· World · NBC News, Al Jazeera
Miguel Parra Hernandez, 48, remains in need of additional surgery to reconstruct his leg and hip following an incident involving an ICE vehicle in Houston. The injury occurred during a pursuit on Saturday after ICE officers attempted a vehicle stop. According to an advocate for Parra, he cannot put weight on his leg for six weeks and must wait for swelling to subside before further procedures can be performed. ICE stated that Parra was not the target of the stop and ran in front of their vehicle during the encounter. Parra reported that he fled because the vehicles involved were unmarked and lacked sirens.
Why it matters
The incident has sparked concerns regarding the conduct of immigration enforcement operations in urban areas and the safety protocols used during vehicle stops.
