On July 10, 2026, ICE agents opened fire on a Mexican man in Houston. He succumbed at the scene. ICE said the driver crashed into officers, but witnesses say the vehicle failed to contact them. The shooting took place near a downtown intersection. ICE agents were answering to a report of a vehicle heading toward officers. The man was a occupant in the car. No other occupants were injured. 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 published a full report. The case is being scrutinized by the Department of Justice.
