An ICE agent has been placed on administrative leave following an incident in Houston where a vehicle driven by the agent struck and injured a man, Miguel Parra Hernández. The Harris County District Attorney's office is conducting a criminal investigation that may involve a grand jury, while ICE is conducting an internal review. Investigators have interviewed a key witness, José Presa Cañada, who was in the ICE vehicle at the time of the collision. While the District Attorney alleges the vehicle intentionally struck Parra based on video evidence, ICE has characterized the incident as accidental, stating Parra ran into the vehicle's path.
