Department of Homeland Security Changes Story of Maryland ICE Shooting After Local Police Release Contradicting Details
ICE updated its account after police report contradicted original claim; one man was in the van, the other in custody, and the driver allegedly weaponized the vehicle.
- On December 24, 2025, DHS revised its account of an ICE shooting in Glen Burnie, Maryland, after the Anne Arundel County Police Department contradicted its initial claim that officers "defensively fired".
- The Anne Arundel County Police Department's Thursday report said one injured ICE detainee was already in custody and another was struck while operating a separate vehicle, emphasizing their investigation is ongoing and officers do not enforce immigration law.
- Authorities identified the two men as Tiago Alexandre Sousa-Martins, Portuguese national and van driver held in Bowling Green, Virginia detention center, and Solomon Antonio Serrano-Esquivel, Salvadoran national treated for whiplash and now in ICE custody.
- The revision intensified questions about DHS reporting as officials' repeated claims of 'weaponized' vehicles persist amid scrutiny after last week's fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good and Minneapolis protests.
- Investigators note limited independent witnesses, with no video and only the two detainees as non-law-enforcement witnesses, while ICE agents fired and provided medical care with no injuries.
