Overview
- ICE says Martinez intentionally ran over an HSI agent, prompting another agent to fire defensive shots that proved fatal.
- A draft declaration from passenger Joshua Orta asserted Martinez did not hit anyone, directly contradicting the official account.
- Orta died in a separate car crash in February before signing the statement or testifying, removing a key witness.
- A Texas grand jury last month declined to issue charges in the case, according to ICE.
- Martinez’s mother says she has received no footage or reports and is urging reforms to federal immigration enforcement.
