A 24-year-old Honduran immigrant was fatally struck by a passing vehicle while fleeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on a highway in Virginia, authorities confirmed on Friday.
The Department of Homeland Security identified the man as Josue Castro-Rivera. He died on Thursday morning near Norfolk after running from agents who had approached a vehicle believed to contain individuals residing in the US without legal permission. ICE stated that its officers were conducting a 'targeted enforcement action' when Castro-Rivera fled on foot across traffic lanes and was hit by an oncoming car.
