ICE Agent Strangling Accusation: New Federal Charge, Old Pattern of Abuse
Suspended ICE agent Samuel Saxon, previously charged with assault, now faces a federal charge of lying to a federal law enforcement officer. This charge stems from an interview conducted after Saxon was arrested on state charges of felonious assault, strangulation, and domestic violence for allegedly putting a woman in a chokehold. During the interview, Saxon allegedly repeatedly lied about interacting with the victim on the day of the incident, claiming their communication was solely over the phone. The federal charge, based on witness accounts and video evidence, could result in up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
