POLICY WIRE — City, Country — A Mexican national visiting the United States on a tourist visa was tragically killed in Florida after an encounter with U.S. Immigration — and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The incident occurred when the man, while attempting to evade federal agents, was struck by a tractor-trailer.

According to officials, the man was on vacation when the fatal incident took place. He was running from ICE — and other federal agents when he was hit by the vehicle. The exact circumstances leading to the man’s flight — and subsequent death are under investigation.

Authorities haven’t released the identity of the deceased, pending notification of next of kin. The driver of the tractor-trailer is cooperating with the investigation, — and no charges have been filed as of yet.

This incident has drawn attention to the methods and consequences of immigration enforcement actions within the United States. ICE has faced scrutiny in the past for its tactics — and the outcomes of its operations.
