An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent driving a vehicle strikes a man during a pursuit in the Houston area, according to authorities. The man, identified by officials as Miguel Parra-Hernandez, is taken to a hospital after suffering injuries that include a broken leg. The incident happens in north-west Harris County, Texas.
Local and federal officials say ICE was attempting to pull over and arrest Jose Mendoza-Cervantes during an enforcement action. In accounts provided to media, the pursuit involves two suspects, and both the victim and suspects exit the vehicle before the strike. The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says the incident appears to occur during an ICE enforcement action, while ABC News reports the agent is allegedly chasing two suspects. Details on charges, the circumstances leading to the crash, and whether the agent’s actions are under investigation are not included in the reports.
Authorities describe the man’s injuries and hospital transport, but the outlets’ coverage focuses mainly on the same sequence: an ICE enforcement effort, a pursuit involving suspects, and the vehicle strike that injures the victim.
