ICE pursuit in Newark caused crash injuring driver, three minors, and agent; mayor called it reckless.
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pursuit in Newark, New Jersey, on February 25, 2026, ended in a multi-vehicle crash at Clinton Avenue and 10th Street, injuring the van driver and three minors—a 15-year-old and a 12-year-old in a ride-share vehicle—along with an ICE agent.
The chase began when ICE agents attempted to stop a van, prompting a flight that led to collisions with two other vehicles.
Newark Mayor Ras Baraka condemned the pursuit as reckless, noting it violated New Jersey law, which restricts chases to cases involving an imminent threat, especially in densely populated areas and after a recent snowstorm.
City officials confirmed Newark police were not involved in the operation but responded to the crash scene.
No public statement was issued by ICE or the Department of Homeland Security.
The incident has intensified scrutiny over ICE’s enforcement tactics in urban settings.
