An agent fired a weapon and struck another another man suspected of interfering with the arrest of Gaspar Avendano-Hernandez -- identified by ICE as a twice-removed undocumented immigrant with a 2011 assault conviction. CNN reached out to ICE to respond to Yañez Cruz's comments about the ICE agents not wearing badges or uniforms. But Avendano-Hernandez was released from local custody before ICE could lodge an immigration detainer, the statement said. In September, an ICE officer opened fire and wounded a man in a Tennessee grocery store parking lot while attempting to make an immigration arrest. The officer fired two shots after a man he was trying to arrest during a fugitive operation drove toward him while fleeing, ICE spokesman Bryan Cox said.
