Fatal ICE shooting in South Padre Island, Texas

https://www.texastribune.org/2026/02/20/texas-ice-fatal-shooting-south-padre-island/

Three months into President Donald Trump’s mass deportation undertaking, an ICE officer shot and killed a U.S. citizen in South Padre Island, long before immigration agents killed another American in Minnesota that prompted outrage across the nation, according to records released this week that were not previously disclosed by the government.


It happened in March 2025.
