ICE said a man jumped on the hood of their vehicle. Video — and police — say otherwise

When footage of a man being hit by federal immigration officers’ SUV in Northern California became public, the Department of Homeland Security responded by saying the man had jumped on the vehicle’s hood.

Local police raised doubts about federal officials’ account as they announced a criminal investigation into Tuesday morning’s incident involving the pedestrian, 37-year-old Antonio Moreida, citing video footage that contradicted DHS’ statement.

Footage from a nearby surveillance camera, a bystander’s cellphone recording and Moreida’s GoPro, which had already been made public at the time of the agency’s statement, told a different story of what happened on a residential street in Woodland, an agricultural city just outside of Sacramento. The incident is the latest in which DHS’ account has been contradicted by officials and video evidence amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

In a statement Wednesday morning, DHS said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers didn’t hit a pedestrian.

“An agitator jumped onto the hood of an ICE vehicle and the officer driving applied the brakes,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement in response to CNN’s request for information. “The agitator slid off the hood. ICE immediately contacted EMS and the Woodland Police Department. Flopping for the camera is dangerous, especially when it interferes with a federal law enforcement operation,” apparently accusing the man of faking his injuries.

After the incident on Tuesday, Woodland Police Chief Ryan Kinnan said in a statement he found footage of the incident troubling. Investigators were working to gather evidence and statements and to review available audio and video related to the incident, including video taken from multiple perspectives, police said in a Facebook post . Woodland Police didn’t take part in the ICE operation the agents were involved in that morning, police said.

The following day, Woodland Police called DHS’ account “inconsistent.”

“Certain claims made in the DHS statement are inconsistent with the video evidence obtained and reviewed by Woodland Police investigators,” Kinnan said in an update Wednesday . The update said investigators had established, based on video evidence, the pedestrian had been hit by the vehicle driven by ICE agents and that he had not jumped onto the vehicle.

The local police department is conducting a criminal investigation into the events leading up to the collision and the actions of those involved, Kinnan said Wednesday.

By Thursday, in response to follow-up questions about the video footage, federal officials no longer said the person jumped on the hood.

“This individual chose to directly impede a law enforcement action and stand in the middle of an active road,” an ICE spokesperson said in a statement to CNN. “Our officers deliberately attempted to avoid making contact with this anti-ice protestor and drive around him, while also braking. We strongly urge individuals to not stand in the middle of active roadways while a law enforcement vehicle is approaching.”

Footage reviewed by CNN shows Moreida, a Woodland resident, in the middle of the street at around 9:40 a.m. Tuesday. Moreida said he had responded to a call that morning by NorCal Resist, a group which monitors immigration operations, about ICE activity in Woodland, he told CNN on Tuesday, hours after the incident.

He said he was trying to record agents’ unmarked vehicles. He had been recording one vehicle, standing on the car’s driver’s side, when it turned left and drove off, which he said pushed him into the middle of the street.

Video from Moreida’s GoPro shows him following a black Dodge Durango with tinted windows as it drives down the street.

Then, he said he heard a loud engine before seeing the agents’ black Chevy Tahoe drive toward him, which is shown in his GoPro footage, though the video has no audio.

Down the street, the bystander’s cellphone video shows the Durango pass the Tahoe, which has tinted windows, on a residential street. In the video’s background, people can be heard blowing whistles, presumably to alert people nearby of ICE’s presence in the neighborhood.

The ICE agent driving the Tahoe moves toward Moreida and between the cars with its brake lights on, footage shows. In the bystander’s video, Moreida isn’t yet visible.

The SUV’s wheels begin to turn to the left only a few feet from Moreida, a wider angle of surveillance footage from a home shows.

“The individual was standing in the street long enough that a reasonable person should be able to see them and recognize that they were there,” said Ryan Schwank , a former ICE attorney and training instructor who reviewed the videos provided by CNN.

Schwank also took issue with ICE’s characterization that Moreida was standing in the middle of an active road and impeding law enforcement’s actions.

“When we’re looking at Antonio’s actions, he’s not impeding. He’s not standing blocking the vehicle from moving,” he said. “He’s standing and filming, and that’s well within his bounds to do. He’s well within his rights to do what he was doing.”

Moreida’s GoPro appears to show when he’s struck by the front-right side of the vehicle before he drops his camera.

“Before I knew it, it just drove straight into me,” he said. “I took the hood of the car straight to the chest. It initially took the wind out of me and I couldn’t breathe.”

The surveillance footage shows Moreida take a step back when he appears to make contact with the car. He is then seen falling toward the ground, off the front-right side of the car, the footage shows.

In the bystander’s footage from behind, a screeching noise is heard before the Tahoe jolts forward. The SUV veers left before straightening out, the video shows.

The bystander’s angle shows the Tahoe brake lights turn off. Moreida is then visible in the bystander’s video, falling to the ground and rolling, first on his back with his legs swinging above him. He then appears seated upright in the nearby surveillance footage, this time facing the sidewalk.

The SUV’s brake lights turn back on briefly before it drives farther down the street, the surveillance footage shows.

