Federal immigration agents arrested a Cuban national this week after he used his vehicle as a weapon, ramming two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) vehicles while attempting to evade arrest in a busy San Antonio parking lot.
According to ICE and local law enforcement sources, 25-year-old Cuban national Robyn Argote Brooks, who entered the United States in 2024 via the Biden regime’s disastrous CBP One app, refused to comply with federal officers during a targeted immigration stop near the Walmart Supercenter on Blanco Road on January 13.
Video footage shows Brooks refusing orders to exit his vehicle, then accelerating in reverse and forward in a flagrant bid to escape, smashing into federal vehicles deployed to block his path.
One ICE agent, identified as Field Office Director Miguel Vergara, was hospitalized with injuries sustained when one of the agency’s vehicles was struck.

Federal officials confirmed Brooks was ultimately subdued after an agent broke into the vehicle and took him into custody. He now faces a federal felony charge of destruction of government property, which carries up to a decade in prison and significant fines if convicted.
“One of our officers was injured in this vehicle attack and we are praying for him, his health, and his family. As sanctuary politicians have encouraged illegal aliens to evade arrest, they have created an environment that incites violence against our law enforcement,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
“Our ICE officers are facing a 3,200% increase in vehicle attacks against them and a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them. Secretary Noem has been clear: anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
Under Trump’s administration’s renewed focus on enforcement, DHS officials are revealing a staggering spike in aggression from those who feel entitled to remain in the country illegally.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin warned that ICE officers are currently facing a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks compared to the same period last year.
