ICE confirms to FOX that the passenger in the vehicle with MENDEZ-CHAVEZ has been arrested and is cooperating with law enforcement.ICE statement to FOX:ICE arrested Francisco Zapata-Pacheco at approximately 2 p.m. July 31. He was the passenger in the vehicle used to attack officers and is cooperating with law enforcement officials. He will remain in ICE custody pending the immigration and criminal proceedings. Jose Mendez-Chavez remains at large; he is an illegal alien from Mexico. This convicted child abuser also has convictions for domestic violence and for illegal reentry on multiple occasions. He knows he’s not supposed to be here, since we’ve removed him six times previously. It is despicable that Colorado Rapid Response network would show up in defense of an alien who has abused children and attempted to injure our officers. Our brave ICE law enforcement officers are facing an 830% increase in assaults against them as they carry out operations due to the misinformation activist groups spread. Mendez was not an ‘innocent victim’ he is an abuser who plays the system and is now wanted for assault on a federal officer.”https://x.com/billmelugin_/status/1951381004654174573?s=12