The driver, an ICE agent, stayed near the scene and called local dispatch, Woodland Police said. The agent cooperated with police during the initial investigation, the local agency said.

Moreida said an off-duty EMT provided him aid at the scene before Woodland Police officers arrived. Federal agents didn’t approach him after he was hit by the SUV, he said.

Moreida said he was eventually transported to the hospital. He said he had X-rays taken of his swollen knees, where he said he had the most damage. In addition, he said he has bruises and cuts from the road.

ICE has reduced the amount of training for officers, including in vehicle operations and how to deal with confrontations, said Schwank, who is now an agency whistleblower after resigning in February .

On Saturday, ICE said it is instituting additional training for officers.

“ICE training will now be extending to 72 days. The change, effective June 2, 2026, will apply to all new academy classes beginning July 1, 2026. All graduates of the previous academy curriculum will attend follow-on training at the Advanced Field Officer Training Program,” an ICE spokesperson said in an emailed statement to CNN. “As we have said all along, ICE training does not end when recruits graduate from the academy. ICE officers go through a rigorous on-the-job training and mentorship. This additional training is tracked online and monitored closely.”

Soon after it became public, local officials expressed dismay over the incident, which occurred in a rural Northern California community that’s about half Latino. More than a fifth of the population is foreign-born, according to US Census estimates .

“The lack of truth in the Department of Homeland Security’s statement is evidenced by video taken at the scene,” Woodland Mayor Tom Stallard said in a statement issued Wednesday. “All of us can be assured that the Police Department’s investigation into this disturbing incident will continue to be speedy, fair, and impartial.”

US Rep. Mike Thompson, a Democrat whose district includes Woodland, said ICE’s statements about the facts surrounding the incident were disappointing but not surprising.

“ICE has a history of trying to hide the facts and mislead the public,” he told CNN. “And this is another example of that happening.”

On the day of the operation, Thompson called on Acting ICE Director David Venturella to investigate the collision, including by preserving evidence and cooperating with local authorities. As of Friday, the congressman had yet to receive a response to his letter, his office told CNN.

当一段男子在北加州被联邦移民官员的SUV撞倒的视频公开后，国土安全部回应称，该男子跳上了车辆的引擎盖。

当地警方对联邦官员的说法表示怀疑，并宣布对周二上午发生的涉及 37 岁行人 Antonio Moreida 的事件展开刑事调查，他们引用的视频录像与国土安全部的声明相矛盾。

附近监控摄像头的录像、旁观者手机拍摄的视频以及莫雷达的GoPro相机拍摄的视频（这些视频在国土安全部发表声明时已经公开）讲述了伍德兰市（位于萨克拉门托郊外的一座农业城市）一条居民街道上发生的事件的另一种版本。在特朗普政府严厉打击移民的行动中，这起事件是国土安全部官方说法与官员和视频证据相矛盾的最新案例。

美国国土安全部周三上午发表声明称，移民和海关执法人员没有撞到行人。

国土安全部发言人在一份声明中回应CNN的信息请求时表示：“一名煽动者跳上了美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）车辆的引擎盖，驾驶车辆的警官立即踩下了刹车。该煽动者从引擎盖上滑了下来。ICE立即联系了急救中心和伍德兰警察局。在镜头前装病是很危险的，尤其是在干扰联邦执法行动的情况下。” 声明显然是在指责该男子假装受伤。

周二事件发生后，伍德兰警察局长瑞安·金南在一份声明中表示，他发现事件录像令人不安。警方在脸书上发帖称，调查人员正在收集证据和证词，并审查与该事件相关的现有音频和视频，包括从多个角度拍摄的视频。警方表示，伍德兰警方并未参与当天上午移民执法局（ICE）特工参与的行动。

第二天，伍德兰警方称国土安全部的说法“前后矛盾”。

金南周三在一份最新通报中表示：“国土安全部声明中的某些说法与伍德兰警方调查人员获取和审查的视频证据不符。”通报称，调查人员根据视频证据确定，行人是被移民及海关执法局（ICE）特工驾驶的车辆撞倒的，而不是他自己跳上车的。

金南周三表示，当地警方正在对导致碰撞事故发生的事件以及相关人员的行为进行刑事调查。

到周四，在回应有关视频片段的后续问题时，联邦官员不再表示该人跳上了引擎盖。

美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）发言人在发给CNN的一份声明中表示：“此人选择直接阻碍执法行动，并站在繁忙的道路中央。我们的警员刻意避免与这名反ICE抗议者接触，并绕行他，同时还进行了刹车。我们强烈敦促民众在执法车辆接近时不要站在繁忙的道路中央。”

CNN查阅的录像显示，伍德兰居民莫雷达于周二上午9点40分左右出现在马路中央。莫雷达在事发数小时后于周二告诉CNN，当天上午他接到北加州抵抗组织（NorCal Resist）的电话，该组织负责监督移民行动，电话内容是关于美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）在伍德兰的活动。

