On July 10, 2026, ICE agents fired upon a Mexican man in Houston. He succumbed at the scene. ICE said the driver crashed into officers, but witnesses say the vehicle did not hit them. The shooting occurred near a downtown intersection. ICE agents were responding to a report of a vehicle heading toward officers. The man was a passenger in the car. No other occupants were affected.
