ICE-involved Houston traffic stop leaves man dead, prompts calls for independent probe

TL;DR Summary
An ICE officer fatally shot a Mexican national during a Houston traffic stop intended to arrest him on immigration grounds; DHS says the driver rammed an ICE vehicle and refused verbal commands, and the officer fired in self-defense. The man died at a hospital. The FBI sent an evidence-response team but said it is not investigating the shooting, instead probing an assault on a federal officer. LULAC is calling for an independent local investigation, citing concerns about a pattern of ICE use of force, while Houston police say they are not involved.
