ICE Vehicle Hits, Hospitalizes Man in Houston, Officials Say
A vehicle driven by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents struck and injured a man near Houston on Saturday. The Harris County Sheriff's Office said agents were conducting an enforcement action.
- 7:20 a.m. is when the crash occurred, the sheriff's office said.
- 8:30 a.m. is the operation time ICE officials gave Breitbart Texas.
- ICE identified the injured man as Miguel Parra-Hernandez, a Mexican national.
- ICE says he was stable with non-life-threatening injuries.
Why it matters: The sheriff's office has not released the man's identity or details about the circumstances of the crash. The fuller account so far comes from ICE.
- ICE says the man fled on foot and ran in front of its vehicle.
- Commissioner Lesley Briones demanded ICE release all video evidence of the incident.
