A man was shot and killed by ICE officials in Houston, Texas, after witnesses and the driver's lawyer disputed the Trump administration's claim that he 'weaponized' his vehicle. The three men in the van with him are being pressured to self-deport, and they denied an ICE agent was in front of the vehicle when the shooting occurred.

Trump’s updated green card rule requires some individuals to self-deport to their native country and wait months or years for approval, with no assurance of reentry. The policy is described as an assault on legal immigration.
