A 32-year-old man was hospitalized with a concussion and “significant injuries” after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents rear-ended his vehicle in Baltimore, according to his attorney and a U.S. senator.

Ever Alvarenga Rios’ vehicle was “violently rear-ended” by ICE agents Thursday morning, his attorneys told WMAR-2 News. Now, he’s in the hospital after sustaining “significant injuries” to his head, chest, back and hands, according to Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland.

“After the accident, he was detained & ICE now refuses to allow his attorneys to meet with him privately, a clear denial of the due process rights afforded to all under our Constitution,” Van Hollen wrote on social media on Saturday. “ICE tactics are endangering our communities & violating the Constitution.”

The senator described Rios as an asylum seeker. WMAR-2 News reports that Rios is from Honduras, came to the U.S. 12 years ago and was in the process of seeking permanent citizenship. The Department of Homeland Security responded directly to Van Hollen’s post and said ICE agents conducted a “targeted operation” to arrest Rios. The agency described him as an “illegal alien from Honduras with a final order of removal from a judge.”

1. When cruelty drives policy and violence is second-nature

we’re all at risk. This treatment of Mr. Alvarenga, designated by our government as an “other”, is depraved.

4. This

Violence is not completely fatal until it ceases to disturb us.
― Thomas Merton

It is very disturbing to me.

2. An "illegal" from Honduras. How ironic. Didn't pedopresident pardon the drug-running former president of Honduras,

Juan Orlando Hernández, who had been sentenced to 45 years in a U.S. federal prison for conspiring to import more than 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S.?

3. Trump pardoned Hernandez then invaded Venezuela and arrested Maduro for "running drugs" into the United States.

9. TSF is more pro-bribe than he is anti-drug.

5. Probably just wanted to hand him a bottle of water

Same shit,different day,different place.............

[DFW]

6. Assault and battery, possibly with an "intent to kill" added

I hope the local D.A. sees this as a cut and dried case.

There is no way they can classify this action as "in the normal course of carrying out their sworn duty."

7. American kindness drops a few points again...

[bluestarone]

8. These fuckers!! Again no one can identify the ICE? Am i right?

Something has got to be done about ICE's freedom to do what ever the fuck they want to do!!

10. We are liberating Iranians from being abused by armed agents of the state

[Attilatheblond]

11. Do Odds Makers have a formula on the % of ICE/CPB cretins who are actually trying to be murders?

Asking for several million people in the US.

[LoisB]

12. Not an "accident".

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Standard procedure according to former Customs and Border Patrol officer for decades. Can't recall her name.

Run into the car, smash windows etc. This shit has been going on far too long.

[OMGWTF]

14. Now this poor guy will have a fkton of hospital bills that he will never be able to pay.

I hope he gets a good lawyer and sues TF out of ICE.

[sakabatou]

18. Except, they're blocking him from seeing a lawyer

[Bayard]

15. The guy was going to his JOB!

Sounds like a hardened criminal sucking off the government teat, while working to get citizenship.

[Martin68]

16. Fucking animals.

[sakabatou]

17. ICE should be labeled a terrorist organization

[oasis]

19. ICE thugs are a detriment to our democracy.
