On July 10, 2026, ICE agents fired upon a Mexican man in Houston. He succumbed at the scene. ICE said the driver crashed into officers, but witnesses say the vehicle never struck them. The shooting took place near a downtown intersection. ICE agents were reacting to a report of a vehicle heading toward officers. The man was a rider in the car. No other occupants were injured. The family has not been informed.
Lawyers for the victim and migrant groups say the agency’s account is inaccurate and that the man was not the primary target. Federal officials have not issued a full report. The case is being scrutinized by the Department of Justice.
