The ensuing pursuit ended quickly as the driver and occupants suddenly bailed out and fled on foot.
Arriving USBP agents can be seen chasing the suspects, with one agent collaring a male illegal in a driveway.
As the agent attempted to restrain the man, he fought back, ultimately slipping out of his shirt and running away.
“USBP Agents arrived on the scene and assisted in apprehending 7 illegal immigrants from Mexico,” TxDPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez explained in a statement.
“One of the illegal immigrants refused to cooperate and resisted arrest against one of the agents but was ultimately arrested.”
The driver was identified as Macedonio Rios, a Mexican national who has been living illegally in Roma, Texas.
Rios was charged with evading arrest and smuggling of persons.
