• Carlos Roberto Montoya Valdez killed after fleeing ICE sweep near Home Depot — In August 2025, after an immigration enforcement sweep near a Home Depot in Monrovia, California, Carlos Roberto Montoya Valdez, a 52-year-old Guatemalan day laborer, fled in fear and was struck and killed on the 210 Freeway. The Department of Homeland Security later denied that its agents were actively pursuing him at that moment, but local witnesses and organizers say the enforcement operation triggered the panic that sent him running. The incident prompted the National Day Laborer Organizing Network to organize the ice-scraper buy-and-return protest at the same Home Depot location.
