US immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed a man near Chicago on Friday after he allegedly drove his car at a group of agents.
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said ICE was trying to arrest the man, but he resisted and drove towards the group. An agent was then dragged along by his vehicle.
The agent, who the department said feared for his life, drew his gun and opened fire.
The driver, Silverio Villegas-Gonzales, was pronounced dead in hospital shortly after, officials said.
"During a vehicle stop, the suspect resisted and attempted to drive his vehicle into the arrest team, striking an officer and subsequently dragging him as he fled the scene," the statement said.
