Fatal collision occurs on California freeway as man attempts to escape immigration enforcement operation at Monrovia Home Depot, prompting community protest with Mexican flags.
A man died in California after being struck by a vehicle on the 210 Freeway while trying to flee an immigration enforcement operation at a Home Depot, officials said.
The fatal incident unfolded Thursday morning in Monrovia, a city outside of Los Angeles, after police received reports of immigration agents approaching the Home Depot, Monrovia City Manager Dylan Feik told the Los Angeles Times.
A day laborer who frequents the location in search of work said to the newspaper that people there started yelling « Immigration, run! »
One man then fled the store on foot, jumped over a concrete wall and entered the eastbound lanes of the 210 Freeway, according to the Los Angeles Times.
