Yesterday in Minneapolis:

ICE agents brutally beat and illegally arrest a legal U.S. resident. In the video, five ICE agents are seen on top of a man who is face down on the concrete. One agent repeatedly knees him in the face while the man does not resist. He is motionless, in pain, and screaming in agony. The assault only stops when the agent realizes a legal observer is filming.

The man, identified as Juan Carlos, is homeless and living out of his car. ICE agents ripped him from his vehicle, violently beat him, arrested him, and transported him to the Whipple Detention Facility.

He posed no threat to anyone. He is a legal U.S. resident. Yet, he was assaulted and treated like a criminal.

While in custody, he began having difficulty breathing. Only then did agents transport him to a hospital, still in shackles. He had blood in his ears from the beating, yet, was denied medical care until he was in medical distress.

Once at the hospital, ICE agents attempted to intimidate medical staff and interfere with care. After approximately two hours, they finally issued Juan Carlos a ticket and left.

To be absolutely clear:

-ICE agents beat a legal U.S. resident.

-They illegally arrested him.

-They attempted to hold him in a detention facility.

-They withheld medical care until his condition worsened.

-They only backed down once there were witnesses, video evidence, and hospital staff present.

If Juan Carlos had not been taken to the hospital… a place with mandated witnesses and documentation… it is very possible (probable) a legal U.S. resident would still be sitting in an immigration detention center today.
