Federal immigration officers were about half a mile away.

A man crashed a car at high speed.

He died in Michigan last weekend.

He was in the U.S. illegally.

Authorities said this on Thursday.

Homeland Security said this.

They wanted to reject a claim.

They said officers were not chasing him.

The crash happened Sunday morning in Grand Rapids.

It killed Mario Coronado Juarez.

He was born in Guatemala.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer wants state police to investigate the death.

Friends and activists are angry.

Homeland Security said Juarez was not the target.

He drove a car.

The car belonged to another person.

That person was also in the U.S. illegally.

That person was wanted back in Guatemala.

The agency said officers tried to stop the car.

They wanted to check the driver's identity.

The driver drove away very fast.

Officers stopped the action right away.

They did this for public safety.

The agency said this.

A short time later, officers saw smoke.

It was nearly half a mile away.

They found the car.

It had hit a tree and caught fire.

Homeland Security said this.

The agency said officers tried to help Juarez.

They tried to put out the fire.

Then Grand Rapids first responders arrived.

Juarez was in his 30s.

He died at the scene.

Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand supports a state police investigation.

He said Juarez's death happened during a national effort.

That effort creates fear among immigrant neighbors.

Immigrant rights activist Gema Lowe spoke.

She said Juarez supported a wife and three children.

He worked in construction.

He was saving money to build a home in Guatemala.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Hillary Scholten asked ICE to keep any video.

Officers recorded the video.
