A 22-year-old Mexican man, Gerardo Tejada-Calleja, was arrested by the United States Border Patrol on March 2, 2025, and charged with Assault on a Federal Officer and Illegal Entry Into the United States.
According to the Department of Justice, allegedly on March 2, 2025, a United States Border Patrol agent responded to a report of suspected illegal aliens in the area of Vamori, Arizona. When an agent approached the area, Tejada-Calleja was found hiding under a tree, attempting to evade apprehension. Tejada-Calleja ran down a wash upon seeing the agent. After a brief pursuit, Tejada-Calleja and another individual were found hiding under a tree and some brush.
During attempts to apprehend the two individuals, the agent reached for his radio to let other agents know he needed assistance. Tejada-Calleja grabbed the agent’s gun belt area and his radio in an attempt to rip it out of the agent’s hands. During the assault, Tejada-Calleja wrapped his arms around the agent, taking him down to the ground backwards and onto his back.
Tejada-Calleja and the other individual were able to evade apprehension again until they were subsequently captured and taken into custody.
It would seem to me that any filing for Asylum made by Gerardo Tejada-Calleja would be denied if he is convicted of the charges he is facing. So, he could then go back to Mexico after serving whatever sentence he gets in court.
But that’s just my common-sense view. I’m no immigration or legal expert.
Where is all the outrage from all the Democrats?
Rumor has it that Dems are asking Border Patrol if the two Illegal need help filing for Asylum, and/or need Free Transportation and Housing, as Kumala still has money in her Bail Fund.
