Witnesses Arrested After ICE Killing Claim Agency is Lying
Jose Trinidad Rojas, one of the passengers in the vehicle, has refuted claims made by ICE, stating in a handwritten declaration that officers were not positioned in a way that would have prompted a belief they were going to be run over. His lawyer, Hugo Balderas-Ibarra, reported that Rojas and the other passengers, Daniel Tirado Pantoja and Victor Salgado, independently corroborated this account, asserting that ICE misrepresented the victim’s intentions. Victor Salgado further alleged that agents initiated gunfire from the passenger side, hitting his brother, and subsequently taunted him as he succumbed to his injuries. All four individuals in the car had resided in the United States for at least two decades prior to their arrest following the incident.
