Man who got shot at by ICE agent in custody
Francisco Longoria, the man who was shot at by federal agents during a standoff with ICE agents, has been detained, according to his family.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - A man who was shot at by federal agents during a standoff with U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in Southern California earlier in the month has been detained, his family tells FOX 11.
What we know:
Back on August 16, Francisco Longoria and multiple passengers were inside a work truck in San Bernardino when a group of masked men tried to get them to get out of the vehicle.
At one point during the standoff between Longoria, the truck passengers, and the masked men who were later revealed to be CBP agents, one of the federal agents began smashing the work truck. The sudden attack prompted the driver of the truck to drive off from the scene.
As the work truck took off from the scene, one of the CBP agents opened fire at Longoria and the passengers, prompting an ICE-involved shooting investigation.

ICE agent shoots at car in San Bernardino
A standoff involving ICE ends in a shooting in San Bernardino, California. The video showed a driver and at least two passengers refusing to get out of a car and a border patrol agent smashing the car window, prompting the driver to take off from the scene. DHS accuses the driver of hitting two border patrol agents with the car.
Videos showing parts of the incident went viral on social media. An organization called Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice shared a post showing a driver and at least two passengers refusing to get out of a car and a CBP agent smashing the car's window, prompting the driver to take off from the scene.
Fast-forward to more than a week later, Longoria's family revealed that Francisco has since been taken into custody. According to his attorney, Homeland Security Investigations arrested Longoria at his home around 4:18 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 28.
Longoria was arrested on a single charge of alleged Assault of a Federal Officer with a Deadly/Dangerous Weapon. He was arraigned later in the afternoon.
His attorney said no arrest warrant was issued at the time of the August 16 incident and the government claimed ICE and CBP agents decided to perform an "immigration check" on Longoria.
The criminal complaint alleged that the agents involved in the stop had been injured by Longoria's truck. The court asked AUSA Cory Burleson to identify any injuries allegedly sustained by the agents. Burleson then acknowledged "I’m not aware of any injuries", according to a statement issued by Longoria's attorney.
