Episode notes
Shooting Appears Unjustified
- Videos and eyewitness accounts indicate the ICE agent fired into the driver's side window at close range while the car moved slowly.
- The shooting appears unjustified and shows extreme recklessness rather than an imminent threat.

- The White House and DHS rushed to blame the victim using a misleading clip from afar.
- That public spin collapsed under closer video and eyewitness evidence showing contradictions.

- That template often falls apart when detailed evidence emerges, as in past cases.
