美国国土安全部表示,一名无证移民在试图逃离移民官员时,在高速公路上被一辆汽车撞倒后丧生。
DHS的一位发言人说,周四,作为“有针对性的、基于情报的移民执法行动”的一部分,何塞·卡斯特罗-里维拉和其他乘车者被ICE官员拦下DHS没有提供有关此次行动的更多细节。
虽然DHS没有说事件发生在哪里,但弗吉尼亚州警方报告说,事件发生在上午11点左右,位于诺福克的264号州际公路上,并说Castro-Rivera被一辆2002年福特皮卡撞倒,当场被宣布死亡。报道称他24岁。
DHS说,卡斯特罗-里维拉“顽强抵抗”,逃到高速公路上,在那里遭到致命袭击。该机构没有提供卡斯特罗-里维拉涉嫌拒捕的细节。
“我们的一名ICE官员给卡斯特罗-里维拉注射了心肺复苏术,试图让他活着。不幸的是,卡斯特罗·里维拉去世了。该官员随后通知三名被拘留的外国人,他们的朋友已经死亡。然后他悲痛欲绝,并和他们一起祈祷,”这位发言人说。
目前还不清楚车辆的其他乘客或皮卡车司机发生了什么事。
弗吉尼亚州警方表示,初步调查表明,卡斯特罗-里维拉在逃离冰面追捕时,下车试图穿越州际公路。该公司表示,自己并未参与追尾,只是在调查由此引发的事故。
DHS将卡斯特罗-里维拉的死部分归咎于那些传播“错误信息”和避免拘留的方法的人,称这些人鼓励人们抵制其代理人。
“可悲的是,这是这种抵抗的悲惨结果,”这位发言人说。
DHS says migrant fatally struck by vehicle while fleeing ICE agents
The Department of Homeland Security said an undocumented immigrant was killed after being struck by a vehicle on a highway while attempting to flee immigration officials.
A DHS spokesperson said Jose Castro-Rivera and other occupants traveling in a vehicle were stopped by ICE officers on Thursday as part of a "targeted, intelligence-based immigration enforcement operation."DHS did not provide further details about the operation.
While DHS did not say where the incident took place, the Virginia State Police reported it happened on Interstate 264 in Norfolk around 11 a.m. and said Castro-Rivera was struck by a 2002 Ford pickup truck and was pronounced dead at the scene. Its report said he was 24 years old.
DHS said Castro-Rivera "resisted heavily" and fled onto the highway where he was fatally struck. The agency did not offer specifics about Castro-Rivera allegedly resisting arrest.
"One of our ICE officers administered CPR to Castro-Rivera in an attempt to keep him alive.Unfortunately, Castro-Rivera perished. The officer then informed the three detained aliens that their friend had deceased. He then grieved and prayed with them," the spokesperson said.
It’s unclear what happened to the other occupants of the vehicle or the driver of pickup truck.
The Virginia State Police said its preliminary investigation indicated the Castro-Rivera was fleeing from an ICE pursuit when he exited a vehicle and tried to cross the interstate.It said it was not involved in the pursuit and was investigating only the resulting accident.
DHS blamed Castro-Rivera's death in part on those who spread "misinformation" and ways to avoid detention that it says has emboldened people to resist its agents.
"Sadly, this is the tragic result of such resistance," the spokesperson said.
