Overview
- City police reported a two-vehicle crash on South Haven Street involving a Department of Homeland Security driver, and both motorists were taken to a hospital for evaluation.
- Attorneys for Ever Alvarenga Rios say he remains hospitalized with significant head, chest, back, and hand injuries at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
- His legal team alleges an ICE agent intentionally rammed the back of Rios’s van and says hospital staff repeatedly denied the lawyers private access to their client.
- Rios’s wife says he told her a vehicle stopped in front of him and another struck him from behind, and that he did not realize the vehicles belonged to ICE at the time.
- The Department of Homeland Security later told Fox News the driver fled and braked hard, causing a pileup that also sent two ICE agents to the hospital, a version that clashes with the lawyers’ account and earlier reports of no DHS comment.
