We have tragic news to report out of Savannah, Georgia today.
Linda Davis, a beloved teacher at the city’s Hesse K-8 School was killed Monday morning when a man fleeing federal agents crashed into her car.
Davis, who was on her way to work at the time of the accident, was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to a statement from ICE, the chase began when agents attempted to pull over 38-year-old Oscar Vasquez-Lopez, a Guatemalan national who received a removal order in 2024.
Chatham County Police were not involved in the chase, but they were among the first to arrive at the scene, as the accident occurred near one of their precinct houses.
A statement from ICE alleges that Vasquez “initially complied” with officers’ orders before fleeing the scene.
Agents claim that Vasquez made a “reckless U-turn” at an intersection, ran a red light, and hit Davis’ car, killing her instantly.
Across social media, many have expressed doubts about that account, owing in large part to the gap between the reality of recent events in Minneapolis and the way those events were described in statements from ICE.
As you’re probably aware, this is the third death associated with ICE activities in US cities so far in 2026.
The shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti resulted in widespread protests, and ICE has finally begun to scale down its presence in Minnesota.
In addition to those incidents — both of which might still result in criminal charges for the officers involved — two ICE agents have now been accused of lying about an incident in which a Venezuelan man was shot in the leg.
The allegations of perjury come from none other than Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Todd Lyons, who says the agents in question lied under oath.
The federal government has now launched an investigation into the case.
