How one bullet destroyed DHS claim agents were afraid for their lives

A bullet hole in the front door of Sosa-Celis' home, found between a child's bed and a crib, suggests that ICE agents fired into the door after he had entered, contradicting claims that he posed a threat, with attorney Frederick Goetz stating that "Sosa-Celis was struck after he entered the house, so he could not have constituted a threat."
The incident is one of several cases where DHS claims of self-defense have been disputed, including the shooting of Marimar Martinez, who was shot five times by agents, with her lawyer Christopher Parente saying that video evidence shows a different story, including construction cones to the right and no one in front of them, directly contradicting DHS allegations that their vehicle was boxed in.
The repeated use of the "afraid for their lives" defense by DHS has been criticized, with lawyers and witnesses arguing that it is a standard tactic to justify excessive force, as seen in cases such as Renee Nicole Good's shooting and Alex Jeffrey Pretti's death, with DHS claiming that officers were afraid for their lives despite eyewitness accounts and evidence suggesting otherwise.
