Assume Every ICE Agent is a Murderer
By 
How many ICE deaths are we going to discover? I just assume that every ICE agent is trained to kill and given permission to do so.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has told Newsweek that a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent fired “defensive shots” at a driver after he “intentionally ran over” another federal agent.
Immigration agents shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, on March 15, 2025, in South Padre Island, Texas, but the involvement of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) HSI unit was not publicly disclosed at the time.
New details later emerged through internal ICE records obtained by watchdog American Oversight via a Freedom of Information Act request and reviewed by Newsweek.
Rachel Reyes, mother of Ruben Ray Martinez, told Newsweek via email, “Since Ruben’s death a year ago, all we have wanted is justice for him and we have struggled with the silence surrounding his killing. Now, the country is in crisis – and, terribly, heartbreakingly, other families are enduring what we have. It’s my hope that attention being raised now into Ruben’s death will help bring the justice we want for him and the answers we haven’t had.”
There is, of course, absolutely no reason to believe the government that Martinez was attacking an agent. We already know ICE routinely lies about its violence when news of it comes out. This was likely just flat out murder by a murderous agency and a murderous president.
