US citizen shot and killed by federal immigration agent last year, new records show Shooting death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, in Texas was not publicly disclosed by Department of Homeland Security

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public.

It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests.

What else is the regime hiding from us?

We urge the government to confirm a long-term funding arrangement to ensure their vital work continues ⬇️

Hillsborough Law will 'criminalise lying' by senior ministers, say campaigners It's via a new standalone offence - which will apply to the prime minister - of "misleading the public", punishable by up to two years in jail.

Exclusive: Zack Polanski Accuses Nigel Farage Of 'Running Scared' Of Head-To-Head Debate The Reform leader said "if you pick a fight which a chimney sweep you get covered in soot".

We have 400 volunteers on the streets of Gorton and Denton today.

Labour are out of it. It's Greens vs Reform.

Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.
