Bodycam video contradicts ICE claims in fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas Video of last year's fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez obtained by CBS News appears to contradict claims that Martinez was shot by an ICE agent because he "accelerated" and "intentionally ran over"...

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."

But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

They already send 6 cars to basically any and every call…. But sure. They need more response capacity….

$3.7 Billion: Estimated Cost of Epic Fury’s First 100 Hours Operation Epic Fury costs nearly $900 million per day, driven by the large expenditure of munitions. Because most of this is not in the budget, the Pentagon will soon need to ask for more money.

Never forget that the U.S. can always find money for war, but not for education, health care, or to help those in need. This is 100% a choice. And it is 100% the wrong one. www.csis.org/analysis/37-...

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

Conditions at ICE's largest detention facility β€” revealed in data from more than a hundred 911 calls, interviews and court filings β€” offer a disturbing portrait of overcrowding, medical neglect, malnutrition and emotional distress.

The thing I keep wondering as David Ellison does this spiel: What if the truth doesn’t happen to align with what the β€œ70% of centrist Americans” whom Ellison defines as his audience want to see on the news?

It’s weird how this doesn’t say β€œoops we accidentally pushed out/incentivized to leave/fired” a lot of engineers and it turns out engineering projects need those.

Last year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests β€” a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a β€œminimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
