On the morning of March 15, 2025, HSI Harlingen BEST Maritime Group was assisting the South Padre Island Police Department (SPIPD) with traffic control at the site of a major vehicle accident involving multiple injuries. According to ICE’s internal report, HSI agents were helping redirect traffic when a blue four-door Ford approached the controlled area.
“As the vehicle got closer to the special agents the driver failed to follow instructions and attempted to continue onto [redacted],” the report read. “Multiple officers gave verbal commands to the occupants to stop, the driver of the vehicle slowed to a stop, and at this point agents surrounded the vehicle and verbally commanded the driver to exit the vehicle.
“The driver accelerated forward, striking a HSI special agent who wound up on the hood of the vehicle. Upon observing this, HSI group supervisory special agent utilized his government-issued service weapon, discharging multiple rounds at the driver through the open driver’s side window.”
The report went on to say that the special agent involved was taken to a nearby hospital, treated for a knee injury and released.
