After A man was struck and killed by a SUV Thursday while running a federal immigration application operation in a home depot in MonroviaCalifornia, immigrant communities once again condemn the federal government’s tactics while crying the accident victim.
THE Died man on highway 210 was identified as Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez de JUTIAPA, in Guatemala, according to the organizational network of the national day, which said that the Guatemalan consulate had confirmed the identity.
The mobile phone video of the fatal accident seems to show a passer -by on motorway 210, showing the body of a man who was hit by a car a few meters from the place where the federal officers arrested workers from day below.
The man went from the scene, crossed the Evergreen avenue and entered the highway in the east direction, said the director of the city of Monrovia, Dylan Feik. The CHP officers said they had received a report just before 10 a.m. that someone had been hit by a SUV on the highway near Myrtle Avenue.
What exactly led the man running on the highway is not clear.
“Was it intentional? I don’t think this is the case, but it ended up with a father, a brother killed,” said Pablo Alvarado, co-executive director of the National Day Workers Organizing Network.
The Ministry of Internal Security told NBC Los Angeles in a statement that Montoya Valdez was not prosecuted by federal officials. But Alvarado blamed the tactics of federal officials who, he said, created fear.

“Whether they pursue it or not, the fact is that when you have operations of this kind, the first reaction of any human being is to run.”
Many others in the same Home Depot car park also worked, depending on people who have witnessed or experienced the raid.
“My boss told me to run because immigration was there,” said Mattias, a worker who escaped Raid, in Spanish. “Some people have run whatever their immigration status, because today they do not know if undocumented or documented people will be held.”
Mattias said he was injured by jumping a fence.
The DHS said that eight days of days had been arrested during Thursday’s raid, including nationals from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. The department described the raid by the American border patrol a “targeted immigration application operation”, but did not mention the death of Valdez.
