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 did not hit them. The shooting took place near a downtown intersection. ICE agents were reacting to a report of a vehicle moving toward officers. The man was a occupant in the car. No other occupants were injured. The family has not been notified.
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 published a full report. The case is being reviewed by the Department of Justice.
