BOSTON, MA – According to a press release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a criminal illegal alien who attacked ICE officers while being taken into custody in Massachusetts was sentenced to federal prison earlier in January for the assaults.
On the morning of May 4th, 2025, ICE officers were engaged in a targeted enforcement operation in Marlborough where they were surveilling a parking lot prior to encountering 24-year-old Guido Andres Alexander Cuellar-Batres. According to officials, ICE officers approached the vehicle where Cuellar-Batres was a passenger, ordering him to exit the vehicle, which he refused.
Upon the refused order to exit the vehicle, ICE officers ordered both Cuellar-Batres and the driver to unlock the vehicle, but both individuals reportedly refused. Following a series of furtive movements of Cuellar-Batres’ hands, ICE officers forcibly extricated the suspect from the vehicle, leading to a physical struggle between officers and the suspect.
During the physical struggle with Cuellar-Batres, authorities say the suspect bit one of the officers near his wrist while delivering multiple strikes to that same officer’s head. After the suspect was placed into cuffs, authorities say Cuellar-Batres continued to physically resist, at one point headbutting and spitting into an officer’s face while being placed in the cruiser.
This past October, Cuellar-Batres pleaded guilty to charges of forcibly assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating, or interfering with federal officers. On January 12th, Cuellar-Batres was sentenced to 8 months in federal prison along with a year of supervised release. Furthermore, Cuellar-Batres is still subject to deportation following the completion of his imposed sentence.
ICE Boston acting Field Office Director Dave Wesling issued a statement in light of the sentencing of Cuellar-Batres, emphasizing that ICE officers will be there to take him into custody following his release from prison.
“ICE is prepared to arrest Cuellar when he’s released from prison. He overstayed a nonimmigrant visa by more than four years, and he’s been sentenced to a crime that falls under the Laken Riley Act,” Director Wesling stated, adding, “When we initially arrested him, he attacked our officers and a DEA agent - and under this administration, there is zero tolerance for those who violently assault the brave men and women of ICE Boston who are on the ground fighting to keep our communities safe.”
