Prosecutors accuse Martinez and Ruiz of driving into and “striking the Customs and Border Protection vehicle on both the driver’s and passenger’s side” and say 10 civilian vehicles then boxed in the ICE agents.

However, attorney Christopher Parente, who’s representing Martinez and Ruiz, says new body cam footage shows agents ramming Martinez, contradicting the ICE version of events.

Parente says body cam footage shows the ICE agent aiming his assault rifle and shouting, “Do something, b—h,” moments before opening fire.

    However, attorney Christopher Parente, who’s representing Martinez and Ruiz, says new body cam footage shows agents ramming Martinez, contradicting the ICE version of events.

    Parente says body cam footage shows the ICE agent aiming his assault rifle and shouting, “Do something, b—h,” moments before opening fire.

    Parente is demanding "all texts and communications from the ICE agent who fired be preserved,” that “any repairs, inspections or even car washes performed on the SUV be documented” and that “all ICE and Homeland Security communications in this case, including emails, texts, notes and internal documents, be retained.”
