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.

Rep #JamieRaskin said that after #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti's deaths in January, #KristiNoem launched a "smear campaign" against them as she made comments that labeled their conduct as "domestic terrorism."
"You've provided no evidence to back up your defamatory lie against either of these American citizens," Raskin said.

A federal judge has accused the Trump administration of terrorizing immigrants and recklessly violating the law in its efforts to deport millions of people living in the country illegally. Citing the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, the judge said in a scathing decision late Wednesday that the White House had also “extended its violence on its own citizens.” U.S. District Judge Sunshine Sykes in Riverside, California ordered the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to provide detained immigrants around the country with notice of her earlier decision that they may be eligible to seek release on bond. The department said in a statement that the Supreme Court had “repeatedly overruled” lower courts on the issue of mandatory detention.
