Maximum Overkill 2,294 Posted August 11 DETROIT – An Ypsilanti, Michigan man was charged in a criminal complaint for impeding, intimidating, or interfering with Border Patrol agents who were engaged in their official duties, announced United States Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr. Gorgon was joined in the announcement by Special Agent in Charge Cheyvoryea Gibson, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Detroit Division and Chief Patrol Agent John R. Morris, U.S. Border Patrol. Charged was Jacob Nathaniel Len, 30. According to the affidavit, on July 7, 2025, four uniformed U.S. Border Patrol agents, in two marked Border Patrol service vehicles were transporting fifteen illegal aliens detained on immigration violations to a correctional facility in Michigan. While the agents were traveling on Interstate 96, Len drove his BMW sedan toward one of the marked Border Patrol vehicles and flipped off the agents with his middle finger. Immediately after clearing the front bumper of the lead Border Patrol transport van, Len abruptly cut in front of the transport van, without signaling, and rapidly slowed down, forcing the driver of the transport van to quickly break to avoid a collision. The driver of the trailing Border Patrol vehicle was forced to quickly brake to avoid smashing into the transport van. Len repeated his sudden braking maneuver twice before exiting the freeway. United States Attorney Gorgon stated: “The alleged actions of this man are shameful. While zipping around in his BMW, this defendant cavalierly endangered the hardworking agents who put their lives on the line every day protecting our country, the illegal aliens they were tasked with safely transporting, and other drivers going about their lives.” "Interfering with a federal agent performing their official duties is a serious criminal offense and will not be tolerated,” said Cheyvoryea Gibson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Detroit Field Office. "The alleged actions by Jacob Len were not only reckless, but endangered lives and compromised public safety. I would like to thank the dedicated members of our FBI Ann Arbor Resident Agency for their thorough work with this investigation.” To report immigration irregularities or violations, please call the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE to report suspicious activity.
