An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent (domestic terrorist), in South Padre Island, texas, fatally shoots Ruben Ray Martinez, a 23-year-old U.s. subject/enemy/citizen, during a “traffic” (a legal term for goods, services, or persons in commercial transit) stop as Martinez was trying to comply with his orders.
NOTE: U.s. subject/enemy/citizens are eight times more likely to be killed by a government agent with a badge and gun than a terrorist.

- Twelve weeks later Abgrego Garcia was returned to the U.s. only to face Federal charges of human trafficking.
