🚨BREAKING: WARNING — DISTURBING FOOTAGE
Yesterday in Minneapolis, ICE agents brutally beat and illegally arrested a legal U.S. resident… all caught on camera.
In the video, five ICE agents are seen on top of a man who is face down on the concrete.
One agent repeatedly knees him in the face while the man does not resist. He is motionless, in pain, and screaming in agony.
The assault only stops when the agent realizes a legal observer is filming. This is not an allegation. It is recorded violence.
And it gets worse.
The man, identified as Juan Carlos, is currently unhoused and living out of his car.
ICE agents unlawfully approached him, ripped him from his vehicle, violently beat him, arrested him, and transported him to the Whipple Detention Facility.
Juan Carlos posed no threat. He is a legal U.S. resident. Yet, he was assaulted and treated like a criminal.
While in custody, he began having difficulty breathing. Only then did agents transport him to a hospital, still in shackles. He had blood in his ears from the beating, yet, was denied medical care until he was in medical distress.
Once at the hospital, ICE agents attempted to intimidate medical staff and interfere with care. After approximately two hours, they finally issued Juan Carlos a ticket and left.
To be absolutely clear:
-ICE agents beat a legal U.S. resident.
-They illegally arrested him.
-They attempted to hold him in a detention facility.
-They withheld medical care until his condition worsened.
-They only backed down once there were witnesses, video evidence, and hospital staff present.
If Juan Carlos had not been taken to the hospital… a place with mandated witnesses and documentation… it is very possible a legal U.S. resident would still be sitting in an immigration detention center today.
And this is the part they don’t want you to realize:
Immigration detention is a profit-driven system. Private prison corporations make money by keeping beds full. Every illegal arrest, every unlawful hold, every person thrown into a detention center without cause is revenue for a private company.
When law enforcement agencies can illegally beat and attempt to warehouse legal residents for profit, this stops being about immigration enforcement and becomes a business model built on human suffering, and human trafficking.
This is not a misunderstanding.
This is not “questioning.”
This is state violence, enabled by a system that profits from illegal confinement.
And it will continue until it is forced to stop.
