Etats-Unis : Un immigré tué par la police à Chicago en tenant d’échapper à une arrestation

An illegal immigrant was killed while fleeing a US immigration checkpoint.

Four days after the start of a major anti-immigration crackdown launched by Donald Trump, an illegal immigrant died this Friday, killed by federal immigration enforcement (ICE) agents who were trying to check his identity.

On Friday morning in the northern US metropolis, "ICE agents stopped a vehicle to arrest Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez," the department said in a statement, without specifying his nationality.

Operation Midway Blitz

"He refused to follow the officers' instructions and drove his car toward them. One of the ICE officers was struck by the car and dragged a significant distance. Fearing for his life, he used his weapon," the department added.

"The police officer sustained multiple injuries and is in stable condition. The illegal immigrant was pronounced dead," the statement said. Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez reportedly has "a history of dangerous driving. He entered the country on an unknown date," the department said, justifying his designation as a "criminal."

The Trump administration announced Monday that it has launched an ICE operation dubbed "Midway Blitz," targeting "criminal illegal immigrants who terrorize Americans" in Democratic-ruled Illinois.

Donald Trump last week adopted ultra-violent rhetoric against Chicago, which he called a "rat hole" or the "murder capital of the world," and threatened to deploy National Guard troops there, as he did in Washington, the federal capital, in August.

    Pas normal de tirer sur un fugitif désarmé.
    Not convenient to shut on a runner

    Vivement le rapatriement des éléments du pastef pour qu'ils reviennent participer au projet. Celui qui connaît un élément de pastef sans papier, il n'a qu'à le dénoncer.

    comment un homme qui se fait trainer par un véhicule peut il sortir une arme ,tirer et atteindre le conducteur ?
    Soit il n est pas trainé
    Soit c est un autre policier qui a tiré
    Soit,tout ça n est que mensonge et manipulation pour tenter de légitimer un assassinant.
