Alert: immigration repeatedly lying about people they kill trying to run them over with their car

Today ICE killed a US Citizen.
Predictably, they’re pretending she tried to run them over with her car. What’s the indication they’re lying?
Take the case of Marimar Miranda. An immigration officer said she tried to run him over with her car and so he had to shoot her multiple times. Turned out the body camera video showed he was the one who crashed into her car. Not the other way around.

DHS noted in a press release that Martinez had been armed with a “semi-automatic weapon.” Martinez and a 21-year-old man were charged with assaulting a federal officer with her vehicle, which was classified as a dangerous weapon. They faced up to 20 years in prison.

Then the case fell apart.

It turned out Martinez legally owned the gun, and her attorneys contended that video footage — from security cameras and body cameras worn by Border Patrol officers — undermined the official narrative. The videos showed a Border Patrol agent steering his vehicle into Martinez’s truck, rather than the other way around, her attorney said. Text messages showed the federal agent bragging about his marksmanship after the shooting.


This and more cases are discussed here.
