here's the body camera footage
DOJ releases information it formerly claimed would smear BPS agent Charles Exum, the man who shot Marimar Martinez five times
The footage seems to undermine the initial Homeland Security claim that Martinez and another man “rammed” the Tahoe driven by Exum that also carried the two additional agents. It also appears to support Martinez’s claim that Exum swerved his Tahoe in her direction.
Now Martinez is expected to announce a new lawsuit stemming from the shooting at a press conference Wednesday with her attorneys. They say newly released evidence from the case will show that Exum lied to the FBI about firing all five shots into Martinez’s front windshield.
They’ve said previously that at least one bullet was likely fired from behind.https://chicago.suntimes.com/immigra...lease-evidenceFederal prosecutors had objected to the release of some of the evidence. But they ultimately released the records Tuesday after Alexakis ruled against them Friday. A spokesman for U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros’ office declined to comment.
Christopher Parente, Martinez’s attorney, said he found it “ironic that after months of fighting the release of this evidence … the U.S. attorney’s office releases it at the 11th hour in a misguided attempt to take the sting out of just how damaging it is for the government.”

FIRE sues DHS for strongarming social media to take down accounts posting ICE activity

- The First Amendment protects the right to discuss, record, and criticize what law enforcement does in public.
- The federal government strong-armed Apple and Facebook to remove ICE activity monitoring from company platforms.
- It’s uncons utional for the government to coerce private companies into censorship.

US citizens swept up in DHS immigrant dragnet
https://www.justsecurity.org/131101/...exas-pipeline/Beginning in December 2025, under “Operation Metro Surge,” ICE and CBP agents conducted warrantless arrests of residents across Minneapolis and St. Paul — at homes, on roads, during check-ins, and outside stores. Targets included U.S. citizens, legal permanent residents, and others with legal status and without a final order of removal.
Racial profiling do ented in Hussen v. Noem: The ACLU class-action lawsuit contains 29 sworn declarations. 100% of declarants had legal status or status pending — the supermajority are U.S. citizens. No warrants were shown. Somali and Latino communities and individuals were apparently systematically targeted based on appearance. All declarations are collected from the court docket and available in a bank at Just Security.
Phase 2-3, transportation/detention at Whipple
Phase 4: transfer to TexasThe Whipple Building at Fort Snelling is allegedly highly overcrowded, lacks adequate bedspace, hygiene (including overflowing toilet water), and food. Historically used for processing under 12 hours, it became a de facto detention facility where people were held for days.
Stage 5: detention in TexasWithin hours — sometimes before processing was complete — detainees were handcuffed, shackled, loaded onto buses, driven to the airport, and flown to El Paso, Texas. Planes carried 80-120 detainees at a time. Attorneys and families were not notified. Some transfers violated active court orders; detainees include individuals with legal status and not subject to removal orders.
Exit A, detainees released/strandedDetainees were held at facilities in Texas. They were allegedly pressured to sign self-deportation papers even when the court had ordered their release, pushed to cross over the Mexico border, denied phone access and counsel, and held in overcrowded cells with poor hygiene (including flooding with sewage water) and inadequate food. Allegations of beatings and sexual abuse are rampant.
Exit B: indefinite detention or deportationAfter courts ordered release, detainees were transported – in handcuffs, and chains around their waists – to Minnesota oftentimes to be released in the dead of winter. Some were released at the Whipple Building at night without phones, coats, or any way to contact family. Others were left on the streets of Texas to find their own way back.
The average temperature in Minneapolis over January and the first week of February 2026 was highs of 22–25°F and lows of 4–10°F, with wind chills regularly below −10°F. Multiple federal judges had to include special protective language in their orders about the danger of releasing people into extreme cold.
Exit C: flown back to MinnesotaFor those not released by court order, the pipeline can lead to indefinite detention across multiple facilities or to deportation — often under allegedly coerced “voluntary” self-deportation agreements signed without access to counsel or compelled to physically cross the Mexican border (see also Stage 5 Declarations). Those who refused were allegedly told they could be held indefinitely or deported to other countries.
After courts ordered release, others were transported by plane, in handcuffs and chains, back to Minnesota for release.
to be completely clear, the linked article does not allege US citizens were transferred to or detained in Texas, just that they got swept up in DHS's racial profiling operations in Minnesota

