Weeks after the shooting of a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainee in Glen Burnie, Maryland, on Christmas Eve, the Department of Homeland Security has issued a statement that differs from the account first provided to the media.
Initially, in a social media post on Dec. 24, DHS stated the two men who were taken into custody by ICE in Glen Burnie were in a van they claimed had been driven “directly at ICE officers” and that the driver, Tiago Alexandre Sousa-Martins, was shot by officers “defensively.”
The account described a second man, Solomon Antonio Serrano-Esquivel, as being in the passenger’s seat of the van driven by Sousa-Martins, and that he was injured when Sousa-Martins “wrecked his van.
