Pedestrian killed after fleeing ICE encounter in Florida, marking third immigration-linked death in a week

Four men encountered by Homeland Security Investigations fled a Florida parking lot; one ran into a busy road and was struck by a tractor-trailer, dying at the scene. The death is the third immigration-enforcement-related fatality in a week amid public backlash over shootings in Texas and Maine. It remains unclear whether the deceased was the operation’s target or whether others were in custody, and ICE/DHS did not respond to requests for comment.
