00:00On December 25th, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents opened fire on a moving van during a raid in Glen Burnie, Maryland, injuring two civilians.
00:11ICE claimed the van tried to run them over, but witnesses reported the vehicle accelerated before stopping in a wooded area.
00:19The timing of the raid carried out on Christmas morning has thrown outrage from immigrant advocates who see it as a cruel disregard for community life.
00:30Federal officials quickly levelled the injured men as illegally present in the U.S. but offered no clarity on arrest.
00:37Critics argue this framing distract from the fact that ICE agents discharge their weapons as civilians in a residential neighbourhood on a holiday meant for peace and family.
00:50ICE is allegedly conducting its own internal review as a process that leaves accountability largely in the hands of the same agency responsible for the violence.
