'I’m going to slice your eye out': Man allegedly threatens ICE agents during Catonsville arrest

CATONSVILLE, Md. — Two men face federal charges for allegedly assaulting ICE agents and resisting arrest.

Although both incidents occurred in June, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland officially announced criminal charges on August 15.

The first arrest took place in Catonsville on June 6.

ICE was there conducting surveillance on Adolfo Nimrod Hernandez-Ramos, a 42-year-old Honduran native residing illegally in the U.S.

Federal agents reportedly spotted Hernandez-Ramos leaving his home.

They followed him to a nearby shopping center.

As agents approached, Hernandez-Ramos ran into a store.

"Hernandez-Ramos kicked at them, flailed his arms, grabbed a table, and clinched his arms and legs together to prevent arrest," prosecutors allege. "Officers eventually secured one handcuff, but then Hernandez-Ramos grabbed the open handcuff and told an officer, “I’m going to slice your eye out.”

Despite suffering multiple injuries during the struggle, agents were finally able to restrain Hernandez-Ramos.

Court records show two District Courts, in Silver Spring and Hyattsville, issued separate protective orders against Hernandez-Ramos for alleged domestic violence in August 2021 and February 2024.

Two days after arresting Hernandez-Ramos, ICE agents in Wicomico County, encountered two men, including 30-year-old Tony Marcos Ferreira-Dos Santos, of Brazil.

According to the feds, Dos Santos was in the company of a man who had a final order of removal from the country.

After arresting him, officers tried taking Dos Santos into custody for unlawful entry into the U.S.

That's when a physical altercation ensued.

Dos Santos was eventually handcuffed and transported to an ICE detention facility.

Federal authorities arrested a third man, who is a reported MS-13 gang member, in Hanover.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol say Luis Antonio Garcia Garcia was wanted for homicide in his home country of El Salvador.

Border Patrol Chief Michael W. Banks posted on X that Garcia Garcia also has a prior drug conviction in the U.S.
