ICE said a man jumped on the hood of their vehicle. Video - and police - say otherwise

Key Points:

• Video footage from multiple sources contradicts the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) claim that a man, Antonio Moreida, jumped onto the hood of a federal immigration SUV; instead, local police confirm he was struck by the vehicle in Woodland, California.
• DHS initially stated that Moreida was an "agitator" who slid off the vehicle's hood after jumping on it, but Woodland Police Chief Ryan Kinnan called this account inconsistent with video evidence and launched a criminal investigation.
• Moreida, who was filming ICE agents' activity, was hit by the front-right side of the SUV while standing in the street, sustaining injuries including swollen knees, bruises, and cuts; federal agents did not approach him after the incident.
• ICE later adjusted its narrative, saying Moreida impeded law enforcement by standing in the road, but legal experts and local officials argue he was within his rights to film and not obstructing the vehicle.
• In response to the incident and criticism, ICE announced plans to extend officer training to 72 days starting in July 2026, aiming to improve vehicle operation and confrontation handling; local officials and lawmakers called for thorough and impartial investigations.
