Illegal Alien Rams His Car Into a US Marshall Vehicle and Is Shot In Return

Unfortunately, a ricochet hit a Marshall in the hand. He's expected to recover.

The illegal alien turns out to be a TikToker with a long history of following around and stalking ICE agents.

The Cultural Enricher was shot in the elbow which is too bad, really, because that was his cancer-curing elbow and who knows when he'll recover.

The illegal immigrant who was shot after allegedly ramming his car into federal agents in Los Angeles is a TikTok star famous for recording ICE arrests.

Carlitos Ricardo Parias -- who was hit in the elbow Tuesday in a tense standoff where a US marshal was also shot -- is known as Richard LA on TikTok, where he has more than 130,000 followers, ABC 7 reported.

He mostly follows ICE agents around Los Angeles, recording them detaining suspected illegal immigrants, getting him hundreds of thousands of views and likes.

The 44-year-old TikTokker, who had reportedly escaped from custody on a previous occasion, allegedly rammed his Toyota Camry into law enforcement vehicles after agents boxed him in following a traffic stop on Tuesday, officials said.

...

Parias was arrested and charged with assaulting a federal officer. He is scheduled to make his initial court appearance at the federal courthouse in Los Angeles on Wednesday and faces up to eight years in prison if convicted.

Despite Parias being in the country illegally and accused of dangerously ramming agents, he was celebrated by Los Angeles City Councilman Curren Price.

"Richard is a pillar of our community, a fearless citizen journalist whose authentic storytelling has consistently uplifted the unheard voices of South Central Los Angeles," Price wrote in a statement.

"At approximately 10:37 p.m., an individual drove a vehicle into the Secret Service vehicle gate located at 17th & E St, NW, in Washington, DC," the protective agency said in a statement.

Our investigation into the cause of this collision is ongoing."

The unidentified suspect was taken to a local hospital for a mental health screening.

It was not immediately clear whether the collision was intentional or accidental.

Vehicles have crashed into White House gates several times in the past, including in January and May of last year. In May 2023, a driver rammed a U-Haul into a gate and fessed up to plotting to kill former President Joe Biden.

The incident comes amid rising concerns about political violence in the US.
