Vancouver Police investigate person possibly hit by vehicle during ICE arrest

December 5, 2025

On December 5, 2025, the Vancouver Police Department was made aware of an incident that occurred in Vancouver on December 4 involving agents from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The Vancouver Police Department learned of this incident via a video that appeared to be taken with a cell phone of the ICE arrest that was subsequently circulated by community members. The video appears to show that the arrested person's foot may have been struck by an ICE agent's vehicle during the arrest.

Based on the information regarding a vehicle that is alleged to have struck a person within the city limits of Vancouver, per our policy, the Vancouver Police Department will be conducting a traffic investigation to determine the facts.

Inquiries related to ICE enforcement should be directed to Northwest Region U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement Director of Communications, Alethea Smock at [email protected].
