Federal judge dismisses indictment against TikToker shot by ICE, citing constitutional violations

Days ahead of trial, a federal judge has dismissed an indictment against a TikTok streamer shot by ICE earlier this year, citing constitutional violations by the government. In a Saturday order, U.S. District Judge Fernando M. Olguin cited the deprivation of Carlitos Ricardo Parias' access to counsel while held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention and the government's failure to comply with discovery deadlines - including the timely release of body worn camera footage that captured the shooting.
