U.S. citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents about children gathering at bus stop, lawyers say

Leaving his home in Ontario to work at a food bank Thursday morning, Carlos Jimenez pulled over to warn a group of federal agents that they should wrap up their stop of a car quickly because school-age children would soon gather there to take the bus, his lawyers said Sunday.

In the following moments, the attorneys said an ICE officer shot Jimenez, a U.S. citizen and father of three, from behind.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, said at the time that Jimenez had “attempted to run officers over by reversing directly at them without stopping” and that the shots were “defensive.”
