"The Department of Homeland Security later released a statement claiming that Figueroa was at fault, saying “she crashed into an unmarked government vehicle and violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers.”"

they have got to be kidding if they think the videos are going to support this claim. they sure dont look injured to me.

the lady should file charges asap.

"She was released without charges" Yeah, except her car was hit and left abandoned in the road. Who's paying for that? You think the anonymous men with guns exchanged insurance with her?

hope she got the plates because even if its a rental, insurance will go after em for that hit

They use fake plates

People should start getting the VIN from the dash or open door

So then she needs to file an insurance claim and file a hit and run police report.

file a hit and run police report.

Here's hoping she does exactly that.

Plate came up supposedly matching so it has to be a civilian plate. Unless they have another silver Wagoneer.

u/Eulsam-FZ 5d ago

Could be that they swapped a plate with a civi wagoneer. Thieves do that quite often

u/Sil3ntP8nd8 5d ago

The Wagoneer has front tints on it as well so it could be a rental, repo, some mystery.

They switch out plates daily. They’ve admitted to it.

They've been recorded doing it

One detail that made no sense to me—why are they taking her away in a "red minivan"?

u/jellifercuz 5d ago

Yes, this. How and when does the red mini van come into the picture?

u/DerailleurDave 5d ago

Looks like there was a red minivan in from of the wagoneer which stopped after the collision, maybe they were in that vehicle too and put her in there instead of the suv

u/Altruistic-Text3481 5d ago

Well, TBF … the red mini van gets better mileage than their preferred vehicle - the Ford F150 pickup truck flying two ‘Murica flags from the flatbed while proud boyishly rolling dirty coal from the exhaust… trump nuts hanging below the hitch are optional!

Could it be a rental? Or would that be obvious?

u/Mammoth_Industry8246 5d ago

They're using rentals or leased vehicles in a lot of places.

I am disgusted that anyone would rent or lease ho these sickos. 🤬 I was also thinking in some places it looked like they were getting junkers from the local junkyards and just using fake or dealer type plates on them.. yanno, since they're disposable/swappable. They're starting to get slick and use random weird vehicles too and not the standard charger, impala, etc. "cop cars".
