"A DHS Homeland Security Investigation (HIS) agent shot and killed American citizen Ruben Ray Martinez (23) in Texas last year, but initial reports did not reveal their involvement, with the details now coming to light through internal ICE records and FOIA requests.

ICE had described the murder of Ruben Ray Martinez as a failure to follow law enforcement instructions during a traffic incident as agents worked with local police on immigration enforcement."

Why HSI investigators were involved in traffic control was unclear when the experts at that are local uniformed city, county, or state police officers, not Feds. Map: South Padre Island

We are all Palestinians now

There is no "fixing ICE or DHS" other than immediately scrapping both agencies completely. Period.

How many people have died in ICE custody?

"Based on recent reports, at least 32 people died in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody during the 2025 calendar year, marking the highest number of deaths in over two decades.

As of late January and early February 2026, at least six to eight additional deaths have been reported, indicating a rising trend in fatalities."

Muy proud Trumpers!

MAGA (and by extension, ICE)'s entire perverted worldview was decoded and parsed by the First Protocol of the Elders of Zion.

I bet many stay away from reading the first protocol (the most sickening 3-4 pages you'll ever read in your life) because it is a "forgery". Nevertheless, if you judge by actions and not words it has been unofficially adopted as a political blueprint by Christian Nationalists and their "allies". The Internet Archive has a free copy. The first protocol is a 15 minute read. No need for thanks. You're all welcome.

"The driver accelerated forward, striking a HSI special agent who wound up on the hood of the vehicle. Upon observing this, HSI group supervisory special agent utilized his government-issued service weapon, discharging multiple rounds at the driver through the open driver's side window."

You know, when a cop tells me to "step out of the vehicle" I do not instead hit the gas.
I've seen enough youtubes to know, that never ends well.
There is one thing I can't figure out though, is why the second and subsequent cop cars stack up behind the first, leaving a clear path for the getaway drive.
I'd say the backup should block in the misbehaving driver.

"forgery"
the action of forging or producing a copy of a document, signature, banknote, or work of art.
"he was found guilty of forgery"

a copy of a document

-not a fabrication.

Three deaths of American citizens?

Before you know it, this will be a pattern.

You can't figure it out because ICE is lying to you about it.

ICE is using IDF tactics and technology against us.

The IDF covers up killing people, ICE covers up killing people.

We are all Palestinians now with this "Israelization of America" to hate the "Other" (Muslims, Latinos, Asians, Somalis) and to shoot first, ask later.

I can see you are perfectly ok with the ICEholes committing crimes against civilians.

Thank you for that great analysis of how to block a car. With a car.

Have you applied for a job at ICE yet? That's one "jerb" them illegals can't take from you! They really need folks like you who believe that committing crimes against civilians and a few good murders are a good for America. Keeps us in line. And you also know how to park a car to block a car. That's amazing! That can cut a week off your 47 days of training!

And I'd still say because of everything in the videos I have seen it appears crimes have been committed by ICE and that they need to be fully investigated and prosecuted.

The kalergi plan.
"The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time, and prejudice. The Eurasian-Negroid race of the future will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals."

It would be easier to disregard these things if they weren't actually happening

Most of the youtubes are not of ICE, they are of regular cops making a traffic stop that morphs into a high-speed chase.
The runner often wrecks into an innocent motorist.
Almost always there is a backup who arrives before the dash, but never does he park in front of the criminal, which would preclude the sudden departure.

Got yer degree in criminology from the University of YouTube did ya?

Garsh I was wondering how you were so knowledgeable about how to park a car so that it will block another car.
