With law enforcement releasing little information about the death of Silverio Villegas González, one advocate said they “have to stitch this together ourselves.”

You’re missing a core point: ICE habitually and consistently misrepresents their actions to cast themselves in a defensible light.
I would be 0% surprised if “running over a law enforcement officer” was “grabbed the door handle and didn’t let go because the ICEcube thought he had a brown fish on the line”. ICE gets absolutely zero benefit of the doubt from me, and should get zero benefit of the doubt from anyone who’s not an overt racist.
And you’re missing another key element here: the agents involved are going to likely get the carte blanche rubber stamp of “qualified immunity” in a situation where they acted as judge, jury, and executioner on what could generously be described as flimsy evidence. It was bad before we had an authoritarian fascist regime in charge, but it’s getting turbocharged now. Refusing to acknowledge that is, at best, an indication of being woefully ignorant and misinformed. ICE is not the good guys.
That’s poetry right there
