Today, two violent criminal illegal aliens with rap sheets that include kidnapping started a high speed chase, they crashed into multiple cars, recklessly drove into a school parking lot, and fled into the school —endangering students, school staff, the public, and law enforcement officers —trying to evade justice.

Their criminal histories includes kidnapping, domestic violence, domestic battery, assault, battery, interfering with report of domestic violence, felony possession of cocaine, violating bail, criminal damage, DUIs resulting in revocation of drivers licenses, and both have previously been removed from the United States.

Border Patrol was conducting a targeted operation to arrest Josafat Garcia-Roa and Samuel Suarez-Cuevas and attempted to conduct a vehicle stop on Dugdale Road. Garcia-Roa, the driver, initially pulled over but then fled at high speed once he realized it was Border Patrol agents. During an approximately 10 minute chase Garcia-Roa hit multiple vehicles and during one crash lost a tire.

After driving on three wheels for a several more blocks the driver pulled into Warren Township Highschool parking lot and the driver and passenger fled on foot toward the school. Garcia-Roa was apprehended in the parking lot. Suarez, ran into the high school where he was apprehended inside.

This incident once again shows the harm of the rhetoric and coverage of our agents. These two criminal illegal aliens recklessly endangered the public by starting a highspeed car chase and then driving onto school grounds, possibly to seek protection since they are “ICE Free Zones”.

Border Patrol does not conduct enforcements near schools but will not allow criminal illegal aliens to put the public in harm’s way.
