联邦官员在追捕一名据称多年前已死的男子时，将车辆撞向一名休斯顿建筑工人，导致其腿部骨折，死者家属周五表示，这一说法进一步质疑了美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）的说法。
Federal officer slammed vehicle into a construction worker while pursuing a man who died in similar circumstances A federal officer slammed a vehicle into a Houston construction worker and broke his leg believing him to be a man who apparently died years ago, the dead man’s family said on Friday, further calling into question the account given by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
据休斯顿本土移民倡导组织FIEL称，48岁的墨西哥籍米格尔·帕拉·埃尔南德斯目前仍住院治疗，腿部多处骨折，需要进行踝部重建手术。该组织周五在新闻发布会上表示，所谓嫌疑人的家属已提供文件，证明其已死亡。
The worker, 48-year-old Miguel Parra Hernandez of Mexico, remains hospitalized with multiple leg fractures and needs reconstructive ankle surgery, according to FIEL, a Houston-based immigration advocacy group. At a news conference on Friday, the group said the alleged suspect’s family had shared documentation proving his death.
该组织在一份声明中称，10月10日的事件发生后，官员称他们观察到一名他们正在追捕的嫌疑人——被识别为何塞·门多萨-塞万特斯——进入了一辆车，而帕拉·埃尔南德斯也在该车内。
After the episode on 10 October, said in a statement that officers had observed a suspect they were targeting, identified as Jose Mendoza-Cervantes, enter a vehicle with Parra Hernandez.
但周五，哈里斯县地方检察官办公室发言人拉斐尔·莱迈特告诉美联社，门多萨-塞万特斯并不在那辆车内。ICE未对置评请求作出回应。
But on Friday, Rafael Lemaitre, spokesperson with the Harris county district attorney’s office, told the Associated Press that Mendoza-Cervantes was not in that vehicle. ICE did not respond to requests for comment on Friday.
“ICE在撒谎，”FIEL执行主任塞萨尔·埃斯皮诺萨说。“要么有人没有说真话，要么这两名ICE特工突然发展出了第六感，能够看到死人。”ICE发布了一张照片，称照片中的男子是门多萨-塞万特斯。但FIEL称，照片中的男子实际上是何塞·赫克托·希门内斯，他多年前在试图重新进入美国时，被联邦移民当局追捕期间死亡。
“ICE is lying,” said Cesar Espinosa, FIEL’s executive director. “Either somebody is not telling the truth or all of a sudden these two ICE agents have developed a sixth sense and are able to see dead people.”ICE released a photo of a man it identified as Mendoza-Cervantes. But the man in the photo is actually Jose Hector Jimenez, who died years ago while being pursued by federal immigration authorities as he was trying to re-enter the US, according to FIEL.
该男子的女儿向美联社提供了其由墨西哥政府出具的死亡证明，该文件已移交给地方检察官办公室，埃斯皮诺萨如是说道。美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）未对置评请求作出回应。
The man’s daughter provided his death certificate from the Mexican government, which has been turned over to the district attorney, Espinosa told the AP. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) did not respond to a request for comment.
吉梅内斯的女儿杰米·吉梅内斯没有回应美联社的置评请求。她的丈夫安德烈斯·伦东向美联社证实，吉梅内斯是他妻子已故的父亲。
Jimenez’s daughter, Jamie Jimenez, did not respond to requests for comment from the AP. Her husband, Andres Rendon, confirmed to the AP that Jimenez was his wife’s deceased father.
哈里斯县地方检察官肖恩·蒂尔正在考虑对驾驶该车辆的ICE官员提出刑事指控。他表示，监控录像与ICE声称帕拉·埃尔南德斯走到车辆前方的说法相矛盾。
Criminal charges against the ICE officer who drove the vehicle are being considered by Harris county district attorney Sean Teare, who has said surveillance footage contradicts ICE’s claim that Parra Hernandez stepped in front of the vehicle.
视频显示，一辆黑色SUV在中央隔离带上高速行驶，朝一个正在逃跑的男子驶去。视频未显示汽车撞到他——该视角被另一辆车挡住——但显示SUV与逃跑的男子仅相隔几英寸。随后视频显示该男子倒在地上。
The video shows a black SUV speeding over a median and driving toward a man who is running away. The video does not show the car hitting him – that view is blocked by another vehicle – but it shows the SUV inches from the fleeing man. The video then shows him on the ground.
代表休斯顿的民主党众议员西尔维娅·加西亚表示，ICE似乎在对发生的事情撒谎。
US House member Sylvia Garcia, a Democrat who represents Houston, said that ICE appears to be lying about what happened.
“如果ICE在追捕一名多年前就已去世的人，这引发了对这些行动如何进行的严肃质疑，以及特工在将人们的生命置于风险之前是否甚至在核实他们要寻找的是谁，”加西亚在向美联社发表的声明中说道。“这令人愤怒——但坦率地说，并不令人惊讶。”在唐纳德·特朗普第二个总统任期内，ICE因其激进的逮捕、拘留和驱逐策略而受到全国范围的批评。
“If ICE was pursuing a man who died years ago, it raises serious questions about how these operations are being carried out and whether agents are even verifying who they’re looking for before putting people’s lives at risk,” Garcia said in a statement to the AP. “It’s outrageous – but frankly, not surprising.”ICE has been met with nationwide criticism throughout Donald Trump’s second presidency for its aggressive arrest, detention and deportation tactics.
据《卫报》在9月下旬报道，仅在2026年——特朗普重返白宫的第二年——就有超过30人在与移民官员的互动中死亡。
Just in 2026, the second year since Trump returned to the White House, more than 30 people have died during interactions with immigration officials, the Guardian reported in late September.
帕拉·埃尔南德斯的律师金·布鲁诺告诉记者，她的当事人在联邦拘留期间一直患有抑郁症，尤其是在他得知自己并不是此次行动的目标之后。“这一切本来就不该发生，”布鲁诺说。
Parra Hernandez’s attorney, Kim Bruno, told reporters that her client was suffering from depression in federal custody, especially after learning that he was not the target of the operation. “This never should have happened in the first place,” Bruno said.
米格尔的兄弟罗伯托·帕拉表示，两人曾一起整天在建筑工地工作，他只希望兄弟得到人道对待。他说帕拉·埃尔南德斯有一家人需要养活，他唯一的“罪行”只是出于必要来到这个国家。
Miguel’s brother, Roberto Parra, said the two would work construction all day together and he just wants his brother treated with humanity. He said Parra Hernandez has a family to support, and his only crime was coming to a country out of necessity.
FIEL 正在寻求在帕拉·埃尔南德斯从医院转移到联邦拘留中心之前释放他。
FIEL is seeking Parra Hernandez’s release before he is moved from a hospital to a federal detention center.
路易斯·恩里克·德尔芬的妹妹尼迪亚·德尔芬呼吁释放她的哥哥，以便他能够作为证人出庭。她的哥哥路易斯·恩里克·德尔芬曾被拘留在撞到帕拉·埃尔南德斯的 ICE 车辆中。
Nidia Delfín, the sister of Luis Enrique Delfín, who was detained in the ICE vehicle that hit Parra Hernandez, called for her brother’s release from federal custody so he could serve as a witness.
“他仍然非常担忧，仍然非常害怕，”她说。“在他被帕拉·埃尔南德斯撞倒之前的 10 月 10 日，他还不是那个样子的。”《卫报》员工对此有所贡献。
“He’s still very concerned, still very afraid,” she said. “He’s not the same guy that was out” before Parra Hernandez was struck on 10 October. Guardian staff contributed
