On July 10, 2026, ICE agents opened fire on a Mexican man in Houston. He succumbed at the scene. ICE said the driver hurtled officers, but witnesses say the vehicle never struck them. The shooting occurred near a downtown intersection. ICE agents were responding to a report of a vehicle approaching officers. The man was a passenger in the car. No other occupants were affected. The family has not been notified.
Lawyers for the victim and migrant groups say the agency’s account is false and that the man was not the intended target. Federal officials have not released a full report. The case is being reviewed by the Department of Justice.
