Florida ICE Agent Charged With Strangling Man
An argument escalated outside an Orlando apartment building, leading to the ICE agent's arrest, police said.
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, Alexander Rivera Rios, was arrested on Wednesday in Florida and charged with battery by strangulation, according to information obtained by Newsweek and an arrest affidavit. The incident allegedly occurred outside an Orlando apartment complex on August 26. Rivera Rios, 50, was taken into custody by the Orlando Police Department and held at Orange County jail on no-bond status.
It is unclear whether the ICE agent was on duty during the arrest. The case was filed in Orange County Circuit Court.
