On Saturday, a vehicle driven by an ICE agent hit and injured Miguel Parra-Hernandez in the Houston area around 7:20 a.m. The incident occurred as the ICE officer was pursuing Jose Mendoza-Cervantes, who had been ordered to leave the country. Surveillance footage showed that after Mendoza-Cervantes and Parra-Hernandez exited their vehicle, the ICE agent chased Parra-Hernandez before hitting him with his car. Parra-Hernandez suffered a broken leg, shattered ankle, and hip injuries, necessitating additional surgeries.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office reported that no further details were initially provided on the man’s condition beyond hospitalization. However, advocates like Cesar Espinosa from FIEL stated that Parra-Hernandez cannot put weight on his injured leg for six weeks due to swelling requiring reduction before surgery can proceed.ICE maintained they were attempting a car stop when Mendoza-Cervantes fled; Parra-Hernandez said he ran because the vehicles did not clearly identify as law enforcement and used dark-tinted windows, lacking sirens or marked signage.
