NEW YORK — A man fleeing federal agents in Florida was struck and killed by a tractor trailer, marking at least the 10th death involving encounters with immigration officers since the start of President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

The man, a 28-year-old Mexican national whose name wasn’t immediately released, was sitting in a vehicle with three other people outside a gas station near St. Augustine on Tuesday when they were approached by Immigration and Customs Enforcements officers, officials said. The man then darted across the busy thoroughfare and into the path of a semitrailer, according to a highway patrol spokesperson.

The deadly encounter came a day after an ICE officer fatally shot a motorist in Maine and a week after one shot and killed a driver in Houston, officials said.

On Wednesday, Trump said ICE agents should continue making traffic stops, pushing back on reports that most stops would be suspended.

Demands for answers about Maine

As news of the Florida death spread, immigration authorities were already facing questions about the fatal shooting Monday of Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine.

Durán Guerrero, a 25-year-old Colombia native, was fatally shot in his car by an ICE officer after officials said he left an address that immigration authorities had been surveilling. In a social media post, the Department of Homeland Security said he had “attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.”

The brief description differed from one provided hours earlier by Maine Sen. Angus King, who said Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s told him that the driver had “weaponized” his vehicle against the ICE officers.

Houston shooting

DHS officials said in a statement that Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national, ignored commands while trying to evade arrest during an enforcement operation on July 7. The department said he attempted to ram his car into an agent, who opened fire in self-defense.

Araujo’s family said he was on his way to work.
