[NYTimes]: My Son Was Killed by ICE. I Want Accountability. By Rachel Reyes. Ms. Reyes is the mother of Ruben Ray Martinez, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in March 2025. Saturday, July 18, 2026

After the investigative material was released Friday, lawyers for #RubenMartinez’s mother, Rachel Reyes, said the footage called the government’s narrative into question. “These new videos confirm that Ruben’s car was barely moving when he was shot,” Charles M. Stam & Alex Stamm said in a statement. “That he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger.”

The internal #DHS documents claimed that officers & agents commanded #RubenMartinez to stop & get out of his car as he approached law enforcement personnel from several agencies who were securing the scene of a vehicle accident involving multiple injuries. Martinez “accelerated forward, striking a HSI special agent who wound up on the hood of the vehicle,” the internal documents claim.
Following the public disclosure of the killing, a DHS spox said Martinez “intentionally ran over” the agent. -
In a fourth case, 2 #ICE officers were suspended & placed under federal investigation after making false statements about the nonfatal #shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, in Minneapolis.
While those cases drew immediate & intense public scrutiny, #DHS did not publicly acknowledge that one of its agents had fatally shot #RubenMartinez in TX, until last month, when a lawsuit brought by a nonprofit government watchdog group unearthed the agency’s narrative of the incident.
