PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A 28-year-old man was fatally struck by a tractor-trailer while fleeing from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents at a gas station in St. Augustine, Florida, early Tuesday.📰 DETAIL: The incident occurred near a Wawa gas station, where the man had been in a vehicle with three others who also fled. The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the death, and the man’s identity has not been released as of the time of publication. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has released a brief statement suggesting that the deceased man was Mexican.💬 KEY QUOTE: “On July 14, DHS law enforcement conducted an operation near St Johns, Florida. Florida highway patrol and HSI are investigating an incident resulting in the death of a Mexican national,” a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security said.🎯 IMPACT: The incident has intensified leftist agitation against ICE in recent days, following separate incidents in which a Mexican and a Colombian were shot dead, after allegedly trying to weaponize vehicles against agents. The campaign may be working, with the Trump administration having already ordered a halt to most ICE traffic stops following the shootings. Similarly, the deadly shooting of two pro-illegal immigrant activists in Minnesota in January saw the administration wind down a major immigration enforcement surge in the state.👀 FLASHBACK: ICE agents have been involved in two fatal shootings in Maine and Texas in recent days. ICE critics have complained that the migrants shot were not the intended targets of the operations.
