An individual identified as Jerson Lopez-Sanchez, a 28-year-old citizen of Honduras, has been indicted in the Eastern District of Texas on charges related to injuring federal immigration agents. The announcement was made by U.S. Attorney Jay R. Combs.
According to the indictment, on December 1, 2025, federal immigration agents attempted a lawful traffic stop on a vehicle owned by Lopez-Sanchez in Lewisville, Texas. The agents were clearly marked as law enforcement and wore vests with police insignia and badges. After initially stopping his vehicle, Lopez-Sanchez allegedly reversed into one of the agent’s vehicles while an agent had one leg outside, resulting in injury to that agent.
The incident escalated when Lopez-Sanchez reportedly maneuvered around other law enforcement vehicles and tried to flee. Agents pursued him with emergency lights activated. During the pursuit, Lopez-Sanchez is accused of accelerating and ramming another law enforcement vehicle, injuring two additional agents inside. The chase continued for about ten minutes before the suspect's vehicle stopped on a median; all five occupants then fled on foot. Three were detained after foot pursuits aided by civilians. Authorities identified Lopez-Sanchez as both owner and driver of the vehicle; he remains at large.
“If anyone has knowledge that leads to the arrest of JERSON LOPEZ-SANCHEZ, please contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). You may be eligible for a cash reward,” according to information released by officials.
The case is being investigated by the FBI’s Frisco Resident Agency and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Calli Bailey. It is part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established under Executive Order 14159: Protecting the American People Against Invasion. This task force coordinates efforts across government agencies to address criminal cartels, foreign gangs, transnational organizations, and human smuggling operations within and beyond U.S borders.
The HSTF also focuses on crimes involving children and utilizes various tools for prosecuting violent criminal aliens.
If convicted on all counts, Lopez-Sanchez could face up to 20 years in federal prison per count. Officials emphasized that “a federal indictment is not evidence of guilt. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
