Per DHS:
During a traffic stop, Munoz-Guatemala refused to exit his vehicle. He tried to flee law enforcement and put his car in drive while the ICE officer still had his arm inside the vehicle, dragging the officer approximately 50 yards. This criminal illegal alien has been arrested and is in federal custody.
The ICE officer was hospitalized and is expected to make a full recovery.
“Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala is a child sex offender and illegal alien from Mexico who attempted to evade law enforcement and dragged an ICE officer 50 yards down the street with his car. Thankfully, the officer is expected to make a full recovery,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “This illegal alien has been committing violent crimes in the U.S. for nearly 15 years. He is a convicted child sex offender who has a rap sheet that includes an arrest for domestic assault and multiple driving offenses. Under Governor Tim Walz, this sicko was living in Minnesota without consequence. Instead of comparing ICE law enforcement to the Gestapo, Governor Walz should be thanking our brave law enforcement for arresting these violent criminals.”
“His lengthy criminal rap sheet in the U.S. dates back to 2010. According to DHS, he has been arrested for domestic assault and convicted of sex crimes against an underage teenager,” Fox News national correspondent Brooke Taylor said.
“Additionally, he’s been convicted for driving without a valid license, and multiple charges for driving illegally. ICE first lodged a detainer on him in 2013,” she added.

From The Post Millennial:
After fleeing from federal authorities, Munoz called 911 to falsely report that he had been assaulted by ICE agents. Local police arrived on the scene, arrested Munoz, and booked him into jail. Federal prosecutors immediately filed charges.
“This was a brazen and cowardly act by a criminal illegal alien who has complete disregard for the laws of our country and clearly places himself above the lives of others,” said Peter Berg, ICE ERO Field Office Director for St. Paul. “The deportation officer involved in this incident – someone who has dedicated his life to upholding the law and protecting this nation – was severely wounded by a fleeing suspect who should have never been in the United States in the first place.”
In December 2022, Munoz was charged with repeatedly sexually abusing his 16-year-old stepdaughter in Hennepin County, Minnesota, according to court documents. He was convicted of felony fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.
ICE ERO issued a detainer on Munoz after his arrest, but local authorities did not honor the detainer, and Munoz was released from custody without authorities notifying ICE, per the FBI affidavit.
