'It just breaks my heart.' Death of man fleeing immigration raid at Home Depot sparks anger, grief

The death of a man fleeing an immigration raid at a Home Depot sparked anger among immigrant rights advocates: 'We hold the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security and the Home Depot responsible,' one group said.

A man was hit and killed on the 210 Freeway on Thursday as he tried to flee federal agents raiding a Home Depot in Monrovia, CA.

    Frimpong ordered federal agents not to use those factors to establish reasonable suspicion to detain people. And that all those in custody at a downtown detention facility known as B-18 must be given 24-hour access to lawyers and a confidential phone line.

    Source.

    The man who died was not actually detained, so it doesn’t seem to me that his rights were violated even if detaining him would have violated his rights. He wasn’t even being chased, as far as I can tell from the article - he ran on his own when he heard that ICE agents were coming. Are you proposing that (in the absence of qualified immunity) cops should be sued for something that they didn’t do, but which this man suspected that they might do?

      Please read the article again. Two paragraphs above your quote. Your rights can be violated even if not detained. Stop and frisk was famous for this.

      Lick the ICE boots more bv your quote is purposely misleading and has nothing to do with any of this.
