Lawyer for Ruben Ray Martinez's family: When Ruben lost his life, his car was in park. And right after those 3 bullets came through the window and went into his chest from that ICE officer, Ruben said 'I'm sorry, sir' as his last words. This was not someone who posed a threat.

See what they own --and how much they're worth.

See who's worked where-- and how much they banked.

THREAD.

3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead.

We decided to call him Jim.
