President Trump’s FBI Announces Major Arrest
A Texas man has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for attacking a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Kevin Dominguez, 26, from Katy, was convicted after a 2023 incident at a Border Patrol checkpoint on U.S. Highway 57.
On August 1, 2023, Dominguez drove his sedan to the checkpoint, where a trained Border Patrol dog alerted agents to movement inside the vehicle’s trunk. Upon inspection, agents found a person hidden inside.
Instead of complying with orders, Dominguez suddenly reversed his car, striking one of the agents. He then sped away from the scene, attempting to evade law enforcement.
The injured agent was treated for his injuries, though the extent of the harm was not detailed in court records. Dominguez’s reckless actions led to a swift investigation and his eventual arrest.
Federal prosecutors emphasized the seriousness of assaulting a federal officer, which carries significant legal consequences. Dominguez’s decision to flee only worsened his legal situation.
After a thorough review of the evidence, including witness accounts and surveillance footage, Dominguez was convicted and sentenced to a year and a half in prison.
The case highlights the dangers Border Patrol agents face daily while enforcing immigration laws. Authorities hope the sentence serves as a deterrent against similar acts of violence.
