On July 10, 2026, ICE agents shot a Mexican man in Houston. He was pronounced dead at the scene. ICE said the driver hurtled officers, but witnesses say the vehicle failed to contact them. The shooting took place near a downtown intersection. ICE agents were responding to a report of a vehicle approaching officers. The man was a occupant in the car. No other occupants were affected. The family has not been contacted.
Lawyers for the victim and migrant groups say the agency’s account is inaccurate and that the man was not the desired target. Federal officials have not issued a full report. The case is being examined by the Department of Justice.
