DHS Revises Account of Glen Burnie ICE Shooting After Local Police Dispute

The agency now says the second man was already in ICE custody when he was hurt.

Overview

  • ICE first said both injured men were in a van that drove at agents, but on Friday a DHS spokesperson acknowledged Solomon Antonio Serrano-Esquivel was in ICE custody when he was injured.
  • Anne Arundel County Police had stated a day earlier that Serrano-Esquivel was in an ICE vehicle and that Tiago Alexandre Sousa-Martins was shot while driving a separate van.
  • ICE maintains three agents fired at Sousa-Martins after he allegedly rammed ICE vehicles and appeared to drive toward officers, striking him before his van crashed.
  • Sousa-Martins is listed in ICE custody at the Caroline Detention Facility, while Serrano-Esquivel does not appear in the public detainee locator and his custody status remains unclear.
  • County police are investigating the shooting, the FBI is examining the alleged assault on agents, and ICE says it is conducting an internal review.
