Federal grand jury indicts man for assaulting ICE officer in Pittsburgh

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that a federal grand jury in Pittsburgh indicted Darwin Alexander Davila-Perez, who is accused of assaulting an ICE officer during a December 17, 2025, targeted enforcement stop after allegedly attempting to buy a firearm illegally and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship. DHS says Davila-Perez resisted arrest, rammed a law enforcement vehicle, and assaulted officers — several of whom were treated for abrasions, bruises and a bite mark. He has been charged with assaulting a federal officer and faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine; DHS also stated he entered the U.S. at Paso Del Norte in December 2022 and was released into the country.
