"BURNETT: Breaking news, we have new video just into OUTFRONT and we'll show it to you. What you're looking at is ICE agents in an unmarked vehicle slamming into a U.S. citizens pickup truck. So that's what you actually watch happening here. So that is an ICE agent in that car. The pickup truck is the American citizen. Leo Martinez is an immigration rights volunteer in California. He was driving through the neighborhood monitoring ICE activity, which he had been doing for months before that."
"The agents who have been involved with ICE raids knew who he was. But in this case, everything was different. Agents rammed his truck and then they took him into custody. The incident ignited outrage and protests. Martinez was hospitalized after that car rammed into him. Later, after that, they booked him into a detention center. Of course, he's an American citizen. CNN has reached out to both DHS and ICE repeatedly since yesterday."
"So far, no response from either agency, but Leo Martinez is OUTFRONT now in his first national interview since the incident. And, Leo, I really appreciate your taking the time. I'm glad you're okay. When we watch that footage and we'll play it again. But you're in the pickup truck and then you're rammed, and I know you have dashcam footage of all of the time leading up to that actual moment as well."
