A 21-year-old illegal immigrant brandished a beaming smile as he posed for an arrest photo in Polk County, Florida on Tuesday after allegedly battering a federal officer.

The Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer suffered an injured shoulder after the suspect, Denis Corea Miranda, fought back when two agents tried to take him into custody in Lakeland, officials said.

“This is the first time we’ve had an agent injured in the line of duty, and he was significantly injured,” said Sheriff Grady Judd at a press conference Tuesday.

“Now the state of Florida and the taxpayers of Polk are going to have to pay for it,” he said.

Corea Miranda now faces charges including resisting arrest and battery on a federal officer and could be deported.

Judd noted the suspect had previously been tied to burglary offenses in Polk County and could serve time in state prison.

“And then when he gets out of state prison for his transgressions, then he’ll be deported,” Judd added.

Fox News Digital reached out to Polk County Sheriff’s Office for further comment.
