A federal immigration officer fired his weapon at a Honduran national’s vehicle twice in self-defense on Wednesday after the driver began to pull away in the officer’s direction, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The incident unfolded early Wednesday on a freeway in Phoenix, where ICE officers stopped a black SUV around 4 a.m. local time. The driver, identified as Jose Garcia-Sorto, initially stopped but began speeding away in his vehicle prior to the gunshots.
