A Texas district attorney is investigating whether an ICE agent deliberately ran over a man during an immigration operation in Houston. Prosecutors have also raised concerns that potentially crucial evidence may have been lost after the officer allegedly drove the vehicle away from the scene. The investigation is examining both the circumstances of the collision and the handling of evidence afterward.
Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare announced the investigation after 48-year-old Miguel Parra-Hernandez was struck by an ICE vehicle on Oct. 10. The incident has drawn scrutiny over the agency’s handling of the investigation and the circumstances surrounding the collision.
