A man from Katy, Texas, has been sentenced to 18 months in federal prison after being convicted of assaulting a U.S. Border Patrol agent. According to court documents, 26‑year‑old Kevin Dominguez drove his sedan to a Border Patrol checkpoint on U.S. Highway 57 on August 1, 2023.
During his approach, a trained USBP canine alerted agents to movement in his trunk, where an individual was discovered. Instead of stopping, Dominguez reversed and struck an agent with his vehicle before fleeing the scene.
On October 23, 2025, during the Trump administration, the FBI and the Department of Justice announced major charges in several cases. While the FBI frequently makes arrests, several recent cases have gained significant attention.
