Immigrant ICE searched for in Texas when agent hit man with car has been dead for years: Report
ICE faces scrutiny after officials say the man in its wanted photo died in 2017, while Harris County investigators review Parra-Hernandez’s injury.
- On October 10, ICE agents in Texas struck pedestrian Miguel Parra Hernandez with an SUV while attempting to arrest Jose Mendoza-Cervantes, who has been dead since 2017.
- ICE issued a "wanted" poster for Mendoza-Cervantes after the collision, but the man's daughter identified the photo as her father, Hector Jimenez Mendoza, who died in 2017.
- Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare, a Democrat, said it is "pretty obvious" from videos that ICE intentionally struck and ran over Parra, while ICE stated allegations are "RECKLESS and FALSE."
- A senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC News on Thursday that the officer driving the vehicle has been placed on administrative leave, as Teare considers a grand jury referral next week.
- Cesar Espinosa, leader of FIEL Houston, called on ICE "to tell the truth" and release body camera footage, describing the deceased man's image use as "beyond mind-blowing.
