The men in the van must not be deported. They are witnesses to a cold-blooded murder. Deporting them is witness tampering.
Wow. I just heard back from ICE on this. Here's their statement. No comment at all on the claim that the three witnesses in the van with the deceased man are being pressured to self-deport, and ICE refers further questions to the FBI:

Human Rights Watch has released a comprehensive report detailing human rights abuses by the government during this winter’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, which the group alleges also violates international human rights treaties that the U.S. is signed onto.
Report authors say feds violated Minnesotans' human rights during ICE surge
The 186-page report from Human Rights Watch in part highlights how federal agents stopped or detained thousands of people and alleges that many of the arrests were arbitrary and race-based.

An alarming number of immigrants are experiencing suicidality and severe mental health crises because of ICE’s escalated enforcement tactics. More info in this webinar on Tuesday, June 23 at 12:00 https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BhYh-6fZQt6BfGKxnAO4jg#/registration
Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Beyond Policy: How Immigrant Status Impacts Mental Health . After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.
Since January 2025, suicides have accounted for nearly 20% of all deaths in ICE custody, and nearly 80% of likely undocumented immigrants have reported negative health impacts due to immigration-related stress (KFF/NYT 2025 Survey of Immigrants). Navigating life in a new country is hard enough, but when state-sanctioned fear is used as a weapon, communities are paying the price with their mental health, their safety, and their lives. As mental health care providers, community workers, and neighbors, we cannot look away. Join Samaritans and a panel of experts for an honest conversation about the trauma and chronic stress immigrants in the U.S. face, and how to support them. This webinar will: Identify how the US immigration system impacts mental health through fear, hypervigilance, and dehumanization. Discuss why those at most risk are often the least able to access suicide prevention resources, and how distrust of systems, language barriers, and immigration-related fears keep people from seeking help. Explore the power of empathy in allyship to better protect vulnerable individuals. Suicide prevention must include everyone, and that means confronting unjust policies and conditions. We all play a role in protecting our neighbors. Application for social work continuing education credits has been submitted. Please contact us at marketing@samaritanshope.org for the status of social work CE accreditation.
