TERROR: Executions & Deaths

2025 March

2025-03-01 Although the bodycam footage wasn’t discovered until March of 2026, DPS released footage of a fatal ICE shooting on South Padre island where ICE agents shot and killed a 23-year-old man Ruben Ray Martinez.

2025 September

2025-09-12 During ICE presence in Franklin Park Illinois an agent shot Silverio Villegas Gonzalez to death.

Onlookers took footage of agents pulling the man’s lifeless body out of a car. Some news sources stated agents were not wearing bodycams.

2026 January

2026-01-07 ICE fatally shot and killed a 37-year-old mother of three, claiming she allegedly hit an ICE officer with her vehicle. Trump posted on social media that the officer was hit by the vehicle and lucky to be alive. Video shows the officer out of the way of the vehicle, taking video with his phone, walking away from the scene unscathed, and continuing to play with his phone immediately after the incident. The body cam footage showed the woman’s final words, “It’s okay, I’m not mad at you” and someone in the background calling the woman a “fucking bitch”.

2026-01-23 ICE fatally shot and killed 37-year-old VA nurse Alex Pretti when he tried to help a woman who was being surrounded by ICE agents. According to sources, Pretti did have a concealed carry license. DHS reported they killed Pretti because he threatened to shoot ICE agents, but several witnesses and captured video showed Pretti only holding his phone. Six ICE agents tackled Pretti and removed what appeared to be a gun from him, pepper sprayed him, held him face-down and then shot him several times in the back. After the shooting, DHS refused to share evidence with local investigators.

2026 February

2026-02-03 Trump and Republican figures like Jeanine Pirro, Dan Bongino, Kristi Noem and Kash Patel admonished Alex Pretti for carrying a concealed weapon, stating nobody should be bringing guns to a protest. For context, Kash Patel tried to help Rittenhouse sue Biden and the media for character assassination even though he brought guns across state lines to a protest. In August 2020 Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old at the time, drove from Illinois to Wisconsin with an AR-15 and shot three protesters in the wake of the Jacob Blake shooting. He was hailed by Conservatives as a defender of Second Amendment rights and was acquitted on all charges including first-degree intentional homicide.

2026 March

2026-03-12 In May of 2025 Trump had accused South Africa of white genocide and invited white South Afrikaners to migrate to the U.S. By March 2026, those who migrated to the U.S. decided it would be best to return to South Africa, citing a better cost of living in South Africa, less racism, and concerns over growing violence from the Trump regime such as the execution of American citizens by ICE. One article quotes a South Afrikaner as stating, “People are being shot in broad daylight. American citizens are being shot and killed. I don’t want to live in a place like this”.
