...and noted she voted for President Trump in 2024. But she said the federal government urgently needs to reform how immigration agents conduct their duties.

"I don't blame President Trump for the death of my son, 'cause he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger," Reyes said. "But I do think that something needs to be changed in that department as far as the pattern of violence or abuse and impunity."

DHS' account of the incident was disputed by Joshua Orta, Martinez's close friend and a passenger of the vehicle during the fatal shooting. Orta said in a draft declaration, shared and prepared by Martinez's lawyers, that his friend "did not hit anyone." Orta died in a separate car crash last month, before he could sign the declaration and testify.

"I don't blame President Trump for the death of my son, 'cause he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger," Reyes said

"I don't blame the enclosure manager who deliberately released all the leopards and told them to eat the faces of people like my son, because it wasn't his teeth that actually tore the faces off."

In sorry for her loss. But at the same time, what a fucking idiot.

    At this point, I'm no longer sorry for her loss. Especially for a Trump 2024 voter.

    Honestly, anyone who voted for orangeboi in 2024 more than deserves every single negative ramification of that election.

    It’s a real challenge for her and would require deep introspection and a lot of guilt.

    If she blamed the president and she voted for him then she would also be to blame. She would have in essence assisted in her son’s death.

    This is a horrifying fact so she shies away from it and directs blame to the system instead.

    Two in the thoughts, and one in the prayers.

    What a stupid bitch.

    Who does she think is enabling that?

    Trump has literally said that he doesn't intend to let the DOJ go after any of those bloodthirsty hounds.

    He doesn't want them on a lead, he wants them as a force to weaponise against his dissenters - the more rabid the better, as it makes people more afraid.

    The indoctrination runs so deep. This stupid bitches kid was killed as a direct result of Trump's actions and she doesn't blame him?

    LOL, if there's one thing our ruling parties love, it's letting supposed law enforcers kill citizens.

    It's a feature of the American experience, not a bug.

    I really would like less news coverage of trump supporters. Their opinions are bad. I'd like the news media to focus on humanizing everyone else.

    theres a polish song about that

    "ja jeśli ukradne, ide do więzienia wy możecie nawet zabić, nic to nie zmienia nie czynicie tego własnymi rękami zastępują was oprawcy przez was naganiani"

    translation:

    "if i steal i will go to jail you can even kill and nothing will happen you dont do it with your own hands torturers encouraged by you do that instead"

    And the only witness is dead as well. How convenient. Amazing how many Trump witnesses get dead.

    Sadly it takes something like this to get trump supporters in board.

    Not sure about that, according to her own statement in the article she doesn't blame Trump for any of this. It might take a few more dead family members to get her to re-think her support.
