Florida Democratic Party Demands Accountability in St. Augustine Death Involving ICE

TALLAHASSEE, FL – On Tuesday, a 28-year-old man was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer after fleeing an encounter with ICE agents at a gas station in St. Augustine. The death, which remains under investigation, is the third incident involving ICE to result in a death in just one week.

In response to this news, Nikki Fried, Chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, issued the following statement:

“This is the latest consequence of a campaign of fear that is terrorizing communities and putting lives at risk. Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and Florida Republicans have empowered ICE to operate without transparency, accountability, or respect for human life.

ICE must be held accountable, and this cruelty must end. The Florida Democratic Party mourns this tragic loss and demands a full, independent investigation.”
