The #House #GOP plan would be a short-term funding extension, providing money for the full department for 8 weeks, one source said.

The move will set up a clash with the #Senate, which has already left town for their 2-week Easter & Passover recess, & will likely prolong the #DHS shutdown by at least several more days.

The lawsuit said the #federal government is not permitted to “withhold investigative evidence for the purpose of shielding law enforcement officers from scrutiny where a #State is investigating serious potential violations of its #criminal laws, targeting its #citizens, within its borders.”

Senator Rand Paul's hearing of Secretary of Homeland Security nominee Markwayne Mullin brilliantly exposes Mullin's violent temperament and why he should not head the Departmant of Homeland Security (an illegitimate agency in its own right).

After the investigative material was released Friday, lawyers for #RubenMartinez’s mother, Rachel Reyes, said the footage called the government’s narrative into question.
“These new videos confirm that Ruben’s car was barely moving when he was shot,” Charles M. Stam & Alex Stamm said in a statement. “That he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger.”

In January, #immigration personnel in Minneapolis shot #RenéeGood & #AlexPretti in separate incidents days apart. 3 months earlier, a #CBP agent shot & injured #MarimarMartinez in Chicago. In each of those 3 cases, admin officials accused the victims of endangering the officers before they were killed, &…their characterizations were proved false once more information about the #shootings became public.

The evidence provides a raft of new information about the first known #DHS fatal #shooting of a #US #citizen since #Trump returned to office & began his aggressive #immigration crackdown.

More than a dozen people have been shot by DHS personnel over the past 14 months, including at least 2 other fatal shootings of US citizens during immigration enforcement operations.

Sosa told investigators that Martinez’s car struck his legs, causing him to fall over the hood before Stevens opened fire. It is not clear from the nighttime footage whether the exceptionally slow-moving car actually hit Sosa. Footage from a nearby business shows the hood of the Ford. But the video is grainy & skips through some portions & does not definitively show whether there is a figure on top of the hood.
