ICE Pursuit in Houston that Broke a Man’s Leg Targeted a Suspect Who Died Years Ago, Family Says
FIEL Houston says Parra-Hernandez has had surgery and may need more procedures, while advocates question ICE’s account of the stop.
- On Saturday, 48-year-old Miguel Parra was struck by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle on Highway 6 near Clay Road in Harris County, sustaining a broken right leg in three places and a fractured ankle requiring surgery.
- Investigators reported that ICE agents were pursuing a driver with an active warrant when the individual fled on foot, leading to the collision near a building where Parra was struck.
- Attorney Kim Bruno said she visited Parra at the hospital Monday but ICE agents interrupted their conversation after 10 or 15 minutes and had security escort them out, forcing her to challenge his continued custody.
- Witnesses dispute the official account, according to FIEL Houston Director Cesar Espinosa, who alleges the ICE vehicle was unmarked and Parra was not the intended target of the operation.
- At 11 a.m. on Wednesday, the organization will hold a news conference at its office to share more information regarding additional witnesses to the incident.
