The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence

A few months ago, ICE agents shot a TikToker. The govt then charged him, alleging he tried to ram agents
Well guess what?
Body-cam footage -- which the gov't delayed disclosing -- shows that's BS.
The agent shot by mistake.
And a judge just dismissed charges.
