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.
