DHS:

The Trump-led Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accused Villegas-Gonzalez of having “resisted arrest, attempted to flee the scene and dragged a [Ice] officer a significant distance with his car” at the time of his killing.


Surveillance Video:

One surveillance video of the incident uploaded to social media shows Villegas-Gonzalez backing up, then driving forward with at least one officer pulling on his door. Another video shows agents trying to get into Villegas-Gonzalez’s car by pulling on a door handle after it crashed into a truck.


I sure would like to see that surveillance video. Holding on to the car door doesn't mean he was dragged...and he could have let go at any point.

It's DHS that is telling this story aand frankly I don't believe a word they say.
