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 occurred near a downtown intersection. ICE agents were reacting to a report of a vehicle approaching officers. The man was a occupant in the car. No other occupants were hurt. 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 released a full report. The case is being scrutinized by the Department of Justice.
