A grand jury in Texas on Friday indicted an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who struck and injured a Mexican construction worker with a vehicle in Houston this month, reported The New York Times.
The agent, Mario Alberto Morales, 33, is facing state
charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, said Sean Teare, the
district attorney in Harris County, which includes Houston. He added that Mr.
Morales has not turned himself in. It was unclear whether the defendant had
legal representation.
The worker, Miguel Parra Hernandez, 48, an
undocumented immigrant, was driving to his job on the morning of Oct. 10 when
federal immigration authorities tried to pull him over in unmarked vehicles,
according to Houston immigration advocates.
When Mr. Parra Hernandez stopped the car, he and a
passenger tried to flee. ICE has said that Mr. Parra Hernandez had run in front
of one of the agency’s vehicles and was struck. But surveillance video from a
nearby business appeared to show Mr. Parra Hernandez and another man running
away as an ICE vehicle veered around the corner and appeared to hit Mr. Parra
Hernandez from behind.
