Federal agents shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Texas last year, but initial reports did not reveal their involvement, with the details now coming to light through internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records.

Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was shot by an ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, after what ICE described as a failure to follow law enforcement instructions during a traffic incident as agents worked with local police on immigration enforcement.

      It is misleading. I guess they meant 3 US citizens shot dead in the street

      That Guadian article lists all deaths linked to ICE. The title clearly states Americans killed by ICE.

      Mind you, given their behaviour 3 does sound a little low. But what do I know, I’m not a citizen of the US either.

    Lots of street loners everywhere who have no one to look out for them. I wonder how many of those people were chopped down by the feds? WTF?!

      When this is over, it will be impossible to punish EVERY citizen who was seduced by MAGA, but we’ll know who the ICE Apes were, and EVERY single one of them should be arrested, and prosecuted.

      We’re going to hear the “But I was only following orders” excuse a LOT.
