Mother of man killed by immigration agent demands justice

Season 2026 Episode 60 | 8m 57s

A year ago this week, Ruben Ray Martinez, a 23-year-old American citizen, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Texas. While the Department of Homeland Security says Martinez intentionally rammed his vehicle into an agent, recently released body cam footage calls that narrative into question. Geoff Bennett spoke with Rachel Reyes, Ruben Martinez's mother, and her attorney, Charles Stam.
