What happened

HRW lists this as a field death, not a conventional detention-facility death. He was hit by a vehicle amid an enforcement attempt; do not characterize this as a death inside an ICE cell.

Investigation & findings

ICE death reporting establishes the death. Medical, investigative, and legal conclusions are source-dependent; no misconduct finding is presumed.
