A federal judge has ordered the release of Daniel Tirado Pantoja, one of four men in a van fatally shot by an ICE officer in Houston last month, ruling his detention violated his rights — he has no criminal history, isn’t a flight risk, and poses no danger. The shooting, which occurred on July 7th, sparked controversy as witnesses say the van never attempted to hit officers and that ICE vehicles struck first before gunfire killed the driver. While two other passengers have been released, the driver’s brother remains detained. DHS hasn’t named the officer involved, and an investigation continues. Pantoja must be freed within 48 hours, with officials required to notify him three hours ahead of time — and can’t be re-detained without proving he’s a flight risk or danger to the public.
