ICE kills a Colombian and a Mexican in operations where neither was the target
Agents of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement shot dead two Latin American migrants within a week, in operations where federal authorities and lawmakers acknowledged neither was the intended target. The deaths revived protests and calls for accountability over the Trump administration's immigration policy.
Two Latin American migrants were shot dead by ICE agents within a single week, in incidents that federal authorities and lawmakers acknowledged did not involve the intended targets of the operations. Officials have not disclosed full details of how the shootings unfolded.
The deaths have revived protests in immigrant communities and renewed calls from lawmakers for greater accountability over enforcement tactics under the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. Advocacy groups say the incidents point to a pattern of lethal use of force during routine operations.
The cases add to mounting scrutiny of ICE's conduct this year, as similar episodes involving migrants killed during enforcement actions have drawn condemnation from civil-rights organizations and some members of Congress.
