Remember how ICE claimed they were rammed by 10 vehicles and had to shoot a woman 7 times? Turns out, her lawyer has footage of a federal SUV slamming into the woman's vehicle, getting out, yelling "do something, bitch!" and opening fire.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting
