They lied again
turns out, the government guy rammed her car, another guy pointed a gun, swore, and shot her seven times with five bullets
then drove the police car to Maine
a bullet fell out at the auto shop from which emergency personnel retrieved the victim
DHS just dropped all charges

Per se impeachable every time he does it
Ten days of footage from the Broadview, IL ICE facility were lost one day after inmates filed a lawsuit
https://www.404media.co/ice-says-cri...r-it-was-sued/Jana Brady, an assistant US attorney representing the Department of Homeland Security in the case, did not have much information about what had happened to the footage, and said she was trying to get in touch with contractors the government had hired. She also said the government should not be forced to retain surveillance footage from every camera at the facility and that the “we [the federal government] don’t have the resources to save all of the video footage"
Judge Ellis issues a preliminary injunction in Chicago
Third federal judge to call bull on Trump's bogus public order emergencies
"https://www.courtlistener.com/docket...e-club-v-noem/"Defendants would have people believe instead that the Chicagoland area is in a vise hold of violence, ransacked by rioters, and ttacked by agitators – which justifies the unprecedented swath of indiscriminate uses of force unleashed on journalists..protestors. That narrative simply is untrue."

"After reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court and listening to the testimony elicited at the preliminary injunction hearing, during depositions, and in other court proceedings, the Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible."
Judge Ellis calls Bovino a liar
.""Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible. Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing “cute” responses to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s questions or outright lying"
rights trampled
Charlotte's Web has already been declared won
The DHS/Bovino Immigration Sweep road show is off to Mississippi and Alabama
Fewer legal entanglements than Chicago for an already overstretched DOJ
and fairer weather
Judge Immergut in Oregon also ruled Trump's deployment ultra vires
Immergut is nobody's lib
(I think Immergut interviewed Lewinsky for Ken Starr, or something like that)
Basically, what happened was LEOs rammed Martinez's car and shot her 5X for no reason
Then they prosecuted her for it and covered up their participation
Strictly sinister behavior, I think that's a literal crime
Kinda like democrats trying to cover up killing Ashli Babbett on Jan. 6th.
https://ncnewsline.com/2025/11/20/th...atrol-in-cary/The first thing they asked Fernando Vazquez was “Where are you from?”
When two unmarked SUVs full of Border Patrol agents arrived Tuesday at the Cary construction site where Vazquez, 18, is employed, the only thing he could think of was to call his dad, another worker on the site. “I just told him, run, and to hide.”
The work at the site was virtually complete, with only around 10 workers present on an average day. Because of absences — with fears of Border Patrol and ICE chilling construction sites across the Triangle — Vazquez said there were only about four people on the site, part of why he didn’t believe they would be targeted.
“I didn’t believe it would happen to me,” Vazquez said. “I was born here.”
The agents who approached him wore masks, gloves, and dark glasses. At first, Vazquez reserved his right to remain silent, but when one agent began questioning him in Spanish, he started swearing at them “to make time to stall them,” he said. “I’m thinking about the workers and my dad.”
As he tried to step out of the enclosure, he said, Border Patrol agents climbed over the fence to corner him. One yanked an AirPod out of Vazquez’s ear and set it on the AC unit beside him. When Vazquez tried to retrieve it and put it back in the case, he said, the agent shouted, “Don’t touch me.”
“I’m like, ‘I’m not touching you.’ And then he said, ‘If you touch me, there’s going to be a problem,’” Vazquez said.
That was when they handcuffed him and searched him, pulling his wallet out of his pocket.
“They saw my North Carolina Real ID,” he said. “They were looking for an ID or some sort of do entation, so at that moment, they could have let me free. But no, they decided to take me.”
Vazquez was placed in the SUV with one of his fellow workers on the construction site, a young man who was crying. As they drove away, the agents continued to question Vazquez, asking him again where he was from and where he was born as they went through his wallet.
When he told them he was born in Raleigh, the agent questioning him grew angry, Vazquez said. They abruptly pulled off the road into the parking lot of a carpet cleaning company, where they dumped him, a half mile away from where they picked him up, throwing his wallet and cards out of the SUV window as they drove off.
“I have no idea why they just dropped me off,” he added. “I kind of felt like I was being kidnapped.”
His video of Border Patrol uncuffing him and driving away has gone viral on TikTok, ac ulating 3 million views and thousands of concerned comments. In the video, an agent with his face covering lowered appears to lunge at the phone with a raised hand, which Vazquez said he believed was an attempt by the agent to conceal his iden y.
As Vazquez left the SUV, the other detainee asked him, “Tell my brother that they got me.”
“It devastated me,” Vazquez said. “It broke my heart to realize how two brothers were being separated in front of my eyes.”

