ICE Said a Man Jumped on the Hood of Their Vehicle. Video — and Police — Say Otherwise
Video from multiple angles led police to say the pedestrian was hit, not that he jumped on the hood, as a criminal probe continues.
- On Tuesday, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle struck 37-year-old Antonio Moreida in Woodland, California, with Woodland Police investigators using video footage to contradict federal claims that Moreida jumped onto the vehicle's hood.
- Moreida was documenting ICE activity on behalf of NorCal Resist, a group monitoring immigration operations, when he stood near an unmarked vehicle's driver side before it turned left, pushing him into the street.
- Video evidence from multiple sources led Woodland Police Chief Ryan Kinnan to label the Department of Homeland Security's account 'inconsistent' on Wednesday, as footage confirmed the vehicle struck the pedestrian.
- Following the incident, the Woodland Police Department launched a criminal investigation into the agents' actions, while Mayor Tom Stallard and U.S. Representative Mike Thompson condemned the agency's false characterization.
- This incident reflects a pattern where DHS accounts are contradicted by video evidence amid the immigration crackdown, as ICE recently announced extending officer training to 72 days to address vehicle operation concerns.
