Statement summary

Jackson said the shooting was unlawful, the charges were baseless and Jimenez was complying with an order to drive away.

“their agreement to dismiss with prejudice bolsters our own argument that the shooting itself was unlawful and the charges against Mr. Jimenez entirely fabricated and baseless. The shooter, Agent Ortiz, violated department policy by firing his weapon at a moving vehicle, and Mr. Jimenez was in fact complying with Mr. Ortiz’s orders to drive away when Mr. Ortiz tried to murder him and shot him anyway.”

Response to this claim

Ortiz's shooting of Jimenez was not self-defense; Jimenez was maneuvering away after warning agents that schoolchildren would soon gather nearby.

“It's not the first time we've seen ICE agents shoot at people with little to zero provocation.”

Why we used this label

The reference point is Ortiz's decision to fire at Jimenez. Jackson places this shooting among ICE shootings with little to zero provocation, a direct criticism of the decision to fire. Challenged the characterization loses because he goes beyond disputing ICE's description of the reversing car and judges the shooting itself. Evidence: ABC7 Los Angeles report quoting him directly.
