This is exactly what ICE said:
"Parra-Hernandez ran in front of an ICE vehicle and was struck."

Watch an ICE agent run down and then run over a man.
The man was was then writhing on the ground, saying "You broke my leg! You broke my leg!"
Agents didn't help him.
And btw, the man wasn't the target of their operation.