他说他当时正在拍摄执法人员的便衣车辆。他站在一辆车的驾驶座一侧拍摄时，这辆车突然左转驶离，把他挤到了马路中央。

莫雷达的 GoPro 拍摄的视频显示，他跟随一辆黑色道奇 Durango（车窗贴有深色车膜）沿街行驶。

然后，他说他听到一声巨大的引擎声，接着看到特工们的黑色雪佛兰 Tahoe 向他驶来，他的 GoPro 拍摄的视频显示了这一幕，尽管视频没有声音。

旁观者用手机拍摄的视频显示，在一条居民街道上，一辆道奇杜兰戈SUV超过了那辆贴着深色车窗膜的雪佛兰塔霍SUV。视频背景中可以听到有人吹口哨，大概是为了提醒附近居民美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）人员出现在附近。

视频显示，驾驶雪佛兰Tahoe的移民执法局特工打开刹车灯，朝莫雷达驶去，并穿过两车之间。在旁观者拍摄的视频中，莫雷达的身影尚未出现。

从家中监控录像的广角镜头显示，SUV 的车轮在距离莫雷达几英尺远的地方开始向左转动。

“这个人站在街上的时间足够长，一个理性的人应该能够看到他并认出他在那里，”瑞安·施万克说道，他曾是美国移民及海关执法局的律师和培训教官，他审查了 CNN 提供的视频。

施万克还对美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）的说法提出异议，即莫雷达站在繁忙的道路中间，阻碍了执法部门的行动。

“我们观察安东尼奥的行为，他并没有妨碍交通。他没有挡住车辆行驶，”他说。“他只是站在那里拍摄，这完全在他的权限范围内。他完全有权这样做。”

莫雷达的 GoPro 似乎显示，在他掉落相机之前，他被车辆右前侧撞击。

“我还没反应过来，车就径直撞了过来，”他说。“引擎盖直接撞到了我的胸口。一开始我感觉喘不过气来，根本无法呼吸。”

监控录像显示，莫雷达在似乎与汽车发生碰撞时后退了一步。随后，录像显示他从汽车右前侧摔落到地面。

从旁观者拍摄的后方视频中可以看到，在塔霍SUV猛地向前冲去之前，先是传来一声刺耳的摩擦声。视频显示，这辆SUV先是向左偏了一下，然后才恢复正常行驶。

旁观者拍摄的画面显示，Tahoe的刹车灯熄灭了。随后，莫雷达出现在旁观者的视频中，他摔倒在地并翻滚，先是仰面朝天，双腿悬空。之后，在附近的监控录像中，他又恢复了坐姿，这次面向人行道。

监控录像显示，这辆SUV的刹车灯短暂地重新亮起，然后继续沿街道行驶。

伍德兰警方称，肇事司机是一名移民及海关执法局（ICE）特工，事发后留在现场附近并拨打了当地调度中心电话。当地执法机构表示，该特工在初步调查期间配合了警方工作。

莫雷达说，在伍德兰市警察到达之前，一名休班的急救员在现场为他提供了帮助。他还说，在他被SUV撞倒后，联邦特工并没有接近他。

莫雷达说他最终被送往医院。他说他拍了X光片，检查了肿胀的膝盖，他说膝盖是他受伤最严重的部位。此外，他还说他身上还有路面造成的擦伤和割伤。

施万克表示，美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）减少了对执法人员的培训，包括车辆操作和如何处理冲突方面的培训。施万克于 2 月份辞职，目前是该机构的举报人。

周六，美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）表示，将对执法人员进行额外培训。

美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）发言人在发给CNN的电子邮件声明中表示：“ICE的培训时长将延长至72天。这项变更将于2026年6月2日生效，并将适用于2026年7月1日开始的所有新学员。所有之前学员课程的毕业生都将参加后续的高级现场官员培训项目。” 声明还指出：“正如我们一直强调的，ICE的培训并非在学员从警校毕业后就结束了。ICE官员还要接受严格的在职培训和导师指导。这些额外的培训将在网上进行跟踪，并受到密切监控。”

事件曝光后不久，当地官员对此表示震惊。该事件发生在加州北部一个拉丁裔人口约占一半的乡村社区。根据美国人口普查局的估计，该社区超过五分之一的人口出生于国外。

伍德兰市市长汤姆·斯托拉德周三发表声明称：“国土安全部声明缺乏事实依据，现场拍摄的视频已证实这一点。我们可以放心，警方对这起令人不安的事件的调查将继续迅速、公正、不偏不倚。”

美国众议员迈克·汤普森（民主党人，其选区包括伍德兰）表示，美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）就该事件相关事实发表的声明令人失望，但并不意外。

“美国移民及海关执法局（ICE）一直以来都试图掩盖事实、误导公众，”他告诉CNN，“而这又是又一个例子。”

行动当天，汤普森呼吁美国移民及海关执法局代理局长戴维·文图雷拉对这起碰撞事故展开调查，包括保存证据并与地方当局合作。截至周五，汤普森的办公室告诉CNN，他尚未收到对此信的回复。
