Earlier today both DC police and federal agents arrested an illegal alien at the National Mall. A reporter filmed it and said the illegal was shouting his innocence as he was being pinned to the ground, after trying to flee.

Here’s that video:

The reporter, from NBC Washington, wrote “BREAKING: Just saw DC Police + federal agents detain a man on the National Mall. He appeared to try to escape, then was quickly tackled to the ground by several agents + was screaming in Spanish “please, I’m not a criminal, I work here, I want to be with my family””

She said she asked officials why he was being arrested but they didn’t answer.

Now we know why, and it turns out this was a terrible criminal illegal:

Aimee Cho, the reporter above, added a bit more:
