Overview
- A man running from a federal immigration operation at a Monrovia Home Depot entered the eastbound 210 Freeway, was struck by a vehicle and later died at a hospital.
- The California Highway Patrol has opened a traffic investigation into the collision that occurred minutes after agents began enforcement activities at the store.
- The Department of Homeland Security says its agents did not chase the individual and that it was not notified of the crash until hours after the raid ended.
- Local and advocacy sources report that roughly 10 to 13 people were detained during the Monrovia operation, though ICE and city officials have not disclosed exact figures.
- Advocates and community members have organized a vigil and protests to denounce the lack of federal notification and the human consequences of ambush-style enforcement tactics.
