Immigrant’s Death in ICE Chase | Jacksonville News

A Mexican immigrant, Juan Jairo Coronilla Durán, 28, died after fleeing ICE officers in Florida on July 14, struck by a truck during a high-speed chase from a Wawa gas station. This marks the third immigration-related death in just one week — following fatal encounters in Texas and Maine. From San Luis de la Paz, Mexico, Coronilla Durán was reportedly visiting family in Atlanta and planning to return home to his wife and two children on July 18. Advocacy groups warn that aggressive enforcement fuels fear and panic in immigrant communities, often forcing people to flee. Despite outcry and recent deaths, ICE officials stand by vehicle stops as essential enforcement. The investigation into the fatal crash is ongoing.
