Department of Homeland Security Oversight

On 60 Minutes, two U.S. citizens — paralegal Dayanne Figueroa and teacher’s assistant Marimar Martinez — gave on‑camera accounts of guns‑drawn Border Patrol stops after collisions with Border Patrol SUVs in Chicago, with bystander and surveillance video that appears to show an agent’s SUV veering into Figueroa’s car, agents drawing guns, dragging and handcuffing her, and Martinez saying she “feared for [her] life” after being wounded. Their lawyers provided footage they say contradicts DHS’s claim that agents were “boxed in,” and the broadcast highlighted lasting physical and psychological harm while increasing pressure on DHS to explain the disparity.
