Trump Immigration ICE

Authorities say a man running from an encounter with immigration and other federal agents in Florida was struck and killed by a tractor trailer. The 28-year-old was among four occupants of a vehicle that stopped in the parking lot of a gas station and convenience store in St. Augustine before 7 a.m. on Tuesday. Police say during the encounter with agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Homeland Security Investigations, the four fled on foot. Police say one darted across a busy road into the path of the semi. It marks the third death in a week involving encounters with ICE agents.

An off-duty employee at an immigration detention center in Colorado has been arrested for allegedly firing a gun as a protest was wrapping up outside. Aurora police say one woman suffered a gunshot wound Thursday night and is recovering. The man was booked on suspicion of attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault and other charges. He is employed by private-prison operator Geo Group, which is contracted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to run the 1,500-bed detention center. Police say the shooting followed a confrontation in which two women started an argument and took pictures of employee vehicles as the workers were waiting to start their evening shifts. Geo Group says the employee was placed on unpaid administrative leave.

Dozens of Democratic U.S. senators and Maine's Independent senator are demanding more details from Immigration and Customs Enforcement about vetting practices for new agents. They also want to know how officers conduct vehicle pursuits and are pushing for body cameras to be swiftly rolled out. The demands came in a letter led by Maine's Independent Sen. Angus King and signed by 38 Democratic senators. This follows two deadly shootings involving ICE officers in Houston and Maine. The senators emphasize the need for clarity and accountability, urging ICE to wear uniforms clearly identifying them as “ICE” instead of just “POLICE.”
