  "account": "On Saturday in Houston, Texas, federal immigration agents in an unmarked SUV intentionally ran over 48-year-old construction worker Miguel Parra, breaking his right leg in three places, according to his lawyer. Surveillance footage shows the dark SUV catching up to Parra, who was fleeing his vehicle on foot, and striking him. Parra's lawyer, Kim Bruno, vehemently contests the agents' claim that the incident was accidental, stating that it was done intentionally and constitutes abuse. ICE officials stated they were seeking to detain Parra's passenger, who had a criminal record. The victim's injuries include fractures to his hip, knee, and ankle, with multiple surgeries still required to reconstruct his leg. Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare announced that the incident will be investigated as a potential crime of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The incident follows a series of violent enforcement actions against immigrants in the United States, including the shooting of Dominican national Oscar Belgal and Venezuelan national Wilber Garces by ICE agents.",
