LOS ANGELES — A man died on Thursday after he was struck by vehicle on a freeway in Monrovia, California, as he was trying to flee an immigration raid at a Home Depot, officials said.

Federal immigration agents were seen conducting an operation near a Home Depot on Thursday morning in Monrovia, a city about 20 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, according to Dylan Feik, the city manager.

As the operation was unfolding, a man ran off, crossing a street and then entering the eastbound lanes of Interstate 210. The man, who was not identified, was taken to a hospital, where he died, Feik said in a statement.

Details about the immigration operation were unclear.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that the person was “not being pursued by any DHS law enforcement.”