here's the scary "semi-automatic weapon" DHS told us about
found holstered in the bottom of Martinez's purse
Martinez has a valid concealed carry permit
TSA and yoni and the rest of the ST Trump krew choose ICE.
Every time.
They'll somehow spin that these victims and their holstered concealed weapons aren't protected by the 2A.
And then bonus argue that the mini van used to run away from ice agents is a weapon.

Judge cites unreliable information (they lied about what happened) plus prosecutorial shenanigans
(DOJ tried to dismiss without prejudice so it could revive the charges later)
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...edondo-rosalesThe judge ordered the case dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. The judge further said the “right to protest is a core first amendment protection”, and allowing prosecutors to recharge Redondo-Rosales “risks sending a dangerous signal: that when officials are confronted with protest or criticism, they may respond with aggressive tactics and then deploy criminal charges that can be imposed, withdrawn, and revived at the Government’s discretion

lol
Months later, after all the lies, after the video evidence is released, DHS does the thing consistent with agency policy
U.S. Customs and Border Protection says Border Patrol agent Charles Exum, who shot Chicago's Marimar Martinez, "was placed on administrative leave":
Just wait until these individual ice s start getting personally sued. That'll be fun.
identification will be crowdsourced
there's a Dutch website that's outing violent DHS agents
consider it stipulated
so what?
you're so skeptical of information contrary to personal bias that you'll disbelieve everything but the irrefutable; for information supporting your bias, threadbare excuses and bald lies will do
badmotorscooter asked me if I had any reason to think BPS did anything wrong
The video answers it
BPS sideswiped Marimar Martinez's car because Charles Exum wanted to get aggro, then shot her five times for no reason -- twice from the side and once from behind
Exum immediately drove the car out of state and had the car repaired
Then DHS lied in court about what happened, pressing assault charges on Martinez
The charges were eventually dropped by DOJ, but that didn't stop DHS/FBI for continuing to call Martinez a terrorist
Now the evidence comes out and people can see for themselves that DHS lies and DOJ carries those lies faithfully to federal criminal courts

depriving Texas prisons of needed workers
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/new...g-21268530.phpUntil federal immigration agents declared the Rev. James Eliud Ngahu Mwangi a deportable alien, the Kenyan native was working as a Texas prison guard, with his employment authorization vetted by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
But Mwangi overstayed a visa, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said, and he was placed in deportation proceedings in October. Last month, he chose to voluntarily “self-deport” to his native Kenya instead of remaining in a detention facility in Conroe.
Mwangi’s employment with the state agency wasn’t unusual. He was one of several hundred immigrants working for TDCJ with valid work authorization that was verified by state officials.
Criminal justice experts said TDCJ’s need for immigrant labor, even in deep red Texas where tough-on-immigration rhetoric is expanding, speaks to the agency's long-standing problem maintaining staffing levels.
harassing Americans at home for exercising 1A rights
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/us/minneapolis-ice-agents-protester-home-visits.html“They just came over to intimidate me,” Mr. Woo said in an interview this week. “To say, ‘We know where you live.’”
His was not an isolated experience. Among nearly 100 sworn statements filed in federal court on Friday are more than a dozen accounts like Mr. Woo’s, in which federal agents deployed to Minnesota singled out protesters, finding the addresses of their homes and showing up there.
It is not entirely clear how the agents determined the monitors’ home addresses; some assumed the agents had used their vehicles’ license plates. But whatever the case, the sworn statements describe a remarkable projection of police power.
NIMBY vibes, across the nation
