On Thursday, authorities stated that at the time a man who had been in the country illegally crashed his vehicle at high speed in Michigan last weekend and died, federal immigration officers were approximately half a mile (about 800 meters) away, and that they intend to refute any assertion that they had engaged in a pursuit.

The death of Mario Coronado Juarez ignited the fury of friends and activists alike, prompting Governor Gretchen Whitmer to direct the state police to investigate the collision that occurred in Grand Rapids on Sunday morning.

Juรกrez, a native of Guatemala, does not appear to have been specifically targeted by the officers.

Nevertheless, according to what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated in a statement, he was driving a vehicle registered in the name of another person who was residing in the country unlawfully and wished to be repatriated to Guatemala.

The DHS stated, "When officers attempted to pull the vehicle over to verify the driver's identity, the driver fled at high speed," adding, "In order to ensure public safety, ICE officers immediately discontinued enforcement actions."

According to the agency's statement, officers attempted to rescue Juarez and extinguish the fire before Grand Rapids emergency responders arrived at the scene.

ICE officers have persisted in the practice of arresting the individuals they set out to track down even when those individuals turn out to be someone else entirely.

However, as the agency has expanded rapidly, hiring 12,000 officers, these long-standing practices have increasingly come under closer scrutiny.

According to immigrant rights activist Hema Lowe, Juarez was employed in the construction industry in Grand Rapids, where he supported his wife and three children while simultaneously saving money to build a house for family members residing in Guatemala.
