And facial injuries and claimed he had done it himself running into a brick wall. The medical staff said there were injuries on both sides and the back of his head, so no. The guy was a legal immigrant, now disabled. They finally unshackled him from the hospital bed and ultimately just let him go.

2) what happens to other people, whether they look like immigrants or they're just observers, could just as easily happen to them and their loved ones just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and
3) Anyone who doesn't also blame the victim will know that they - the MAGA, MAGA adjacent, and Government Enforcement groupies in general - are really awful, unredeemable people driving this once great country down the Highway to Hell.

I think very few of the cult even know that migrants who have applied for asylum are in the country legally until they have a hearing and are either granted asylum or remanded for deportation. They don't care about the law and reality, they just enjoy seeing black and brown people get hurt or killed.

His suffering on earth should only be surpassed by his suffering in hell.

I'm thinking testicular cancer that has spread to his bones, but when they do an ultrasound, one of the tumors is a teratoma tumor that registers a heartbeat. No treatment, or pain medication that might damage that heartbeat.

When he dies after several years and goes to hell, he learns the only medical treatment available is to have rats gnaw the tumors out.

It happened at the corner of Long Beach Boulevard and Cedar Avenue in the city of Lynwood at 2:55 pm on 1/30/2026.
This statement by a Lynwood Council Member acknowledged the "disturbing" video but says that what appeared to be federal agents were actually Anaheim Police who ended up there; the Sheriff was not involved in the operation and came up to it after the fact.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUKVdtckU0Y/

The city of Lynwood does not have its own independent police department. Instead, law enforcement services are provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

It is odd that Anaheim PD, which is in Orange County, would be in Lynwood, which is Los Angeles County. Anaheim PD has a lot of police excessive use of force complaints against it.

That was actually an Anaheim police officer who assaulted him. So his chances of getting medical treatment are a lot better than if he was in ICE custody.

you could have shown this video and no one, not a single person, would have believed that it happened in the US.
Or, if told it was in the US, they would be certain that all of the cops were in jail and on their way to a trial and significant jail sentence.
Trump has normalized this, and that is why millions of people are now willing to risk being in the open opposition.

I think that "agent" was a pro robbing drug dealers before this that is their style. Also extra horrible to do that to a surrendered kid posing nothing but submission.

He says that ICE wasn't involved and that the LA Sheriff's Dept. didn't show up until the end of the operation.

I''m taking this with a big grain of salt, but it seems to make more sense than most of the speculation I've read about the incident. At least it would account for what looks like "Anaheim" on the uniforms.

Using a gun to beat someone in the head (while their hands are up!) is a great way for the gun to go off and shoot someone in an urban area like this. That idiot should be fired and prosecuted, I don’t care if he is ICE or municipal police, he should not be on the streets.

This was not in the city of Long Beach, but at the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and the Cedar Avenue in the city of Lynwood at 2:55 pm on 1/30/2026.
This statement by a Lynwood Council Member acknowledged the "disturbing" video but says that what appeared to be federal agents were actually Anaheim Police who ended up there, the Sheriff was not involved in the operation and came up to it after the fact.

Anaheim PD is notorious. They sprayed a fleeing suspect with 76 bullets a few years ago. It was a miracle no bystanders were hurt. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/anaheim-officers-wont-be-charged-after-firing-76-shots-during-pursuit-killing-suspect-warning-graphic-video/

You should really unfollow that Twitter propaganda spreader.

Those are Anaheim (city in Orange County, CA) Police Dep't officers operating in Long Beach (read their patch on back)

Doesn't it bother you that the "source" values clicks and follows more than truth?

And by bringing it to DU... 205+ more people were deceived?

And they're not operating in Long Beach. They made that arrest in Lynwood.

Seems weird that Anaheim PD would be in LA County. You'd think if Anaheim PD had taken down a child trafficking ring two days ago, they would have postd a press release about the arrest. Nothing is on their website, where they brag about arrests. https://pd.anaheim.net/m/newsflash/home/detail/23

Please drop a link to where you heard that this suspect was in a child smuggling ring. Thanks in advance.

Since Anaheim PD has recently been working in LB busting up a child smuggling ring, their presence in LA County isn't unusual... in fact, LA County Sheriffs Dep't were providing security for the arrest operation of the perp for the felony warrant.

So them being in LA County isn't strange, even if THIS arrest was for a felony smash and grab that led to traffic collision and evading arrest.

And no, the LA County Sheriff was NOT involved in this arrest. It came upon it after the fact, as emphatically stated by a Lynwood City Council Member. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUKVdtckU0Y/

City of Lynwood does not have its own independent police department. Instead, law enforcement services are provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. It appears the Sheriff saw the commotion and stopped to control the (rightfully) enraged crowd.

The Sheriff came upon it after Anaheim PD got there at that intersection. The Anaheim PD operation was in no way coordinated with the LA County Sheriff's Department, as the Council Member made clear.

Again, please provide the link where you read that Anaheim PD was working all January in Long Beach on a child smuggling ring.

Anaheim police appears to pistol-whip a teen suspect linked to smash-and-grab

Police said the juvenile was an outstanding suspect in the smash-and grab robbery of a jewelry store that had ended in two car crashes in Anaheim on Jan. 23.

By Helen Jeong • Published 14 minutes ago • Updated 6 minutes ago

The Anaheim Police Department said Sunday that it will launch an internal, use-of-force investigation after an officer was seen in a cellphone video, appearing to strike a suspect with his firearm.

The video that has circulated on social media shows a suspect in dark clothing appearing to try evading an arrest in Lynwood while an officer with the Anaheim police vest chases him.

When the suspect finally puts his hands up, the video shows, the officer appears to pistol-whip the suspect in the head as another officer runs over to tackle him. The footage does not show what happened prior to the arrest.

The suspect, who says he’s 16 years old in the video, appears to have his face covered with blood.

VIDEO: Violent SoCal jewelry store heist leads to crashes, arrests after botched getaway

By Leanne Suter KABC logo

A chaotic robbery at an Orange County jewelry store was the start of a violent rampage that included high-speed getaways as the thieves tried to get away with $750,000 worth of stolen jewels.

FULLERTON, Calif. -- A chaotic smash-and-grab robbery at a jewelry store in Orange County Friday was the start of a violent rampage that included high-speed getaways and crashes.

Surveillance footage captured thieves rushing into Classic Jewelers in Anaheim Hills after they crashed an SUV through the front door of the business. They're caught on video smashing glass cases, grabbing jewelry and escaping in getaway cars.

Owner Ramzy Tabello said about eight suspects, wearing ski masks and hoodies, caused terror in his store using hammers and crowbars.

"I said, 'I have a gun, get out. I have a gun.' They saw my gun on the counter. They grabbed it," Tabello said.
