Honduran Immigrant Josué Castro Rivera Dies While Fleeing ICE Agents

HeadlineOct 27, 2025

In Virginia, a 24-year-old Honduran man was fatally struck by a vehicle while fleeing federal immigration agents on Thursday. Josué Castro Rivera is at least the fourth immigrant to be killed during an immigration operation under the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, protests are continuing in Chicago over ongoing ICE raids. On Saturday in northwest Chicago, federal agents deployed tear gas at residents who had gathered to protest ICE activity. The incident occurred as parents and children in the neighborhood were preparing for a Halloween parade.

Meanwhile, White House adviser Stephen Miller appeared on Fox News Friday and suggested Illinois Governor JB Pritzker could be arrested for “seditious conspiracy” for obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

Stephen Miller: “Different kinds of crimes would apply. There is obstruction of justice. There is harboring illegal aliens. There is impeding the enforcement of our immigration laws. Then, as you get up the scale of behavior, you obviously get into seditious conspiracy charges, depending on the conduct and many other offenses.”
