August 15, 2025
A man fleeing immigration authorities outside a Home Depot store in Southern California was struck and killed by an SUV when he ran across a nearby freeway. Monrovia City Manager Dylan Feik says police responded to a call Thursday about Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity, and an officer saw ICE agents conducting enforcement at a Home Depot location. A man fled on foot and headed toward a nearby freeway, where he was struck by a vehicle and later died. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson says the man was not being pursued by immigration agents. A day later, federal immigration authorities made other arrests in Southern California as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
