A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer was injured Monday after being struck in the face with a metal coffee cup during an arrest operation in Houston, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The officer sustained a deep laceration requiring 13 stitches and burns to his face. DHS said the suspect, Walter Leonel Perez Rodriguez — a previously deported Salvadoran national with convictions including sexual assault of a minor, child fondling, and multiple DUIs — attacked the officer as agents attempted to take him into custody.
