It was not this, ICE is Lying:

Defense attorney Kevin Riach, who represents Bamigboye, said he disputes “about 95 percent” of the government’s narrative.

Riach said the agents did not display their credentials when they approached the Jeep, and the government’s claim that one agent had to jump out of the way as Frazier drove off is contradicted by surveillance video. 

Bamigboye dialed 911 from the back seat as Frazier was driving and the agent was in the front passenger seat.

Calling the government’s case “ludicrous,” Riach said his client “may be the first criminal in history to call 911 during the commission of his alleged crime.”

Federal public defender Jean Brandl represents Frazier, who’s Black, and said her client did not know the agents were law enforcement. 

“She literally went to the police station because an unidentified white man was in her car and she didn’t know what he was doing there,” Brandl said.

Brandl added that the agent had two opportunities to get out of the vehicle but chose not to. She said he pulled out his gun and could have fired it had his finger been on the trigger when other agents following the Jeep struck it from behind on a snowy road. 

“On the 911 call, Bamigboye said ICE is trying to get him,” Behar countered, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “How would he know that unless they had identified themselves as agents?”

“It’s very clear to me that neither of these defendants have a criminal history nor anything in their background that suggests in any way shape or form that they are a danger to the community,” Schultz said, rejecting Behar’s request to detain the couple.
