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.
