Ruben Ray Martinez, a U.S. citizen, was shot and killed by an ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, during a traffic incident.

Following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was informed that federal agents would not share their investigative file with state authorities.
