Man fleeing Home Depot ICE raid killed by car on L.A. Freeway: 'Just so inhumane'

A man was hit and killed on the 210 Freeway on Thursday as he tried to flee federal agents raiding a Home Depot in Monrovia.

His death at a hospital was confirmed Thursday afternoon by Monrovia City Manager Dylan Feik. The circumstances surrounding the fatal accident are under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.

Monrovia police received reports at 9:43 a.m. of immigration agents approaching the Home Depot, according to Feik, who said an officer observed possible Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at the site.

In a emailed statement to The Times, the Department of Homeland Security said that “the individual was not being pursued by any DHS law enforcement” and that the agency was not aware of the freeway incident until hours after operations in the area had concluded.

So the cops don’t know where they are (in the cops’ jurisdiction) and even the cops don’t know WHO they are. How could they know? No badges. No insignia.
