On July 10, 2026, ICE agents shot a Mexican man in Houston. He died at the scene. ICE said the driver hurtled officers, but witnesses say the vehicle failed to contact them. The shooting occurred near a downtown intersection. ICE agents were reacting to a report of a vehicle moving toward officers. The man was a passenger 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 misleading and that the man was not the intended target. Federal officials have not released a full report. The case is being reviewed by the Department of Justice.
