Texas authorities are currently investigating an incident involving an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who allegedly struck a man with a vehicle in Houston. The incident took place on Saturday morning as federal agents were attempting to conduct a traffic stop on Miguel Parra Hernandez, a 48-year-old undocumented immigrant who was driving to his place of employment.

According to prosecutors, the evidence suggests the officer may have intentionally hit the man with his vehicle during the encounter. The case is currently under review to determine if criminal charges are warranted against the federal agent involved. While the investigation is ongoing, the incident has drawn attention to the tactics used by federal authorities during enforcement operations in the Houston area.

There is currently no public statement from the ICE officer or the agency regarding the specific allegations of intentional contact. The investigation remains in its preliminary stages, with local prosecutors holding the authority to decide whether to pursue formal charges based on the evidence collected at the scene and witness accounts.
