It turns out that Donald Trump may have had a point.
After setting a deputy constable’s patrol car on fire Saturday, a 16-year-old illegal immigrant pointed a rifle at authorities and then led the police on a 35-minute car chase, the Pearland Journal reported.
During the pursuit, the teenager swerved his maroon Ford F-150 four-door truck into two motorcycle officers who were escorting a funeral, hitting one. The chase ended when the teenager crashed his car and police were able to take him into custody.
According to Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Paige Newsom, the 16-year-old claimed he was committing war against the government because Immigration and Customs Enforcement are always deporting Mexicans.
He also said he was tired of his people getting shot by police and nothing happening, so he came to shoot the officers.
The teen has been charged with several felonies including aggravated assault on a public servant with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance, evading arrest with a vehicle, and arson.
