A Man Struck by an ICE Vehicle Broke Both His Legs. Here’s What We Know
Miguel Parra-Hernandez suffered a broken leg and was taken into ICE custody after the vehicle strike, officials said.
- On Saturday, Oct. 10, an ICE agent struck Miguel Parra-Hernandez with a vehicle during an enforcement operation in Houston, leaving him hospitalized with a broken leg.
- Agents were pursuing Jose Mendoza-Cervantes, whom ICE described as a public safety threat with four prior arrests for driving under the influence, when they observed the men exit a vehicle on Clay Road near Highway 6 and attempted a traffic stop.
- Surveillance video reviewed by ABC News appears to show the agent maneuvering his vehicle toward Parra-Hernandez, contradicting ICE's claim that he ran in front of the car.
- Harris County Commissioner Lesley Briones and Rep. Sylvia Garcia demanded that ICE release all video evidence and cooperate with local investigators, while advocates called for Parra-Hernandez's immediate release from federal custody.
- This incident follows a similar encounter two days earlier in New York City where ICE agents shot a man during an attempted arrest, intensifying scrutiny of the agency's vehicle pursuit and use-of-force practices.
