A Mississippi police officer called ICE during a routine stop. Then an ICE agent shot an unarmed man
A police officer’s call to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Mississippi last year left an unarmed man – initially a bystander to a traffic stop – shot and bleeding in the street, body camera footage obtained by the SPLC shows. The officer called ICE because he needed a Spanish interpreter.
On July 20, 2016, in Laurel, Mississippi, an ICE agent shot an unarmed man in the street. The Southern Poverty Law Center obtained video footage captured by a local police officer’s body camera, which reveals the potential hazards of involving ICE in local policing.
