Mexican Man Killed After ICE Encounter in Florida Was on Vacation, Officials Say
Family says the 28-year-old was on vacation with a tourist visa and planned to return to Mexico within days.
- On July 14, Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran, a 28-year-old Mexican tourist, died after fleeing an Immigration and Customs Enforcement stop near State Road 16 in St. Augustine, Florida, when struck by a semi-truck.
- Coronilla Duran arrived in the United States three weeks ago on a valid tourist visa, vacationing with his wife, Jessica Alamilla, and was scheduled to return to Mexico this past Saturday.
- According to witness Jose Rivera, unmarked SUVs stopped the vehicle before Coronilla Duran fled on foot, slipping and falling into the path of an oncoming semi-truck on the highway median.
- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum launched an investigation into the death, stating her government intends to pursue criminal charges regarding this incident and at least 18 other Mexican nationals killed during arrests.
- Defending ICE operations Monday, Tom Homan, President Trump's 'border czar,' blamed casualties on 'hateful rhetoric' against the agency; this death marks the latest of 11 fatal shootings by federal immigration agents since the administration returned to office.
