Excerpt: "A person died during an encounter with federal immigration officials on Tuesday morning in Florida, a state highway patrol spokesperson confirmed, marking the third death in one week linked to immigration enforcement operations.

"Officials with #HomelandSecurityInvestigations (#HSI), which is a component of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE), had an 'encounter' with four men in a vehicle in the parking lot of a convenience store along a busy road in #SaintAugustineFL, the highway patrol spokesperson said. As the four men fled from the agents, one of them ran into the busy road and was struck by a semi truck. The person died at the scene.

" 'The pedestrian was struck by the tractor trailer in the right lane and sustained fatal injuries on scene,' said Master Sgt Dylan Bryan, a Florida highway patrol spokesperson, in a statement. 'The tractor trailer immediately stopped and attempted to render aid to the victim.'

"Tuesday morning’s death marks the third immigration enforcement-related death in one week, as ICE and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) face significant backlash and public outcry following two shootings in Texas and Maine respectively.

"The Florida highway patrol referred all questions to ICE. #DHS and ICE did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

"The statement did not clarify whether the person who died was the target of an arrest operation by the HSI agents.

"#BorderPatrol officials may also have been present at the scene, according to a homeland security source. An image from the scene of the crash shows a border patrol vehicle present at the site."
