After the investigative material was released Friday, lawyers for #RubenMartinez’s mother, Rachel Reyes, said the footage called the government’s narrative into question.
“These new videos confirm that Ruben’s car was barely moving when he was shot,” Charles M. Stam & Alex Stamm said in a statement. “That he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger.”

In January, #immigration personnel in Minneapolis shot #RenéeGood & #AlexPretti in separate incidents days apart. 3 months earlier, a #CBP agent shot & injured #MarimarMartinez in Chicago. In each of those 3 cases, admin officials accused the victims of endangering the officers before they were killed, &…their characterizations were proved false once more information about the #shootings became public.

The evidence provides a raft of new information about the first known #DHS fatal #shooting of a #US #citizen since #Trump returned to office & began his aggressive #immigration crackdown.

More than a dozen people have been shot by DHS personnel over the past 14 months, including at least 2 other fatal shootings of US citizens during immigration enforcement operations.

Sosa told investigators that Martinez’s car struck his legs, causing him to fall over the hood before Stevens opened fire. It is not clear from the nighttime footage whether the exceptionally slow-moving car actually hit Sosa. Footage from a nearby business shows the hood of the Ford. But the video is grainy & skips through some portions & does not definitively show whether there is a figure on top of the hood.

Rep #JamieRaskin said that after #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti's deaths in January, #KristiNoem launched a "smear campaign" against them as she made comments that labeled their conduct as "domestic terrorism."

"You've provided no evidence to back up your defamatory lie against either of these American citizens," Raskin said.

ICE Dragged Disabled U.S. Citizen From Car—Her Testimony Exposes Brutality

A disabled U.S. citizen recounts being dragged from her car by ICE, denied medical care, and smeared publicly. Her testimony raises urgent questions about federal power and accountability.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota and federal authorities are investigating the alleged beating of a Mexican citizen by immigration officers last month, seeking to identify what caused the eight skull fractures that landed the man in the intensive care unit of a Minneapolis hospital.

Judge Paul A. Magnuson #dismissed the charges on Friday with #prejudice, meaning the case cannot be refiled.

#ToddLyons, the acting director of #ICE, said in a statement Friday that 2 officers seemed to have provided “inaccurate testimony” [straight up #perjury].

Rosen wrote that “*newly* discovered #evidence in this matter is materially inconsistent with the allegations” that #federal officials made in a charging #document & in courtroom #testimony.

“Accordingly, #dismissal with #prejudice will serve the interests of #justice,” wrote Rosen, who was nominated by #Trump to be #USattorney in #Minnesota.

#MarimarMartinez, a teaching assistant & #US #citizen, was shot 5 times by a #BorderPatrol agent in October while in her vehicle. She was charged with a felony after #DHS officials accused her of trying to ram agents with her vehicle. But the case was dismissed after videos emerged showing an agent steering his vehicle into Martinez’s vehicle.

You have “nothing to fear if you’re an American citizen. If you’re not an American citizen, then look out.”

That’s what Border Patrol “Commander at Large” Gregory Bovino said in December, as he and his entourage of masked agents patrolled a residential neighborhood in Kenner, Louisiana, a diverse suburb of New Orleans. Asked by a reporter whether that threat applied to “legal residents,” too, Bovino attempted to clarify. “We’re friends with all legal residents,” he insisted.

Newly revealed arrest records show that a high-profile immigration raid on a South Shore Chicago apartment building last year that became a symbol of #Trump's harsh immigration tactics actually targeted squatters, not Venezuelan gang members.
