Illegal immigrant accused of running over US citizen nabbed by ICE after Biden-era release

Bailey allegedly was the aggressor in the incident, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says, which took place late January after a near collision. The agency said Bailey allegedly pulled a knife and attempted to stab the other individual, before jumping back into his car to chase down and ultimately run over the victim. 

The department does not know the status of the victim and the Ridley Township Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's inquiry.

Bailey then allegedly fled the scene following the incident, the DHS said. 

Bailey was arrested by local authorities and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, recklessly endangering another person, possessing an instrument of crime, simple assault, disorderly conduct and reckless driving. 

The charges were later increased to attempted murder. The charges are currently pending with the Delaware County Court in Ridley Township, Pennsylvania. 

ICE arrested Bailey Monday at the Delaware County Court as he was set to post bail.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Ridley Township Police Department to inquire whether it had cooperated with ICE in Bailey's arrest, but did not immediately receive a response.

Bailey overstayed his tourist visa in 2009, according to the agency. 

In 2020, Bailey was arrested in New York for criminal possession of a loaded firearm and criminal possession of a weapon with a previous conviction. Two years later, in 2022, Bailey was convicted in Kings County, New York, Criminal Court for criminal possession of a firearm.  

Bis called it "outrageous" that "this repeat criminal was released by an immigration judge in 2023 and allowed to victimize more innocent Americans, including this individual he intentionally ran over and threatened with a knife."

She noted that "thanks to our law enforcement, this public safety threat is off our streets."

Fox News Digital reached out to spokespeople for Biden for comment. 

A lawyer for Bailey wasn't immediately clear.
