Story summary

On October 10, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Houston hit Miguel Parra-Hernandez with a vehicle while pursuing Jose Mendoza-Cervantes, injuring Parra-Hernandez severely. Surveillance footage showed the ICE agent chasing Parra-Hernandez before hitting him intentionally or recklessly, causing multiple leg fractures and necessitating surgery. However, it was later revealed that the man ICE was targeting, Mendoza-Cervantes, had been dead since 2017, according to his family and an immigrant rights group called FIEL Houston. This revelation raised serious questions about the accuracy of ICE's operations and the risks posed to innocent individuals during such pursuits.
