Rafie Ollah Shouhed, 79, suffered multiple broken ribs, elbow injuries and a traumatic brain injury during the Sept. 9 incident, according to the federal tort claim filed by his attorneys.

According to his claim, when Shouhed attempted to show agents proof of his employees' work authorization, agents "cursed at him" and "violently body-slammed him onto the pavement." Three agents then allegedly pinned him down, with one placing a knee on his neck, the claim stated.

"You don't f--- with ICE. We are here," agents responded, according to the claim.

I mean we're seeing these videos everyday. A no kings protest 2 weeks from now isn't going to stop this. sternly worded letters won't stop this. there is one force we know if which can stop this.

everyday

everyday: typical, mundane

every day: daily

It's the difference between yelling "Hi Jack!" at the airport .. and something else.

Since ice is made up of molon labe guys, they should be fully supportive.

The molon lave guys seem to ignore the part where the Spartans did, in fact, find out

I was thinking about something similar.

I mean you figure it's a couple hundred k to get one gestapo agent onto the streets. it doesn't take much to see that the economics require a high level of utilization. It's not like one gestapo can just go out there and kidnap people. they need several to kidnap one person.

I hate the idea that ICE and LEO can commit these types of abuses and then the cost of lawsuits is borne by taxpayers broadly. Seems like it would be more impactful if liability was on the officer (through professional insurance) and the agencies that employee them.

That's why ICE agents cover the faces. you can't really know if they are even real agents

I believe it would be best if it is split. $100,000 per incident by the U.S. government, $1,000,000 by the agents involved. Bankruptcy not being able to get rid of it. That's before there should be criminal implications.

That's why there's been a movement for years to end Qualified Immunity and force Police to carry their own insurance like Doctors do. As long as Police face no serious consequences for breaking the Law, they'll continue to be vicious thugs.

I made this same comment before I read yours. So 100% agree.

End qualified immunity and have the lawsuit money come out or the cops pension money and I'm sure it would change right quick.

No matter how much hate ICE is getting, it is not enough

Ice came to chicago to learn how to put a government in debt from lawsuits due to law enforcement behavior.

It is like the lawyers pulled a number out of thin air.

And the conservative base reads the article thusly:

Los Angeles

Oooh, strike one.

car wash

Ooooooooh, that sounds awful immigranty. Strike two!

Rafie Ollah Shouhed

Aaaand that's three, your humanity is OUTTA HERE!

Your woke propaganda like "citizen" and "business owner" have no power here!

Best I can do is the rest of your life in an El Salvadoran concentration camp.
