Surveillance video appears to show an unmarked vehicle running over<\/a> Miguel Parra-Hernandez Saturday morning as he ran on foot near Clay Road and Highway 6. In a statement, ICE alleged Parra-Hernandez “ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck.”<\/p>\n

Parra-Hernandez, who has lived in the Houston area for more than three decades, suffered a broken leg and remains in ICE custody. ICE says agents were pursuing a different man who was riding in a pickup truck with Parra-Hernandez.<\/p>\n

This latest incident comes just a few months after an ICE agent the Texas Tribune recently identified as Gregory Feathers<\/a> shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo<\/a> during a vehicle chase in Magnolia Park. <\/p>\n

Both cases raise questions about, among other things, how \u2014 or if \u2014 federal agents identify themselves and what that means for the rights of anyone they encounter.<\/p>\n

In the audio and video above, we get some insight on the rights of citizens and non-citizens alike in these situations from Rafe Foreman<\/a>, a Texas-based civil rights attorney at Hutchison & Foreman, PLLC and the former director of The Advocacy Program at The University of Missouri\u2013Kansas City School of Law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another incident occurred here in Houston over the weekend highlighting ongoing concerns about ICE agents and their tactics…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465053,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2919,56,58,4978,57,1829,15924,1724,865,66,129319,223,158399,4979],"class_list":["post-465052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-civil-rights","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-matters","tag-houston-news","tag-ice","tag-ice-agents","tag-immigration","tag-law-enforcement","tag-local","tag-lorenzo-salgado-araujo","tag-news","tag-rafe-foreman","tag-shows"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465052"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465052\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
