    Ice killed someone in Chicago. I saw that go by last week.

    'With law enforcement releasing little information about the death of Silverio Villegas González, one advocate said they “have to stitch this together ourselves.”

      This article says security video footage shows one of the ICE agents shooting at the car as it was driving away from him.

      Security footage near the scene in Franklin Park, as reported by CBS News, shows two plainclothes agents approaching a silver sedan that had been blocked from moving by an unmarked SUV. The sedan eventually reverses away from the two agents, and the officer on the passenger side points his firearm at the vehicle.

        Previously ICE chased someone in LA out on to a busy roadway where they were struck and killed by a third party driver, that’s the only other murder I know of they’ve committed during an attempted kidnapping this year. I believe there have also been multiple instances of people dying from what appear to be preventable illnesses and a lack of medical care in detention, but I don’t have exact numbers there (of course, with as much information as they conceal I don’t think anybody does yet).
