Overview

• A man who fled an ICE operation at the Home Depot on Mountain Avenue ran onto Interstate 210, was struck by a vehicle and later died at a local hospital, becoming the second fatality linked to recent Southern California raids.
• The California Highway Patrol is probing the collision, noting the pedestrian entered eastbound lanes when he was hit by a pickup truck and seeking to clarify the circumstances.
• The Department of Homeland Security says its agents did not chase the individual and that it learned of the crash only after the operation concluded.
• DHS reports the Monrovia action resulted in roughly a dozen arrests; Home Depot has stated it was not informed of the enforcement activity in its parking lot.
• Community organizations have held vigils and protests at the site, and local officials are investigating ICE’s use of tactics that a federal injunction has sought to restrict.
