ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – The Department of Homeland Security shared a brief update Wednesday morning after an operation in St. Johns County turned deadly on Tuesday.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a 28-year-old man who ran from ICE agents around 6:45 a.m. Tuesday crossed into the path of a tractor-trailer on State Road 16 and was killed.
A DHS spokesperson released this statement about the incident on Wednesday morning:
On July 14, DHS law enforcement conducted an operation near St. Johns, Florida. Florida Highway Patrol and HSI are investigating an incident resulting in the death of a Mexican national. We will provide an update when available.
FHP said Tuesday that agents with the Homeland Security Investigations division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement were conducting an operation in the parking lot of a gas station on SR 16 when four people inside a vehicle ran off.
One of the men tried to run across SR 16 at Green Acres Road but crossed in front of a semi and suffered fatal injuries, according to FHP.

Media trying to make ICE the bad guys as usual. F em!
It’s clear that we need to stop enforcing ALL laws so that criminals don’t get hurt trying to avoid the consequences of their actions.
What are the odds that the semi driver was another illegal?
Now whose fault would that make it? [Answer: Trump]
And people who choose to run out in front of tractor-trailer rigs rather than comply with law enforcement have made a poor choice in their behavior. I hope the truck driver wasn’t too badly shaken.
I guess the moral of this story is that “Green Acres ISN’T the place to be”?
Play stupid games. Thses stupid people need to stay where they were born and out of our house uninvited. The only rights they have are moral ones. Their legal status is ZERO.
They are drawn by free chit. It is irresistible when it is promoted by so many NGO’s.
Waiting for Trump’s big announcement he baited for today. Wish it was something magnificent, earth shattering and game changing for those of us who pay the bills.
Flatter than day old beer.
I don’t, not for the illegal. I do give a damn that ICE is being restrained, given reason for pause in their attempts to round these criminals up and their general irritation and all of the impediments being placed in their way to do their job to get rid of these illegal aliens.
We have been invaded by an army of MILLIONS that have turned what little was left of order upside down. We will be lucky to recover. Frankly, I doubt that we will. In fact, I expect we will certainly regress and become much worse than ever when the dims return to power.
I guess his momma never warned him to look both ways before running into the path of a freaking semi! Whata dead dork.
So being pushed in front of a train is good but running in the way of a truck is bad?
I guess he figured after crossing into the US illegally, he could also illegally a state highway!
Oh it was a truck not an erection.
Blame the antifas and anti-ice protesters. They’ve been saying that standing in front of a moving vehicle poses no deadly threat.
Sadly, I agree.
The illegal Alien ran in furtherance of continuing to commit the crime. It’s not like they were pursuing him to imprison him for a sentence. He was free to go at any time, and had turned down an offer of $3000 and a free plane ticket.
There should be no penalty for killing illegal aliens. They should not be here in the first place.
I’m tired of the illegal aliens’ “Media” toads crying their asses off every time an illegal alien gets killed. Nobody cries when an American is killed by illegal alien scumbags.
God bless ICE. Thank you for caring about the American people.
Have AN ICE day and keep up the good work. America is counting on you all.
I’m hoping the video shows up on YouTube.
