 A man fleeing immigration authorities outside a home depot store in Southern California was struck and hit by an SUV when he ran across a nearby freeway. Police in the city of Monrovia received a call on Thursday about the presence of US immigration and custom enforcement agents. A responding officer saw ICE agents approaching the store and conducting enforcement activity there, City Manager Dylan Feik said in a statement.

One man fled on foot and headed toward the nearby freeway, where he was struck by a vehicle, Feik said. He was taken to a hospital, where he died, the statement said. Feik expressed his condolences for the man and his family. On Friday, a team of unmarked SUVS with tinted windows carrying Border Patrol agents sped up to a food stand outside a Home Depot location in Los Angeles. They hit the brakes and filed out with masked faces, some with camouflage uniforms and carrying M-4 rifles.

A spokesperson of the U.S department of homeland security wrote in an email that the agency was not notified of the incident until hours after operations in the area had concluded. “This individual was not being pursued by any DHS law enforcement,” said the spokesperson, who was not named.
