Mexican man dies after ICE encounter in Florida
A 28-year-old man from Mexico named Juan Jairo Coronilla Durán was visiting the United States on a tourist visa.
He was in Florida for a vacation when federal immigration officials, including ICE, approached him and a group of men at a gas station.
The group ran away, and Juan ran into traffic where he was sadly hit and killed by a big truck.
This happened just three weeks after he arrived in the US.
It's one of four similar incidents reported in less than a week.
