The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.
ICE reportedly denied the request.

I need to see a freeze frame, but in the NYT video it looks to me like Ross unholsters his weapon before Good even switches the gear into drive. That is why his gun is out and in a position to shoot when she moves forward. Anticipatory "self-defense" www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Recent videos of extremist settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank are horrifying. I have demanded an explanation from the Israeli Embassy.
The President and the US Ambassador must ensure that this violence stops immediately and that the perpetrators are brought to justice.
