Summary
A 28-year-old Mexican citizen was killed Tuesday morning in St. Augustine after running across a busy road during an encounter with ICE and HSI agents and being hit by a tractor-trailer.
Just before 6:45 a.m., agents stopped a vehicle in a gas station parking lot; all four occupants fled on foot, and Florida Highway Patrol said the man was struck in the right lane and died at the scene.
The 64-year-old truck driver stopped immediately and tried to render aid, while FHP opened a traffic-fatality investigation and Fox News Digital said ICE had not yet commented.
The death was the third in about a week tied to people fleeing or confronting ICE agents, after fatal shootings in Texas and Maine.
Hours later, the Trump administration told ICE to temporarily halt most vehicle stops nationwide, a sharp policy shift after the string of deadly incidents.
