A 26-year-old man from Katy, Texas, has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison for assaulting a federal officer by striking a U.S. Border Patrol agent with his vehicle. On August 1, 2023, Kevin Dominguez approached the U.S. Border Patrol immigration checkpoint on U.S. Highway 57 near Del Rio, Texas. A canine unit alerted agents to the vehicle’s trunk, indicating the presence of an individual. In an attempt to flee, Dominguez reversed his vehicle, striking an agent, and led authorities on a high-speed chase. The pursuit ended when Texas State Troopers deployed a spike strip, leading to his arrest. Dominguez pleaded guilty to assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers.
