An illegal immigrant tried to mow down a group of federal immigration agents while fleeing a “targeted enforcement operation” in a tony Maryland suburb Wednesday morning, injuring himself and a passenger who was also in the country illegally.

Tiago Alexandre Sousa-Martins, a Portuguese national who the Department of Homeland Security described as an illegal alien, was identified and approached by ICE agents in Glen Burnie who instructed him to shut off his engine.

He refused, then in a bid to escape “weaponized his vehicle and began ramming his van into several ICE vehicles,” DHS said in a statement.

“He then drove his van directly at ICE officers, attempting to run them over.”

The agents responded by firing their weapons, striking Sousa-Martins, who then crashed the vehicle between two buildings, injuring himself and his passenger, Solomon Antonio Serrano-Esquivel, who illegally entered the US from El Salvador, according to DHS.

“Officers rendered immediate medical aid to both the driver of the vehicle and the passenger, who were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Both are in stable condition and expected to recover.”

The ICE officers were not injured in the incident, which remains under investigation.

Democratic Anne Arundel County Councilwoman Allison Pickard said the community where the shooting took place was “diverse” with a “high immigrant, Hispanic population.”

ICE has seen a staggering 1,150% increase in assaults since Trump took office, which DHS warned will keep increasing with “continued efforts to encourage illegal aliens and violent agitators to actively resist” enforcement efforts.

“The extremist rhetoric must stop,” the department urged.
