Mexican Tourist Who Died Fleeing ICE Agents Was Visiting Florida on Vacation

The Miami Herald reports a 28-year-old Mexican national killed during an encounter with ICE last week was in the United States on a tourist visa and had arrived in Florida just two days before his death. Juan Jairo Coronilla Durán had traveled from Guanajuato, Mexico, to Atlanta in June to visit family and friends, before visiting Florida for a beach holiday. He was killed by a semi-truck while fleeing immigration officials, after they approached him at a gas station near St. Augustine. Coronilla Durán is among four ICE-related deaths that occurred in less than one week. www.democracynow.org
