjured, but in shock from the scene.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin identified the man as Alexander Romero-Avila and said he came to the United States illegally from Honduras in 2022. Minnesota Reformer has more: Brandon Reader was about to get out of his car to go to Nina’s when he saw a red car fly by. He said a single federal agent in an unmarked sedan with sirens and flashing lights sped by, giving chase. The speed limit is 25 mph at the site of the car crash and surrounding streets in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood, which is a walkable mix of historic homes and restaurants. “If I wasn’t so slow just getting out of my own vehicle, I’d have been hit” by the federal agent’s car, Reader said. Christopher Jones was standing outside smoking a cigarette when the cars sped by. He said the man’s red Toyota Prius spun out of control as he came through the intersection and hit two cars before stopping when it hit a chunk of ice. The man in the Prius, who Reader said looked to be in his 20s, shimmied out of his car window feet first and fled on foot, Reader said. Witnesses said the man looked to be Arab or Latino. Jones said he also saw the man get out of his car window and watched the man run and jump over a fence. “I would be shocked if he was even incapacitated at the amount he was moving both when he got out of the vehicle and when I saw him in the back of the vehicle,” Reader said. The federal agent got out of his car to pursue the man, Reader said, not checking on others in the wreck. The agent quickly caught the fleeing man, Jones said. Multiple federal vehicles came to the scene. Reader watched as federal agents transferred the man from one federal vehicle to another. Reader, who called 911 immediately after the crash, said that the ambulance arrived around 20 minutes after the crash. The federal agents left shortly after the ambulance left.
