    His hands were out in front of his head, clasped together. This directly contradicts the DHS statement that he reached for a weapon.

    Not that that’s surprising, but it needs to be said.

      Had this guy actually reached for his gun and shot all the ice agents, then the US government would claim his innocence because at this point their just have to lie pathologically
