WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) today announced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) arrest of Christopher Leon Bailey, a 27-year-old criminal illegal alien from Jamaica, in Ridley Township, Pennsylvania.
On January 23, 2026, Bailey was the aggressor in a road rage incident, where he chased down an individual he almost hit with a car in Ridley Township. The incident escalated into an armed confrontation where Bailey pulled a knife and attempted to stab the individual. Bailey then got back into his car, chased and ran over the victim, and afterwards, fled the scene.
The illegal alien was arrested 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. Following reviewing footage of the assault, the charges were increased to attempted murder.
ICE arrested him at the Delaware County Court in Ridley Township, Pennsylvania on March 16, 2026.
“This serial criminal illegal alien’s crime spree in our country is OVER. It’s 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,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Thanks to our law enforcement, this public safety threat is off our streets. Under President Trump, DHS has unleashed ICE to target dangerous criminal illegal aliens, like Christopher Leon Bailey, and restore LAW and ORDER to our communities.”
Bailey (pictured at top, lapping up the tasty karma) overstayed his tourist visa in 2009. On March 10, 2023, ICE Philadelphia arrested Bailey for violating our nation’s immigration laws. This criminal illegal alien also has a conviction for a firearms offense. On March 23, 2023, an Immigration Judge under the Biden administration declared that Bailey is not a public danger and ordered him released on bond.
Bailey’s criminal history includes arrests and convictions in New York City, including robbery, larceny, disorderly conduct, and possession of stolen property. In August of 2020, Bailey was arrested by the NYPD for criminal possession of a loaded firearm and criminal possession of a weapon with a previous conviction. On March 1, 2022, Bailey was convicted in the Kings County Criminal Court for criminal possession of a firearm.
Bailey will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings, Homeland Security says.