sounds like a false hit on the ICE facial recognition app
could happen to anyone, usually they kidnap first and check ID later, if at all
https://www.wpri.com/news/local-news...-court-intern/A Rhode Island Superior Court intern was briefly taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Providence Thursday afternoon before a judge intervened, according to the state’s Judiciary office.
The student, a high school intern at Superior Court, was reportedly detained by the agents outside the Licht Judicial Complex on Benefit Street.
Superior Court Judge Joseph McBurney insisted the agents had the wrong person. It was not until ICE verified their information and admitted the intern was not their intended target that he was released.
Multiple sources told Target 12 that Rhode Island sheriffs earlier noticed someone taking photos of the intern inside the courthouse and in Superior Court Judge McBurney’s courtroom. When approached, the individual identified himself as an ICE agent and was told to abide by standard courthouse rules, and to stop taking pictures.
The intern was reportedly shaken, so McBurney offered to drive him home. ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply.
Dana Smith, Head of Security Operations for R.I. Superior Court, confronted the agents and told both the judge and the intern to stay inside the car. After an argument, ICE confirmed they had misidentified the teen and left. The intern was released once his ID was checked.
none of the September 27th DHS charges of violence against officers stood up in court
zero
https://www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/2...-success-rate/Back on October 8, I noted that of the eleven people DHS claimed had been arrested at a September 27 protest at the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago, a protest at which Greg Bovino had promised a “ show,” the cases of all but one had been dismissed.
Bovino, I noted, was batting just 9% on his claims that protestors had engaged in violence.
Well, yesterday, the case of Dana Briggs, a 70-year old Air Force veteran charged with assault when he fell as officers were pushing him back, was dismissed too. He had planned to call Bovino as a witness at his December trial. Bovino’s success rate at substantiating his claim there were any rioters from that day is now zero.
Briggs is not actually the most stunning dismissal from yesterday. The case against Marimar Martinez (and her co-defendant Anthony Ruiz) was also dismissed, just before a follow-up hearing on the things the CBP agent, Charles Exum, did and said before and after he shot her.
At a press hearing afterward, Martinez’ attorney Christopher Parente suggested they would still be seeking vindication for her, so hopefully we’ll still get to learn what DOJ dropped the case in hopes of suppressing.
The Magistrate Judge who dismissed Briggs case (who had also signed the arrest warrants for the five actual arrests on September 27), Gabriel Fuentes, wrote a long opinion about the collapse of the September 27 cases.
Examining more closely the five September 27 Broadview criminal arrest cases, all of which came before the undersigned magistrate judge, the Court notes the following facts:
1) The initial complaints charged four (Collins, Robledo, Ivery, and Briggs) of the foregoing five persons with felony violations of Section 111(a). Only the complaint against Mazur was filed as a misdemeanor.
2) With today’s dismissal of the Briggs criminal information, none of these cases remains pending today – all have been dismissed.
3) As the docket entries reflect in all five of the cases, the undersigned magistrate judge obtained a sworn statement from the affiants in each affidavit, at the time of complaint issuance, that not only were the affidavit allegations true, but that video evidence of the encounters existed, that the affiants had reviewed the video evidence, and that the video evidence corroborated the version of events set forth in the affidavits. Mazur (D.E. 11); Collins/Robledo (D.E. 26); Ivery (D.E. 13); and Briggs (D.E. 14).
[snip]
4) Each of the five persons arrested on September 27 from Broadview on Section 111 charges endured official detention (or other government restrictions on their liberty) after their arrests.
[snip]
Importantly, nothing in this order should be construed as scolding the government for dismissing in these cases. Dismissing appears to be the responsible thing for the government to have done, in light of the government’s judgment and discretion. But the Court cannot help but note just how unusual and possibly unprecedented it is for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in this district to charge so hastily that it either could not obtain the indictment in the grand jury or was forced to dismiss upon a conclusion that the case is not provable, in repeated cases of a similar nature. Federal arrest brings federal detention, even for a short time. It brings the need to obtain counsel, to appear at court hearings, to answer the charges (as Briggs did in this case, pleading not guilty), and to prepare for trial (as Briggs also has had to do in this case). Being charged with a federal felony, even if it is later reduced to a misdemeanor, is no walk in the park.
accountability is coming

ICE keeps arresting US citizens
https://www.opb.org/article/2025/11/...s-enforcement/“This afternoon, we became aware of an incident off school grounds in which a high school student was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] during today’s lunch period,” McMinnville Superintendent Kourtney Ferrua wrote in a message to parents. “Students who were nearby witnessed the event. We are working to verify information through appropriate channels and remain in communication with local partners.”
The Yamhill County News-Register reported that the family of the arrested 17-year-old student said he is a U.S. citizen.
ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment about why it targeted a high school student.
the car contained two US citizens
DHS pussies broke their window with a gun barrel because they honked their horn
