On July 10, 2026, ICE agents fired upon a Mexican man in Houston. He was pronounced dead at the scene. ICE said the driver crashed into officers, but witnesses say the vehicle did not hit them. The shooting took place near a downtown intersection. ICE agents were responding to a report of a vehicle heading toward officers. The man was a passenger 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 misleading and that the man was not the primary target. Federal officials have not released a full report. The case is being examined by the Department of Justice.
