A chilling incident of violence has shaken the city of Portland, as Alvaro Carrillo, 32, a Guatemalan national unlawfully residing in the United States, has been charged with assaulting federal officers.
According to court documents, on November 11, 2025, federal border patrol agents assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers initiated a traffic stop on a silver Saturn sedan. Law enforcement officers approached the vehicle, identified themselves to Carrillo, and attempted to remove him from the vehicle when he did not comply with their commands.
Carrillo put the car in drive and fled the scene, intentionally striking the border patrol agents’ vehicle during the pursuit. After more than ten minutes, Carrillo lost control of his vehicle and collided with a concrete curb.
Carrillo exited the vehicle and assumed a fighting position, attempting to escape and running approximately thirty yards before an officer was able to take Carrillo into custody. Carrillo resisted the officers during the arrest.
Carrillo made his first appearance in federal court today before a U.S. Magistrate Judge. He was ordered detained pending further court proceedings. Homeland Security Investigations is investigating the case, with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon prosecuting the case.
