“… Reyes said she first learned her son had been shot by a federal agent, rather than a local police officer, about a week after he was killed.

She was contacted by an investigator from the Rangers who she said told her there were videos of the shooting that contradicted the account provided by federal agents. DHS did not immediately respond to an email Friday about the claim that there is video showing a different account.

She said she was told by the investigator that the state report into the shooting was completed in October and that the case would be presented to a grand jury for potential criminal charges.

Messages left with the office of Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz, an elected Democrat whose jurisdiction includes South Padre Island, received no response Friday. South Padre Island Police Chief Claudine O'Carroll also did not respond to requests for comment.

Attorneys for the family said Friday they have spent the past year pursuing accountability and transparency….”

Just because there ISN'T a video, does not mean there WASN'T a video.

Dedication to Laissez-Faire capitalism and Constitutional Democratic Republicanism are a fitful pairing and when the former rules, as it will seek to do, the latter suffers often to the point of becoming nigh unrecognizable and at best a façade.

We’ve lived with that facade since at least 1/20/1981.

Russian family who complained of mistreatment in ICE facility is released after 4 months

The family’s lawyer had sought their release on medical grounds. They were freed from detention days after NBC News brought attention to their case.

“… Nikita, his wife, Oksana, and their three children had been held since October at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, where they said they endured worms and mold in their food, hourslong waits for medicine and restless nights under lights that never fully dimmed.

…Last week, the Department of Homeland Security had told NBC News it was required by law to hold the family in custody until their asylum claims were heard. DHS did not immediately respond to questions about what prompted the reversal.

Before leaving Dilley and boarding a flight to California, the family gathered for a final video call with their lawyer and a reporter. The couple asked to be identified only by their first names because they fear retaliation if deported to Russia.

…
Their mood during the call was buoyant. Asked what they most wanted once they were free, the answers came quickly.

Kirill, 13, said he wanted a Subway sandwich. His sister, Kamilla, 12 — whose birthday had passed days earlier — said she hoped for sushi. Four-year-old Konstantin wanted to be reunited with his favorite stuffed animal, Stitch from the Disney movie “Lilo & Stitch,” which had been confiscated when officers detained them.

Their parents’ hopes were more fundamental.

“We want to be at our own home, feeling safe,” Nikita said. “There is no sense of being safe here.”…”

“… The administration’s goal, Mukherjee said, seems to be “making conditions in detention so miserable and unbearable that children and adults alike give up on their immigration cases.”

“My clients from New Jersey to Texas have given up on valid immigration cases, valid applications for visas, because they cannot stand to be in detention any longer,” she said.

… For Nikita and Oksana, giving up was never an option. Returning to Russia would be perilous, they said, because of Nikita’s outspoken opposition to President Vladimir Putin’s government.

The terms of their release weren’t immediately clear, Mukherjee said. She said they plan to stay with a sponsor family in California and likely will be required to attend regular check-ins with Immigration and Customs Enforcement as their case moves forward — a supervision process routinely used by past administrations before DHS began detaining parents and children in large numbers last year.

The family’s path to detention began more than a year ago, when they fled Russia for Mexico. After a year trying to determine the best path to safety, they crossed the U.S. border and requested asylum, hoping America would be a refuge.

Instead, they were transferred to Dilley.

In an interview with NBC News last week, the family described days that blurred together as the children grew listless, with little to do and few familiar comforts. Meals were repetitive, greasy and sometimes inedible, they said, and schooling was nonexistent.…”

Best, may the entire administration be sent from this world to a warehouse in Hell. Did you ever imagine that the USA would be housing entire families in warehouses for the crime of hoping to become an American.
 
I have no sympathy for anything bad happening to Trump and his MAGA cronies. They are all sociopaths who want a country for only straight white Christian extremists. They can all burn in hell.
