Guatemalan Illegal Immigrant Charged with Firing at Tennessee Trooper

Klarks, who was living in the US illegally, presented a Guatemalan consular ID card during the stop and fled when authorities attempted to issue a citation.

A High-Speed Chase and Shootout

Klarks was struck during the exchange of gunfire, and multiple firearms were recovered from his vehicle.

The proposal aims to crack down on illegal immigration and crimes committed by undocumented individuals.
