A 28-year-old man died Tuesday morning following an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations agents in St. Augustine, marking the third death involving ICE in a week.

The immigration status and nationality of the victim are unclear, as is the reason immigration agents were involved. The tractor-trailer driver stopped and tried to help the victim, Bryan said. A photo published by the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office shows a truck for the company Eggland’s Best blocking the highway.

An illegal alien from Colombia was fatally shot in Maine this week after trying to run over ICE agents.
