Maksim Zaitsev, a 35-year-old Russian national, has been charged with felony assault for allegedly biting an immigration officer who was attempting to detain him in Los Angeles. The incident occurred during a processing escort when Zaitsev reportedly bit the officer's finger, resulting in injury. Charged federally, he could face a maximum sentence of 20 years if convicted. This incident highlights ongoing tensions around immigration enforcement under current U.S. administration policies.
The men and women of Immigration and Customs Enforcement are critical to protecting national security and public safety and upholding the rule law, acting U.S. Atty. Joseph T. McNally said.
