Man hospitalized after ICE-driven vehicle [attempts to kill] him during chase [Harris County, TX]

Deputies said an ICE agent tried to box one of the fleeing men into the backside of a building and struck him. Deputies said they believe the man has a broken leg but is stable with non-life-threatening injuries.

Surveillance video obtained by ABC13 shows the moment an unmarked SUV carrying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents ran over a man during a pursuit at a shopping center in west Harris County.

The video shows a white pickup truck stopping along Clay Road, facing oncoming traffic. Two men get out of the truck. One runs toward Highway 6, while the other, identified by ICE as Miguel Parra-Hernandez, runs through a shopping center parking lot.

Moments later, a dark, unmarked SUV turns into the parking lot and runs over Parra-Hernandez.

A witness who spoke with ABC13 on the condition of anonymity said he saw the incident unfold.

"He said, 'Ah! Ah! Ah! You broke my leg! You broke my leg!'" the witness recalled.

The video shows Parra-Hernandez remaining on the ground for several minutes after he was struck.

The footage also appears to show an ICE agent getting into the pickup truck Parra-Hernandez fled and moving it into the shopping center before leaving in another unmarked vehicle.

"I believe ICE agents moved it before we got there," HCSO Major Anthony McConnell said.

ABC13 reached out to an ICE spokesperson, who said agents were attempting to arrest the passenger, Jose Mendoza-Cervantes.

...

ICE said agents attempted to make the arrest and claimed Parra-Hernandez ran in front of their vehicle and was struck.

However, the surveillance video appears to show the SUV veering left through empty parking spaces before running over Parra-Hernandez.

A witness said the incident was deeply unsettling, adding that it could have happened to him.


After seeing the video, this can not be called striking someone with a vehicle, this is attempted murder. These fascists ran him over and didn't stop till they passed him with the rear wheels. And as such I've felt the need to editorialize the headline in this "neutral" article.

Just another day in America. Gosh, it’s like with the constant threat of taking a stray bullet from ice might finally make Americans do a damn thing.
