Federal immigration authorities were confronted with a life-threatening situation when an illegal alien managed to grab an officer’s gun while resisting arrest in the sanctuary state of Massachusetts.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was conducting targeted operations in the Boston suburbs on Wednesday when they encountered a previously-deported foreign male with a criminal history in the U.S., Katie Daviscourt of The Post Millennial reports.
Witness footage shows several officers attempting to restrain the man in a residential neighborhood in Everett as hostile bystanders began to gather.

“Stop resisting,” officers can be heard repeating.
Suddenly, a female officer shouted, “He’s grabbing your gun!”
The firearm fell onto the pavement and was retrieved by the female officer.
The criminal illegal was eventually taken into custody and now reportedly faces federal charges.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) figures obtained by Fox News indicate ICE apprehended 10,000 illegal aliens during the last five days of June.
“Since Day One, DHS law enforcement has been delivering on President Trump’s promise to the American people to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists,” DHS spokeswoman Lauren Bis stated.
“Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S. More than 3 million illegal aliens are out of the country and counting. Our message is clear: if you come to our country illegally, we will find you, we will arrest you, and we will deport you.”
