Texas man was fatally shot by a U.S. immigration agent last year during a stop, new records show
Surprised? The Associated Press and other news media outlets are reporting that newly released records show a U.S. citizen was shot and killed in Texas by a federal immigration agent last year that was not publicly disclosed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The death would mark the first of at least six deadly shootings by U.S. officers since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s second term. DHS said the shooting occurred after the driver intentionally struck an agent.
The shooting involved a Homeland Security Investigations team that was conducting an immigration enforcement operation.
The recently released records are part of heavily redacted internal documents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.
