The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”

ICE physically assault peaceful protesters—repeatedly shoot pepper spray directly at faces from point blank range.

Agents then nearly run over bystanders with car trying to flee scene.
