Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.
Silverio Villegas González was an undocumented immigrant who was shot and killed at close range while allegedly trying to flee.
He was dragged from his vehicle at a traffic stop after dropping his children off at school.
The bullet went through the back of his neck.
Keith Porter was shot and killed by an off duty ICE officer on New Years Eve in LA.
The officer alleges Porter pulled a weapon on him but the family and other witnesses deny that.
Renee Nicole Good was shot three times by an ICE agent who called her a “f*cking b*tch” after.
ICE claims she was using her vehicle as a weapon despite multiple videos showing she was trying to drive away from the agent.
2 of the 3 shots were through driver side door.
The ICE agent shot her through her windshield, moved out of the way of the vehicle and kept shooting.
He was in no danger. But he didn’t stop shooting until he got the kill shot.
Independent autopsy confirms it was through her left temple and out the right side of her skull.
There’s been so much documented abuse of power.
In addition to the shootings we have Liam Ramos, a five year old child who was used as bait and then taken by masked agents and sent from Minnesota to Texas.
There’s Geraldo Campos who was choked to death in an ICE camp in Texas.
The medical examiner officially ruled his death a homicide, and DHS moved to deport the witnesses!
Chaofeng Ge was found hanging in ICE custody.
They ruled it a suicide despite his arms and legs being tied behind his back.
Randall Gamboa Esquivel was in perfect health when detained by ICE.
He disappeared while in custody.
By the time his family located him, he was in a persistent vegetative state.
They deported him to Costa Rica and he died soon after.
David Courvelle worked as a detention officer in an ICE facility in Louisiana.
He sexually assaulted a Nicaraguan detainee for three months, forcing other detainees to keep watch while he abused her.
Silvia Reyna Mendoza, a mother of 8 who had been in the US for 40 years, was sexually harassed by an ICE contractor.
He reportedly would tell her if she was good to him, he would be good to her.
When she reported the harassment she was immediately detained.
Bayron Rovidio Marin had his leg broken during an ICE raid in LA.
He was then held in the hospital under a fake name so no one could find him.
He was chained to a hospital bed for 37 days until a court ordered his release.
There’s Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been in ICE custody for almost a year.
He was only two days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when they grabbed him.
He’s being denied his prosthetics, he’s been placed in solitary and his health is declining
Now there’s Alex Pretti, another US citizen shot and killed in broad daylight.
These are not just a few random incidents.
It’s not a few “bad apples”.
It’s a systemic problem.
These agents have been allowed to hide their identities, filled with hateful rhetoric and told they have immunity.
People are being abused, assaulted and killed by ICE.
This isn’t about immigration or crime, it’s about control & creating fear.
It’s tyranny and no one is safe under tyranny.
The scariest part is these are only the cases we know about.
At least 1,200 people are missing from Alligator Alcatraz.
Elected officials are regularly denied access into the camps.
We have to assume we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
Abolish ICE.
Close the camps.
Keep witnessing and speaking out.
