On July 14, 2026, Juan Jairo Coronilla Duran, a 28-year-old Mexican national visiting the United States, was killed after fleeing from United States — United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers at a gas station near St. Augustine, Florida. He ran across State Road 16 and was struck by a tractor-trailer. This was the third death during immigration enforcement operations in a week, following the fatal shootings of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Texas on July 7 and Killing of Joan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine on July 13. ICE reportedly halted traffic stops after the first two deaths, but President Donald Trump reversed that decision the next day. The United States — Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the traffic fatality, and United States — United States Department of Homeland Security is probing the death. Protests occurred on July 15. Coronilla Duran had a visa and was visiting friends and family, planning to return to Mexico on July 18.
