A man who says he is a U.S. citizen is injured during an ICE detention in Long Beach, California, and is taken to a hospital, according to multiple outlets and local officials. A video widely shared online shows him face down and handcuffed while agents kneel on his back as he screams in pain, with accounts alleging his arm is broken.
The incident draws public anger and political scrutiny, including criticism from Rep. Robert Garcia, whose district includes Long Beach. Garcia and other reports describe the injury as severe and say the man’s claim of citizenship raises concerns. Some reports note that Long Beach police respond after being called by ICE for backup, arriving at a “large group disturbance” that involved federal agents, and later removing handcuffs and transporting the man for treatment.
Outlets differ in emphasis, with some foregrounding the congressman’s characterization and calls for accountability, while others focus on what police and other officials say about their involvement and the lack of publicly stated explanations from the Department of Homeland Security about why the man was detained.
