ICE agents broke US citizen’s arm as they detained him in California, officials say

Key Points:

• Federal immigration agents in Long Beach, California, broke the arm of US citizen Ricardo Gonzalez during a confrontation with protesters, with video showing him handcuffed and pinned face down by ICE officers.
• Gonzalez was reportedly tased twice, knocked off his e-bike by an unmarked ICE vehicle, and taken to the hospital with serious injuries; local officials confirmed he was injured while detained by ICE.
• Congressman Robert Garcia condemned the incident as a "brutal attack," called for the abolition of ICE, and criticized the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies.
• The Long Beach Police Department stated it was not involved in the immigration enforcement action but responded to a disturbance and transported Gonzalez for medical care; ICE agents were directed to leave the police station after the incident.
• The Gonzalez case echoes a recent Texas incident where an ICE agent allegedly ran over a man with an unmarked vehicle, causing serious injury, with felony assault charges under consideration against the agent.
